There is a lot in this book that I wish I had known when I was building my first company. Marketing Analytics would have made a real difference as I built the marketing capabilities at Retail Relay.

--Arnie Katz, Former Chief Product and Technology Officer, StubHub; Founder, Retail Relay

Today's marketers do not utilize a 'one size fits all' approach to reach their customers; instead they rely on highly specific data models and results from test-and-learn experiments to market their products. Marketing Analytics provides the key analytical tools and techniques, and business case studies with real life scenarios to help marketing professionals make data-driven decisions. It is a 'must have' for anyone with a growth mindset.

--Sagar Joshi, Product Manager, M&T Bank
