DMPI: Informing Your Marketing—and Making It Make Sense to College Leadership

November 5, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ET

Tasked with finding a simpler method for explaining digital marketing performance for the College president and Board of Trustees, the Gettysburg College Communications and Marketing office developed a process for normalizing measurements of different KPIs. Through continued fine-tuning, the Digital Marketing Performance Index (DMPI) has become more sophisticated and more useful. The DMPI allows for the ability to compare any two similar time periods to determine whether efforts and expenditures have generated increased effectiveness and efficiencies. This presentation explains the math, how it has informed the work, how it’s presented to boards and leadership teams and how you can implement it on your own campus.
