What is people based measurement

It's time for a new marketing strategy: people-based measurement

People browse and buy across devices, browsers, platforms and channels. To get an accurate picture of their paths to purchase, you need to measure their engagement across every touch point, from beginning to end.

This is known as people-based measurement—it helps you understand the big picture of people's purchase journeys, rather than measuring the performance of a single ad or touchpoint. Measuring real people's behavior provides new insights that help you optimize performance, exceed KPIs and maximize your marketing ROI.

What can you do with people-based measurement?

  • Connect the dots across all marketing touchpoints
  • Use attribution to understand people's paths to conversion
  • Improve your targeting
  • Grow your ROI
  • Optimize your campaigns
  • Test your ads in real time
