In this episode, we break down why B2B marketing attribution is broken and what you should actually be doing instead to measure what's working without losing your mind.

We cover:

→ Why multi-touch attribution keeps lying to you and what it's actually measuring

→ Why ad platforms are deliberately making attribution harder for us as marketers

→ How to blend quantitative and qualitative data to get a real picture of what's driving revenue

→ Why being data influenced beats being data driven every single time

If you are a B2B marketer or demand gen lead who's tired of attribution tools that promise clarity and just deliver more confusion.

Tune in and learn:

→ Why multi-touch attribution is click obsessed and built on disappearing data

→ How to layer in marketing mix modeling and incremental testing without drowning in complexity

→ Why qualitative signals like "how did you hear about us" are more valuable than most attribution tools

→ How to communicate attribution as a range, not a definitive number, to your leadership team

→ How to align sales, CS and finance on what attribution can and can't tell you
