In this session, we dive into the world of **Lift Studies**, also known as incrementality testing. Building on our understanding of Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) and Unified Marketing Measurement (UMM), you will learn how to go beyond correlation to measure the true *causal* impact of your marketing campaigns. We will explore the fundamental principles of setting up a controlled experiment with test and control groups, discover how to calculate incremental lift, and understand why this method is crucial for identifying conversions that would not have happened otherwise. This episode will equip you with the knowledge to prove the real value your advertising delivers and make more informed budget decisions.

Building on our understanding of MMM, UMM, and lift studies, this episode delves into Geographic Experiments. You will learn how marketers measure the impact of broad, non-digital channels like television or radio, where individual-level targeting isn't possible. We will explore the entire process, from selecting and matching geographic markets to create test and control groups, to executing the campaign and calculating the true incremental lift. This episode will equip you with the knowledge to understand one of the most robust methods for establishing causality in marketing, and how its results can be integrated into a Unified Marketing Measurement framework to make other models, like MMM, more accurate.
