What is Marketing Analytics? 

Marketing analytics refers to software run by marketing teams that analyzes big data to identify changes in metrics over time, and surfaces the contributing factors to that change, in order to improve the decisions marketers make.

Breaking Down the Four Types of Analytics

Descriptive Analytics – Answers the question: What is happening?

Diagnostic Analytics – Answers the question: Why is it happening?

Predictive Analytics – Answers the question: What might happen in the future?

Prescriptive Analytics – Answers the question: How do we take action?

The Traditional Analytics Process vs. The New Analytics Process

The guide to Demystifying Analytics for Marketers explores the traditional analytics process and introduces a new analytics process aimed at automating the prep and analysis of data in order to give marketers more control over their analytics. 

Getting Better Insights

The key to getting better insights lies in your ability to answer three questions about your analytics:

  1. What is Happening?
  2. Why is it Happening?
  3. How Can we Change it?

Most people have an easy time answering the first question “what is happening”. Your metrics can easily show if your conversion rate is down, if your clickthrough rates are improving, or if your organic traffic is growing. But this is what we call the “tip of the iceberg” because knowing “what” is going on is a lot easier to see than “why” or “how”.
