Improvement of marketing performance, and specifically the ability to pinpoint the drivers and detractors for performance, is the holy grail of marketing organizations. The ability to analyze performance across all activities and generate improved results defines the "information nirvana" marketers are looking for. Traditionally, companies have taken a "hit-or-miss" or "let's do what worked before" strategy toward developing and executing their marketing initiatives and campaigns. As the pressure to improve performance has increased and budgets have come under close scrutiny, organizations are now faced with finding new ways to make marketing activity more effective, efficient, and yield higher return.
