Added Jun 23, 2026
Return on ad spend is declining across major platforms while proving advertising ROI is becoming harder.
Analysis:
Marketing measurement and attribution platforms that use incrementality testing, media mix modeling, and causal inference could become essential infrastructure for every brand spending on digital advertising. The $200B+ digital ad market needs better measurement. Measured, Rockerbox, and similar companies are early but the market is massive.
