Enhance your measurement strategy with e-CENS
e-CENS enhances your measurement strategy for a better understanding of your goals and KPIs. With better measurement, you can make smarter and more efficient marketing decisions.
What is measurement strategy?
Every project at e-CENS begins with examining your company’s measurement strategy. Your measurement strategy is foundational to everything we do —whether it’s a GA4 migration, a Customer Data Platform implementation, or a Digital Transformation project.
While some companies come to us with their business initiatives, KPIs, and key segments already mapped out, others look to us for strategic guidance. Our approach ensures that what matters gets measured and that measurement aligns with your business needs.
How we approach measurement strategy:
Discovery & Requirements
During Discovery, e-CENS works with your stakeholders to gather the business requirements that are key to the project. This may take the form of video calls, Google Forms, and emails. You will also share your KPIs, business/marketing initiatives, objectives, and key segments at this time. You’ll also share your goals for the project – e.g.. “Better visibility into my website performance” or “A unified data collection strategy across all my marketing data sources”.
Discovery looks different for every type of project we work on (Web Analytics, Digital Transformation, Personalization, etc.), but the goal is always the same: beginning the project with a solid understanding of your business requirements.
2. Measurement Framework
After Discovery, e-CENS collates all requirements into a comprehensive Measurement Framework document. This document covers our understanding of the business requirements and how we plan to address them in the implementation stage of work.
Client Sign-Off
Client sign-off is crucial prior to any implementation work. Aligning early and often increases efficiency throughout the project.

Imagine you’re running two marketing campaigns: Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ads and email marketing. A measurement strategy would track the ROI of each campaign.

This data-driven approach ensures you’re getting the most out of your marketing budget and maximizing your return on investment.
