Beyond ROI: From the Art of Marketing to the Science of Growth through AIMM 2.0 — Intelligence, Interpretability, Integration, and Impact for Economic Resilience

Marketing has long been both an art and a science, connecting firms with consumers and shaping competitive advantage. Yet measurement practices remain overly dependent on financial outputs such as Return on Investment (ROI), emphasizing short-term gains while overlooking marketing’s strategic and societal value. In an era defined by artificial intelligence, digital acceleration, and economic volatility, such traditional metrics no longer capture marketing’s full impact. This paper introduces the AI-Integrated Marketing Measurement Model (AIMM 2.0)—an adaptive, AI-driven framework that redefines marketing effectiveness. AIMM 2.0 integrates Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM), Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA), and Incrementality Testing (IT) within a continuous, intelligent learning system. Guided by the Four “I” Principles—Intelligence, Interpretability, Integration, and Impact, the model positions marketing measurement as a strategic capability that evolves with data, technology, and managerial insight. By bridging creative strategy with advanced analytics, AIMM 2.0 transforms marketing from the art of persuasion into the science of sustainable growth. It quantifies marketing’s contribution beyond short-term sales, linking analytical insights to business performance, innovation diffusion, and national economic resilience. AIMM 2.0 thus marks a paradigm shift—elevating marketing measurement from a retrospective financial tool to a forward-looking system of adaptive intelligence and strategic growth.
