The future? No, statistical analysis was always at the core of advertising, from the moment statistics was invented.
It's only recently in the last few years that people forgot this, and only because techies and programmers without statistics knowledge successfully "disrupted" the advertising industry.
But internet advertising sucks balls compared to classical advertising forms, especially from the point of view of ROI to the client.
So we will eventually "undisrupt" this mess and make internet advertising more like the classical forms.

- shostack 5y agoFair point about statistical analysis. My comment was more that the tools and data to provide that visibility are starting to trickle down to smaller companies, sort of like how GA did it for web analytics. For better or worse. Disagree on traditional vs digital though. It is totally circumstantial which performs better.
