FROM LAST-TOUCH TO INCREMENTALITY: ADOBE MARKETING’S MEASUREMENT TRANSFORMATION IN FOUR PARTS

Go behind the scenes on how Adobe marketing increased its contribution to subscription growth by 75% after moving beyond last-touch attribution and building a measurement system that truly reflected marketing’s impact. The journey? A bold, step-by-step transformation that aligned executives, united marketing and finance, restructured agency collaboration, and implemented a sophisticated, future-proof modeling solution.
In this session with Adobe's Director of Product Marketing, we’ll break down:

  • Why we abandoned last-touch attribution—and the executive alignment needed to make the shift
  • How we built a scalable measurement framework—from strategy workshops to implementation
  • The role of modeling and experimentation in overcoming data loss from cookies
  • Our strengthened agency relationship and processes —how consolidation and clear accountability improved measurement accuracy

If you’re struggling with measurement challenges in a privacy-first world, this session will provide practical, battle-tested guidance straight from Adobe’s playbook. Learn what worked, what didn’t, and how to apply these insights to your own organization.

MEASURING BRAND EQUITY: THE DATA BEHIND CONSUMER PERCEPTION

In today’s competitive CPG landscape, brand equity distinguishes category leaders from commodity products. This session examines two brands within the same category—Challenge Butter, a long-standing heritage brand, and Danish Creamery, a newer brand with recent investment and low awareness—and how a shared brand equity measurement model can provide tailored insights for different brand growth stages. 

Attendees will gain an understanding of the key metrics that define attitudinal brand equity and explore an empirical model for measuring and tracking brand perception over time. The session will also highlight how brand perceptions take time to grow, erode, or change and how customizable metrics and a flexible model structure allow this approach to be applied across different categories. Through real-world case studies, this session will provide marketers with a practical framework for protecting and strengthening brand equity as a critical business asset.

A VINTAGE APPROACH: MEASURING WHAT MATTERS

We spend a great deal of time and effort discussing measurement: audience measurement, cross platform media measurement, the difference between currency and measurement, attribution, various campaign KPIs, ROAS… it’s exhausting. Moreover, with the rising privacy concerns and the loss of identifiers, many of us are drowning in all the “workaround” solutions. The worst part? A lot of the discussions yield very little changes— we still see campaigns optimized on CTR, reported based on last touch attribution, and siloed reports that can never be reconciled.  
It’s time to refocus on the business growth, prioritize the efforts, and measure what matters.  
  • Don’t get distracted by vanity metrics: optimizing the wrong metrics can be costly 
  • Never trust someone grading their own homework— at least get someone else to check it 
  • Be aware of the trade-offs between immediate returns and brand growth (rethink ROAS) 
  • Structure the team so measurement and insights are working hand-in-hand as one instead of two separate divisions

FULL-FUNNEL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS AND LEVERAGING CASUAL AND DETERMINISTIC METHODS TO CAPTURE PERFORMANCE

In today’s complex media landscape, measuring the impact of full-funnel campaigns requires a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional approaches. This presentation explores how brands can leverage both causal inference methods and deterministic tracking to capture performance across the funnel—from brand awareness to business outcomes like sales. We will discuss the role of different attribution methods in quantifying impact across the funnel and leveraging a framework that makes decision-making easier. By integrating these methodologies, advertisers can achieve a more accurate and actionable view of media effectiveness, driving smarter investment decisions.
