Identify Wasted Marketing Budget to Improve ROI

By Chloe Henderson 28 January, 2021

Now more than ever, the pressure is on for marketers to account for every penny put towards their marketing activity while simultaneously driving demonstrable results. This is made harder by the fact they’re forced to rely on inaccurate attribution solutions that systematically fail to reflect the true value of channel investments.

By using low-quality clickstream data that doesn’t reflect the true customer journey and outdated attribution models like last-click, traditional platforms like GA360 and Adobe Analytics are presenting inaccurate results. These results can have a staggering 80% data inaccuracy.

And it’s with this data that marketers are forced to justify important decisions around budget and spend.

Most marketers are aware of the problem. In fact, in a survey conducted in 2019 we found that 61.5% of marketing professionals believe that strategic changes informed by attribution data generally fail. 61% said they felt constrained by their current attribution solution, and 69% agreed that last-click attribution is a “terrible over-simplification” of their marketing activity range.

So why are they still relying on these platforms?

Without the data to prove any financial value, marketers are struggling to justify the need to move to a new attribution solution. While we may all KNOW that existing platforms inhibit ROI, this knowledge isn’t enough to sway CFOs who rely on hard stats and figures for decision-making.

Unfortunately, those figures have never been readily available – until now.
