The COVID-19 Pandemic had unprecedented weight on marketers and advertisers globally, and the numbers served to portray that impact.

However, 9% of marketing jobs have been lost, leaving marketing departments to do more with fewer people.

In these times, Agile Measurement, or Agile Marketing Mix Modeling, is a highly promising tool that allows a shorter Marketing Mix Modeling project cycle, quicker turnaround with less resources allocated
