How do we move from measuring attention to measuring outcomes? That was one of the key questions explored at Foresight 2026, where Katie Atkinson, Head of Product at Havas Media Network, joined fellow industry leaders to discuss the economics of advertising, measurement frameworks and what it takes to connect marketing investment to genuine business growth. The conversation explored some of the biggest challenges facing marketers today, including balancing short-term performance with long-term growth, understanding the true impact of advertising beyond attribution models, and redefining how success is measured in an increasingly complex media landscape. These themes sit at the heart of a broader industry shift toward outcome-driven marketing and greater accountability for business results. Thank you to NewDigitalAge for bringing together such an insightful group of marketing leaders to share perspectives on the future of AI, measurement and effectiveness. Photo credit Bronac McNeill
