For 9-figure ecommerce brands, understanding true omnichannel ad performance amidst privacy changes and walled gardens is critical for scaling. This episode provides a mini-masterclass on universal attribution, breaking down how to accurately measure marketing impact across diverse channels and leverage that data to optimize spend and drive new customer acquisition, moving beyond the limitations of last-click attribution.
