Orchestrating Marketing Measurement
(aka How to Make Attribution, Incrementality, and MMM Play Nicely Together)

Why has determinism never been as deterministic? How did Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) lead to such rapid evolution in digital marketing? Why is everyone talking about incrementality and Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) recently? Should marketers consider discontinuing the use of attribution? This session aims to provide clarity by explaining the distinctions between these methods and guiding when each should be employed.
