New Independent Research Report Names Leaders in Marketing Measurement and Optimization Solutions

    NEW YORK, NY, October 12, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marketing Evolution is recognized with a "Leader" designation in Forrester Research's recent report, "The Forrester Wave: Marketing Measurement And Optimization Solutions, Q4 2016". In naming Marketing Evolution a "Leader," Forrester specifically calls out Marketing Evolution's high marks for its "unified methodology, strategic services, and ability to optimize campaigns by placement, creative, and customer segment."

Forrester authors Tina Moffett and Jim Nail observe in the report that "marketers must use performance data to better connect with customers, applying analytics to delve into segment differences, channel preferences, message resonance, and product offer interest." In its profile of Marketing Evolution, Forrester concludes that, "Marketing Evolution is a strong choice for firms that embrace a person-centric view of marketing's future and are willing to depart from the well-accepted paths of marketing mix modeling and attribution for a partner that, in the words of one customer, 'will be on the cutting edge as the space changes.'"

The analytic world is evolving. "The rise of unified measurement is one expression of an even larger trend: the rise of data-driven and contextual marketing," notes the Forrester report. However, "Marketing mix models aren't fast or detailed enough" and "Digital attribution lacks a holistic media view." Therefore, in its customer survey for the Wave evaluation, Forrester "found strong momentum behind the adoption of [Unified Marketing Impact Analysis] UMIA."

"I think the message to marketers from Forrester's Wave report is that it is time to evolve. Old analytic approaches no longer do enough to keep marketers competitive," says Rex Briggs, Founder and CEO of Marketing Evolution.

According to Laura Gross, Warner Bros Home Entertainment VP of Media and Research, "In contrast to mix modeling and attribution modeling, which we've tried, Marketing Evolution is far more actionable."

Marketing Evolution announced a free executive briefing and demonstration program. It's easy to see why Marketing Evolution is faster to implement, easier to use and gives more detailed optimizations. Marketing Evolution will travel to marketer's office, deliver case studies, and present a live demonstration of the technology that is customized to match the marketers business. "Every marketer wants to be data driven. We will show how they can step up their game and increase profits. Marketers need to see what is possible, live, in-person. We want to help marketers see that being data driven can be easy, and maybe even fun," noted Briggs.

Forrester's designation as a "Leader" adds to the independent awards and recognition Marketing Evolution has received this year. Others include:

- Big Data Gold Medal from the Advertising Research Foundation's David Ogilvy Award
- Mobile Marketing Association's (MMA) long-standing and renewed partnership via SMoX industry ROI studies
- CEB, which has recognized the best practices of several of Marketing Evolution's clients, recently announced a new round of Marketing Evolution case studies to be presented to its members.
