In this episode, Ted and Jeff Greenfield discuss:

• Why traditional click-based attribution models no longer reflect real-world, multi-touch buyer journeys
• The shift from user-level tracking to impression-based, privacy-first measurement
• How CTV, OTT, YouTube, podcasts, and other upper‑funnel channels actually drive leads and sales
• The old “spiked attribution” method for linear TV—and why it fails in today’s streaming-first, on-demand environment
• Building a single source of truth for marketing performance that aligns marketing, finance, and channel teams

Key Takeaways:

• Google Analytics is strong at tracking on-site behavior, but it struggles to measure awareness-driven channels like CTV, streaming, YouTube, and podcasts.
• As privacy changes remove user-level tracking, marketers need to zoom out and focus on impressions and attention—not just clicks.
• Multi-touch attribution shows branded search often serves as navigation, not true demand creation, shifting more credit to upper-funnel channels.
• Firms relying on last-click data tend to overspend on paid search while underinvesting in channels that drive long-term growth.
• A single source of truth for performance enables smarter budget allocation, clearer ROI, and stronger buy-in from finance.

“At the end of the day, when you're investing dollars in marketing, what you're doing is you're not buying clicks — you're buying eyeballs, you're buying attention.” — Jeff Greenfield
