Why smart marketers should keep measurement simple

New dashboards, fancy metrics, endless measurement tools – marketing has never been noisier. Paul Sinkinson, APAC managing director at Analytic Partners, explains why the smartest marketers stick to strategy first and let measurement serve, not distract, their decisions.
