About the team:

At StackAdapt, measurements are used to understand the impact and effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Currently, there are four types of measurement studies in the platform that include: 1PDA (1st Party Data Attribution), BLS (Brand Lift Study), ACR (Incremental Reach) and FTA (Footfall Attribution). Each of these measurements helps to evaluate specific details regarding the performance of advertising campaigns and provides insights regarding which adjustments could be made to achieve better results.
