Early stage program metrics such as email open rates and Facebook likes are great, but don't give you the full picture. At Marketo, our Advanced Report Builder enables us to dig deeper to discover how and which programs make the most impact on our revenue goals. See the slides to see the metrics Marketo uses to back its own program budget.

Editor's Notes
What do I measure? When do I measure? How do I connect
Marketing Impact – touch on attribution
Let’s talk about two popular ways to measure marketing influenced pipeline or revenue.
Two different ways of attributing revenue back to marketing programs and they tell you different things.
When you roll this up at a channel level
Here is a real example of how we would analyze data using the early stage report.
In this example over half of all channels are bringing in new names at our target cost per new name. However, only two of the channels are bringing in those new names as effectively as possible. By looking at % new names, you can start to figure out which channels you might be over-using or saturating.
Example (for each channel):
Content Syndication –
Previous Data:
Average Cost per target = $28 (TOFU)
Average FT Ratio = 6 (MOFU)
Expected Data:
TOFU - $72,000 ($ to spend on CS, channel) / $28 (average CPT) = 2,571 targets
MOFU – 6 (FT Ratio) x $72,000 = $432,000 (expected FT pipeline generated)
