The A+ Matrix shows how to maximize advertising savings through Audit.
Key drivers are: Type of Insight and Level of Detail.
Insight ranges from pure audit to the added value of cost and benefit analysis.
Level of Detail may vary from the whole company cost, to each single campaign.
Highest saving comes from cost-benefit analysis carried out on campaign basis.
