Marketing effectiveness refers to the measure of how successful a company’s marketing strategies are in reaching the intended audience and motivating them to take action. This concept gained significant attention in the 1990s, guided by Robert Shaw’s work, and has been a topic of critical importance in leading educational institutes such as Wharton and Harvard. A variety of factors, including the company’s size, budget, fire^[6] perception, and external factors like economic conditions and social trends^[4], influence marketing effectiveness. Technological advances and competitive dynamics also play a crucial role. Key elements of an effective marketing strategy^[3] include product positioning, consumer^[5] lifestyle alignment, and proper execution of marketing programs. The role of creative design in marketing and the choice of marketing channels also significantly affect marketing effectiveness. Constant evaluation and improvement of marketing management^[1] and the return on investment^[2] (ROI) are essential for maximizing marketing effectiveness.
