Meaningful Marketing Insights

In this module, students will be introduced to the instructor, Dr. David Schweidel and get and overview of the course.

Modules 2 and 3 focus on identifying appropriate descriptive statistics (measures of central tendency and dispersion) for different types of data, as well as recoding data using reference commands to prepare it for analysis. Additionally, you will manipulate and summarize data using pivot tables in Excel, produce visualizations that are appropriate based on the type of data being analyzed, and interpret statistics and visualizations to draw conclusions to address relevant marketing questions.

In this module, you will be asked to determine the appropriate type of regression for different types of marketing data and will perform regression analysis to assess the impact of marketing actions on outcomes of interest, such as sales, traffic, and brand choices. You will also be asked to interpret regression output to understand overall model performance and importance of different predictors, as well as make predictions using the appropriate regression model.

This final module will connect the results of regression analysis to marketing decisions. You will learn to build tools that allow users to evaluate outcomes based on different marketing decisions, as well as characterize the extent of uncertainty in outcomes based on the selected marketing decisions.
