5.0 out of 5 stars Every marketing professional should buy this book, October 4, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Marketing Metrics: The Definitive Guide to Measuring Marketing Performance (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
I'm a career marketing executive with 13 years of experience currently working as a Director of Marketing and Analytics for a VC-backed firm. This book is invaluable to me at our firm as we take a deep dive into our own data and attempt to build custom metrics and KPIs. This book provides insightful frameworks into how intelligent metrics are mathematically constructed, along with discussing their assumptions and limitations.

The writing is succinct, and the organization of this book appeals to one's intelligence and time. You don't have to read this book cover to cover! The table of contents in such a wonderful and simple fashion breaks down the book into the major subcategories of Marketing, such as Product and Portfolio Development. Each chapter first outlines and summaries major relevant metrics, and then discusses each in detail complete with theorems, assumptions, considerations, and weaknesses.

Every intelligent, ambitious, and professional executive must own this book. It gives you a rare balance of academic and practical rigor. If you don't see metrics that can help your business, then you can borrow its notions into how some of the most influential KPIs are constructed and then use those frameworks to exploit your own intelligence issues.

This is a great reference book, and it has a special place on my bookshelf at work. You don't have to be an academic to understand this book. If you are patient with this book, you will see what a gem this is. 5 stars.

Disclosure: I am neither a student, nor do I know any of the authors of this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good compendium of marketing metrics, January 22, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Marketing Metrics: The Definitive Guide to Measuring Marketing Performance (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
The book is both an overview and a detailed discussion of every marketing metric you'd ever want to know.

I had studied some of the concepts in a business school course and throughout reading various literature, however it's nice to have the information all in one spot like a handy reference.

Unfortunately the metrics don't apply well to new media - for instance there is only one metric for social networking.

Probably a good follow on to this book would be the impact on smart phone apps, social networking, etc. etc. and relevant marking metrics.

I gave it four stars because I think it's an excellent compendium but I wouldn't say the earth moved for me as a result of reading it.
