Description:

Takeaways

  1. Innovation is a powerful force for growth, but it has limits. As start-ups mature, they need to increase marketing spend to maintain momentum.
  2. Not only to they need to spend more, but they need to spend differently, with a higher proportion of spend devoted to long term brand building.
  3. Short term attribution modelling becomes less reliable, and must be supplemented with other techniques such as econometrics and controlled tests.
