"The subtitle of Grigsby's book summarises the bottom line: his book is practical, and it is the real dealWith so many ebooks, articles, webinars and conferences talks - purporting to provide insights on this topic, but instead producing more noise or even misinformation - 'Marketing Analytics' offers true insights. Grigsby, a practitioner, academic and thought leader, provides both the foundational constructs for people who are just beginning to explore the topic of marketing analytics and more sophisticated approaches for experts and advanced practitioners." -- Seth Earley, CEO, Earley Information Science * Applied Marketing Analytics *

"In his book Marketing Analytics, Mike Grigsby takes passionate marketing strategists on a practical, real-life journey for solving common marketing challenges. By combining the concepts and knowledge areas of statistics, marketing strategy and consumer behaviour, Mike recommends scientific and innovative solutions to common marketing problems in the current business environment. Every chapter is an interesting journey for the reader. What I like most about the book is its simplicity and how it applies to real work-related situations in which almost all of us have been involved while practising marketing of any sort. I also like how Mike talks about tangible measurements of strategic recommended marketing solutions as well as how they add value to companies' strategic endeavours. I highly recommend reading this book as it adds a completely new dimension to marketing science." * Kristina Domazetoska, Project Manager and Implementation Consultant, Insala *

"This is an excellent read for people in the industry who work in strategy and marketing. This is one of the first books that I have read that covers the entire spectrum from demand, segmentation, targeting, and how results can be calculated. In an age where marketing is becoming more and more sophisticated, this book provides the tools and the mathematics behind the facts. Marketing Analytics is written with a scientific voice, but was very readable, with the science wrapped into everyday activities, based on a character we can all relate to, that are derived from these formulas, ultimately driving ROI." * Elizabeth Johnson, VP, Shopper Marketing-Digital Solutions Retailigence *
