A multi-channel marketing approach means reaching your audience across more than one touchpoint, paid, organic, email, social, and beyond, with a consistent message and a deliberate plan for how each channel contributes to growth. Done well, it compounds. Done badly, it just multiplies your costs. Most brands claim to do multi-channel marketing. Far fewer actually…
U.S. news organizations are rethinking how they grow audiences in 2024, and the strategies look nothing like the playbooks that worked a decade ago. Display advertising revenue has compressed, social referral traffic has become unreliable, and the organizations that are growing are doing so by treating audience development as a product and commercial problem, not…
Attribution models are frameworks that assign credit for a conversion across the marketing touchpoints a customer encountered before converting. The model you choose determines which channels look effective, which get defunded, and, in many cases, which version of reality your business is making decisions from. There are six common attribution models in widespread use: first-touch,…
The best marketing campaigns of 2024 shared a common thread: they were built around a clear commercial problem, not a creative brief. From Spotify’s culturally sharp activations to Dove’s continued investment in brand trust, the work that cut through in 2024 did so because it was grounded in something real, not because it was loud….
Benchmark branding is the practice of measuring your brand’s position, perception, and performance against a defined competitive set, then using that data to sharpen positioning decisions over time. Done well, it tells you not just where you stand, but whether the ground you’re standing on is worth fighting for. Most brands skip this step entirely,…
Marketing mix modeling (MMM) has moved from a tool used by a handful of large consumer goods companies to something most serious marketing teams are actively evaluating or rebuilding. The shift is being driven by the collapse of reliable cookie-based attribution, growing pressure to justify spend across channels, and the arrival of faster, more accessible…
A partnership campaign is a coordinated marketing effort between two or more organisations, built around a shared audience, a shared message, and a shared commercial goal. Done well, it reduces acquisition costs, opens doors to audiences you cannot reach alone, and creates the kind of brand association that paid media cannot manufacture. Done badly, it…
Marlboro Man advertising is one of the most studied brand-building campaigns in marketing history, not because it was clever, but because it worked on a scale that most marketers never see. It transformed a cigarette brand with less than 1% market share into the best-selling cigarette in the world within a few years of launch,…
An algorithmic attribution model uses machine learning to assign conversion credit across touchpoints based on observed patterns in your data, rather than applying a fixed rule like last click or linear. Instead of splitting credit evenly or giving it all to the final interaction, the model calculates how much each channel, campaign, or ad contributed…
A partnership marketing example worth studying is one where both businesses grew, not just one. The best real-world cases share a common structure: complementary audiences, aligned incentives, and a commercial outcome that neither party could have reached alone. They are rarely glamorous. They are almost always deliberate. Most of what gets written about brand partnerships…
