Description

Advertising needs more than good creative; it needs solid measurement. Oresti Patricios, CEO of Ornico, has spent over 40 years tracking how advertising, marketing and PR drive business growth.

“The basics haven’t changed,” he says. “Marketing still exists to grow business, but measurement tells you if it’s working.” He warns against the short-term vs long-term debate: “It’s not either/or. Brand building takes time, but tactical work drives sales. You need both.”

He also points out that “vanity metrics are a non-trend.” For marketers to retain credibility and budgets, they must link their efforts to real business outcomes.

Conversation highlights

  • The CFO’s influence on marketing accountability
  • How programmatic buying changed advertising
  • Why long-term brand building still matters

Produced in collaboration with our partners, Soweto Media.
