Welcome back to Modern Marketing and Measurement. In this episode, I’m joined by Rick Miller, Partner of Marketing Effectiveness at Big Chalk Analytics. We talk about a tough reality in modern media: billions in ad spend produce little to no measurable return. Rick explains where measurement often goes wrong, why “always-on” MMM isn’t always the answer, and how better data—from local signals to real performance metrics—can help marketers make smarter decisions before budgets are wasted.
