Last Click News keeps marketing and media professionals up to date in this changing area of’Last Click’, new methods used in the analysis and measurement of both online and offline media and areas of interest to those in the field of media buying.

Since the first days of online ad measurement, the ‘last click’ or the last customer engagement received full credit for the action. Years later, many studies have confirmed that consumers actions are influenced by ‘widespread overlapping advertising across multiple sites’ – yet the ‘last click’ still receives credit. Estimates are now that between 90 – 96% of online actions were the results of engagements other than the last ad seen. The end result – hundreds of millions of dollars are being wasted on marketing campaigns that do not end up with proper results. Last Click News is edited by David Castillo.
