Measure your marketing ROI with a hands-on modelling experience

This course is now delivered online as a series of live sessions which fully meet the learning objectives of face-to-face training.

This course enables you to gain an understanding of the principles of econometric modelling and how this approach is used to calculate the ROI (return on investment) of marketing activities. The content provides a grounding in the key principles that are important whether you want to run models yourself or gain a better understanding of the process in order to be a more effective buyer of these services. It also provides hands-on experience in building basic models and enables you to become familiar with price elasticity calculation and pricing optimisation, as well as basic simulation approaches.

Learning outcomes
  • Understand whether econometric modelling is an appropriate solution to the research question
  • Critique a model or modelling approach effectively

Who will benefit

 Researchers who need to understand this area in more depth but feel daunted or frustrated by the complex ‘black box’ nature of modelling. Basic spreadsheet skills are an advantage, but the course assumes no prior knowledge of the topic.
