Predicting the optimal advertising spend for ROI is a long-running marketing dilemma. With budgets tight and executive teams demanding results, marketers must be able to predict how marketing investments will drive campaign success. A recent study by AlixPartners found that of the $60 billion spent by global consumer product advertisers on digital ads, more than half had either a negative return or the ROI was not even measured. Gartner research predicts advances in automated marketing systems will help marketers extend the reach of multichannel campaigns to increase response rates by 25% over the next four years.

Recent acquisitions in the data analytics space Datorama and Tableau by Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), Looker by Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), and Origami Logic by Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU) signal the hunger for technologies that can draw intelligence from massive sets of data. But competing solutions can be expensive, require extensive support for deployment, and don't make the best use of the available data, said Babak Hedayati, CEO, TapClicks. TapClicks is on a mission to make the results of marketing investments easier to predict through the integration of artificial intelligence into an easy-to-use, simple-to-deploy solution.
