Today’s Insight
Shift from ROI to signals improves marketing exploration
Marketing leaders are often asked about ROI too early, sometimes before a campaign or initiative has real data or traction. Forcing ROI too soon tends to shrink ideas, making teams focus on proving safety instead of uncovering real potential. Early work is usually exploratory, with many unknowns — it is better to look for directional signals such as small changes in engagement, efficiency improvements, or customer behaviour shifts before modeling precise returns. Once those signals build confidence, only then should ROI become a planning tool. This sequence supports learning and reduces risk by grounding decisions in actual early evidence.
Key Takeaways
Asking for ROI prematurely constrains creativity and exploration.
Early signals provide directional evidence of value.
Small movements in customer behavior can justify further investment.
ROI becomes meaningful only after real signals emerge.
