Solution:

  • All that matters is that the company surpassed its sales goal. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing, because it’s working really well.
  • Realize the customer journey can be very long and complex, and put together a proposal to incorporate data-driven attribution.
  • Remind your company that what you should be measuring is transactions, not customer behavior. The only touchpoint that matters is the last click.
  • Assume the data is correct and advise your company to invest in the channels that are clearly performing best and reduce mobile investment.
