Overview

Marketing has become increasingly data-driven in recent years as a result of new emerging technologies such as AI, granular data availability and ever-growing analytics tools. With this trend only set to continue, it's vital for marketers today to be comfortable in their use of data and quantitative approaches and have a thorough grounding in understanding and using marketing analytics in order to gain insights, support strategic decision-making, solve marketing problems, maximise value and achieve success. Taking a very hands-on approach with the use of real-world datasets, case studies and R (a free statistical package), this book supports students and practitioners to explore a range of marketing phenomena using various applied analytics tools, with a balanced mix of technical coverage alongside marketing theory and frameworks. Chapters include learning objectives, figures, tables and questions to help facilitate learning. Also included online with the datasets are software codes and solutions (R Markdowns, HTML files) to use with the book, as well as PowerPoint slides, a teaching guide and a testbank for instructors teaching a marketing analytics course. This book is essential reading for advanced level marketing students and marketing practitioners who want to become cutting-edge marketers. Dr. Gokhan Yildirim is an Associate Professor of Marketing at Imperial College Business School, London. Dr. Raoul V. Kubler is an Associate Professor of Marketing at ESSEC Business School, Paris.

‘There are good books on marketing principles, on analytical models and on statistical software, but not on the combination of these three areas. This is where Applied Marketing Analytics Using R breaks new ground and offers exceptional value to the practice of marketing model building. The marketing decision areas are carefully selected, the modeling principles are well explained, and the case studies offer relevant applications of the R software modules. I recommend this book with enthusiasm!’   -- Dominique M. Hanssens

Hanssens ′Kubler and Yildirim manage to mix tried-and-true marketing models with recent advances in machine learning to offer a coherent, practical, and down-to-earth toolbox for data-driven marketers. A must-have for modern marketing managers.′ -- Arnaud De Bruyn ′This book brings a much-needed practical perspective to scientifically sophisticated marketing analytics. The authors Gokhan and Raoul truly represent the best of both worlds, being both accomplished marketing academics and practical data scientists. They start each chapter with a case study ranging from US banks to EU skincare, and UK airlines to Turkish kitchens and Finnish game developers. I love the natural flow of the book chapters, following the market orientation structure of segmentation, targeting, positioning and marketing mix modeling. At the same time, the authors demonstrate the value of adding the latest tools in attribution, online chatter and image mining. They explain every step both in the marketing strategy process and in the software installation and implementation. As to the latter, the R exercises give you hands-on experience in the latest in marketing analytics, which helps you optimize your decisions and shine in the marketplace.′ -- Koen Pauwels Applied Marketing Analytics using R is an exceptional resource for individuals eager to achieve business success and students seeking an extensive exploration of marketing analytics and R.

Overall, this book makes a significant contribution to the field and is highly recommended! -- Shuba Srinivasan
