    Course: Marketing Return on Investment (ROI) Seminar

    Marketers today are held accountable and expected to prove their ideas are effective in the marketplace. At the same time, advertising effectiveness is more difficult to measure. While these appear to be competing pressures, there are techniques and solutions available to help solve ongoing challenges facing all marketers and advertisers today.

    In this one-day seminar, you will learn how to define and use ROI to solve problems and ensure that marketing investments are measurable by using real-world examples of direct and interactive cases. Throughout the seminar, you will learn how to use a data-driven, test-versus-control approach to prove the value of marketing communications across channels.
