1. Metrics that Matter: We measure against at least 3 Goals or Signals of Intent to Travel.
2. Agile Advertising: We test, review and continually refine campaigns based on analytics.
3. Market Performance: We track key market measures & match them to campaign activity
4. Competitive Intelligence: We track, review & benchmark our competitors’ actions.
5. Stakeholder Participation: We have a shared vision of “success” with all stakeholders
6. Workflow: We have established processes (& the resources) for who does what when.
7. Centralized Reporting: Our key reporting is accessible, clear & comparable in 1 location
