Marketing Equity & ROI:

• Total Marketing Equity = SUM(All Assets Remaining Value) - SUM(All Liabilities)
• ROI (%) = [(Revenue Attributed to Marketing – Total Marketing Investment) / Total Marketing Investment] * 100
• Formula for ROI: =((J2-SUM(MarketingAssets[Cost]))/SUM(MarketingAssets[Cost]))*100
• Uses data from Campaign Tracker for attributed revenue.

Formulas Required

• =SUMIF(MarketingAssets[Asset Type], “Digital Ads”, MarketingAssets[Remaining Value]) – Aggregates asset value by type.
• =DATEDIF(TODAY(), E2, "d") – Calculates days until liability due date.
• =IF(H2<0, 0, H2) – Ensures remaining asset value never goes negative.
• PivotTables across sheets to auto-summarize by campaign, channel, or quarter.

Conditional Formatting

• Overdue Liabilities: Red background if Due Date < TODAY()
• Low ROI Campaigns: Yellow fill if ROI < 10%
