The Five KPIs Every Campaign Review Needs

Focus stakeholder conversations on metrics that connect activity to outcomes.

Reviews fail when everything is “important”

Limit standing reviews to five KPIs that connect spend to outcomes: planned spend, actual spend, conversions, revenue or pipeline value, and ROI or cost per outcome.
