You want an optimized performance marketing stack, we have the expert insight. In season 14 of Step-By-Step, we’ve partnered with Triple Whale and Meta to help you maximize RoAS with higher-quality data.

In this episode, you’ll learn why first-party data is critical in a privacy-conscious eCommerce ecosystem, how domain-specific AI can revolutionize eCommerce analytics, and what the shift from self-hosted IT organizations to cloud-based solutions means for your business.

Garbage In, Garbage OutKey takeaways:

• Triple Whale evolved from summary pages to cutting-edge tools like their Sonar integration with Meta Conversions API.
• Your data quality is key. Understanding where your marketing dollars are most effectively spent will unlock better RoAS.
• Feeding Meta better data through server-side connections transforms ad spend into ad gains.
• AI’s Promise and Paradox: Can we teach machines context? We debate whether AI can replicate the intuitive decision-making of a savvy e-commerce operator.
• Simplifying complex workflows might mean less visibility, but greater efficiency and creative freedom.
