Campaign Analytics
Campaign Analytics is the practice of measuring and analyzing how well advertising campaigns perform. It helps marketing teams understand if their ads are working and how to make them better. This includes tracking things like how many people saw an ad, clicked on it, or made a purchase afterward. Think of it as a report card for advertising efforts that helps companies know if they're spending their marketing money wisely. Similar terms you might see include Marketing Analytics, Performance Tracking, or Marketing Measurement.
