First in tag management – a fundamental piece of the attribution puzzleGrown and led the industry – winning awards150+ clients globallyetc
1. Lots of pages / web properties / brands 2. Lots of partners, which means lots of campaigns3. Lots of data AND isolated by campaign, partner, internal and external views4. Many rewarding commission based on last click (double paying and wasting money) – disproportionate amount of attention to channels/campaigns delivering ‘last click’
Add in stat around data overload – do Which leads to data overload and lack of confidence in marketing investmentMarketers:Are concerned about spending budget wiselyAre commonly blinded by conversions (eg. investing in PPC because it delivers conversions, but don’t take into account the full path a customer takes to sale because they don’t have visibility)
Everyone has an attribution model already – whether it’s last click, best click, flat, linear. It’s important to start from the beginning and understand the fully journey each of your customers take to sale. You can then see each event in the path and how each channel is influencing your customers

Boden – apparel retailer. Started out as catalogue only – today 75% of sales done through webSimilar situation – battling unsuccessfully to reward credit and sales commissions more fairly across all online channelsNo visibility into roles that online channels pay in the path to conversion (including SEO and Direct to Site)
Single view of Cust – Informed view of impact of online display and exactly what search terms are contained within the paths to conversionActionable Insight – Optimise paid search campaigns (generic search in path / branded terms most often deliver last click)Instant Savings through CPA Deduplication – email strong to existing customers and play little part in buying decision.

Quips from other clients: VAA, Glasses Direct, AnecdotesAllison Wightman, head of marketing systems, Virgin Atlantic Airways “The complete view of all the channels that played a part in a sale that TagMan provides is fantastic and, on deduplication alone, delivers an ROI of 41:1
1: Make sure you have clean data
2: Analyse your data to gain actionable insight.TagMan offers one online marketing dataset that can integrated into site analytics to give the advertiser off- and on-site data in one place, AND/OR into bigger data platforms to join online media reporting with offline, demographic and macro data.
3: Attribute, but don’t stop there. Continue testing and updating. Attribution isn’t a one time thing.
