Marketing Budget Cuts Force Agencies to Prove Their Worth Overnight

Many agencies are now being asked to demonstrate ROI on every campaign within 30 days or face automatic budget reductions. I've watched junior marketers scramble to pull data from legacy systems while senior leaders demand immediate answers on brand lift metrics that took months to build. How are other marketing heads handling this sudden shift where every dollar spent needs to show measurable impact before the next quarterly review?
