Marketing & Business Alignment

Marketing performance breaks down when metrics, incentives, and business realities drift out of alignment. When teams optimize channels instead of outcomes, reporting looks healthy while the business quietly underperforms.

What This Covers

  • Why marketing metrics often stop serving real decisions

  • How incentives shape optimization behavior (for better or worse)

  • Where forecasting, budgeting, and reporting typically disconnect

  • How to align marketing activity with actual business constraints
