Definition
What is marketing budget allocation?
Marketing budget allocation is the discipline of splitting available budget across channels, geographies, and stages of the funnel. Allocation drives more variance in outcomes than tactical execution: a well-allocated mediocre execution beats a poorly-allocated brilliant one.
