So heißt es im Artikel des Handelsblatt vom 04.01.2011:

Eigentlich zählt das Internet zu den messbarsten Medien. Jetzt muss nur noch herausgefunden werden, wie man es messen kann.
Kein neues Thema aber immer aktuell: Hinter dem schnellen Wachstum des Online Marketings verbirgt sich ein ernstzunehmendes Problem: Es hat sich schneller entwickelt, als seine Tools und kann dem Versprechen des messbarsten und zielgerichtetsten Medium kaum gerecht werden.
Im Juni 2008 hat McKinsey eine Umfrage unter 340 Führungskräften weltweit durchgeführt und kam zu dem Ergebnis, dass sich eine gewaltige Lücke zwischen den vorhandenen und benötigten Möglichkeiten auftut. Dieser Umstand hat die ungenaue Identifizierung …
