Statistical models used by marketers to measure the effectiveness of their advertising spend have been around in various forms since the 1960s. The natural selection has favored regression analysis above other lifeforms, and not least because it’s somewhat easily grasped and implemented regardless of the company size or marketing environment. But as time goes by, older versions become obsolete and new, smarter ways of life ascend the food chain (as homo sapiens we ought to know).
