  • MAVAN featured graphic on a deep navy-to-black background answering the question "Which Marketing Spend Really Works?", with "Really Works" underlined in coral red. A sub-headline reads "The answer — triangulate three methods." Three white-outlined circles form a triangle around a glowing coral-red center hub labeled "The Spend That Really Works." The outer nodes read "Marketing Mix Modeling — the big picture," "Incrementality Tests — the proof," and "Attribution — daily signal," each connected to the center hub. A caption reads "Together they reveal what your spend truly caused — not just what got the credit," with the MAVAN logo in the lower-right. The graphic shows how combining marketing mix modeling, incrementality testing, and attribution reveals which marketing spend actually drives revenue.

  • Featured MAVAN graphic answering why creative is the biggest lever in user acquisition, on a deep navy-to-black background with red chevron accents. A bold white headline reads 'Creative Is the New Targeting,' with 'Targeting' underlined in coral red. At the center, a glowing coral-red video creative card with a play button connects by thin white lines to four white user-silhouette icons, illustrating that the ad itself routes to the right audience. A caption below reads 'The ad decides who sees it — so the asset is the campaign.' The coral-red MAVAN logo sits in the bottom-right corner.

  • Wide MAVAN featured graphic on a deep navy-to-black gradient with faint concentric circuit lines and coral red arrow accents on both sides. Headline: 'TWO QUESTIONS EVERY PUBLISHING ORG SHOULD ANSWER.' A portrait of a bearded man sits at left above the label 'Business Dev Insights From MAVAN President Dan Barnes.' Two outlined cards center the layout, joined by a coral plus sign: a lightbulb icon above 'WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?' labeled 'Hypothesis before action,' and a checkmark icon above 'DID IT WORK?' labeled 'Learning after action.' Below: 'Answer both — consistently and fast — everything else in your stack flows from them.' The coral MAVAN logo sits bottom-right.

    Two Growth Questions Publishing Orgs Should Be Able to Answer

    Every publishing organization should be able to answer two questions: 1) “Why are you doing this?” 2) “Did it work?” Answering both requires a unified data platform, creative-led distribution, configurable onboarding, organic and lifecycle systems built on a deep audience graph — and an organization wired to turn insight into action fast.
