Think of this as a very smart scorekeeper for your marketing spend. Instead of guessing which ads, channels, and campaigns are working, AI sifts through all the messy data and tells you which dollars are actually driving sales – and which ones you can safely cut.
Traditional marketing measurement (last‑click, simple attribution, basic media mix models) breaks down in a world of many channels, walled gardens, and privacy limits. AI‑driven measurement helps marketers understand true incremental impact of each channel and campaign so they can reallocate budget with confidence.
Proprietary multi‑year marketing performance data, baked‑in experimentation frameworks, and tight integration into marketers’ planning and activation workflows can create a defensible moat; generic AI alone is not a moat here.

Data quality and availability across channels (walled gardens, identity loss, tracking prevention) are more limiting than raw compute; model performance is gated by how well spend, impression, and outcome data can be joined and de‑noised.

Differentiation usually comes from combining AI/ML with rigorous experimentation (geo‑lift, holdouts), custom models per advertiser, and transparent methodology rather than black‑box ‘AI does it all’ claims.
