Causal Inference 101

Causal inference in marketing

Campaign lift, incrementality, holdout tests, and uplift targeting for better spend allocation.

Marketing leaders care about incrementality: sales caused by the campaign, not baseline demand. Holdout groups and geo experiments are causal designs; observational lift models fill gaps when experiments are costly.

Uplift and HTE methods rank customers by expected incremental response so budgets avoid sure things and do-not-disturbs.
