Why is lead attribution important?
#nychug
Lead attribution provides the ability to relate
marketing campaigns and channels to specific
business results.
The primary goal of lead attribution is to KNOW what
campaigns and channels are working so that you can
maximize your marketing investment.
50% of B2B marketing executives find
it difficult to attribute marketing
activity directly to revenue results as
a means to justify budgets.

Without Lead Attribution
Quotes from some of our clients
“The data was all different and disconnected”
“Sometimes we couldn’t tell what it truly meant”
“No true source, analytics were everywhere, Twitter vs Facebook vs
Linkedin vs Salesforce vs Google Analytics vs HubSpot”
“There was engagement but we had no idea what that means or why
it mattered”
13
With Lead Attribution
After Lead Attribution
New reporting will show effective channels that also tie to
messaging and topics
May be topical information useful to research team, like experiments
Can support market research team’s market assessments, segment
analysis
Can support marketing team’s audience selection and messaging
Provides insight to marketing team as well as other teams and
senior leadership to show what is working and what is not
81% of marketers would increase
spending on digital, mobile, and
social channels if they could better
track ROI.
