Performance Marketing Primer
Ground yourself in performance marketing fundamentals before tackling digital advertising or marketing analytics tasks. Covers universal concepts that apply across platforms: core metrics (CAC, LTV, ROAS, CPA, CTR, CPC, CPM), attribution models and their limitations, campaign structure and optimization principles, audience targeting approaches (demographic, psychographic, behavioral, lookalike, retargeting), budget allocation frameworks, and statistical testing methodology. Includes practical guidance on measuring what matters, avoiding vanity metrics, understanding attribution biases, and systematic optimization approaches. Emphasizes measurement mindset: perfect attribution is impossible, but consistent methodology enables trend tracking and directional signals. Performance marketing is fundamentally about testing, learning, and reallocating budget to winners. For sales pipeline mechanics connected to attribution, reference the sales primer. For budget allocation and financial planning, reference the corporate finance primer.
