Digital Advertising Calculations Infographic

No matter how much we may want to avoid it, maths (or math to our American friends) is a big part of Digital advertising. In order to measure and optimise marketing we have to be comfortable with CPA, CPC, Conversion Rates and many more metrics and KPIs.
