Although a brand can be seen, mentioned, searched etc., it does not establish any significant value to the organisation’s bottom line or perform any business impact. The conversation around marketing measurement and communications is also evolving from ‘how many people saw us?’ To a more relevant question of ‘did we create influence/trust/business value?’ through our presence?

From understanding where app installs come from to measuring campaign performance and detecting fraudulent activity, businesses rely on data to make smarter marketing investments. Every click, impression, install, registration, and purchase contributes to a larger picture that helps marketers understand user behavior and improve results. However, not all data is created equal.
