Attribution Intelligence

A UK pet-food subscription brand replaced last-click assumptions with a cross-validated channel attribution engine.

A UK-based direct-to-consumer raw pet-food subscription brand lacked visibility into how its marketing channels performed. Innovatics built a channel attribution dashboard using seven unified customer-journey tables and four attribution models across the full funnel, revealing LTV:CAC by channel and replacing last-click assumptions with cross-validated evidence.

Outcomes

Proof, Not a Promise

The dashboard replaced channel assumptions with measurable evidence — tying every budget decision to long-term customer profitability rather than last-click guesswork.

Attribution models cross-validated — First Touch, Last Touch, Markov, and Shapley — turning attribution from internal debate into a validated decision framework
7
Unified customer-journey tables — purchase, engagement, channel, geography, device, attribution, and coupon data — a single source of truth across the full journey

LTV:CAC visibility across TOFU, MOFU, and BOFU — revealing which channels create the highest-value customers and redirecting spend toward profitable growth

The Challenge

What blocked confident budget decisions.

Three challenges blocked confident budget decisions.

  • Channel measurement was inconsistent — each single-touch attribution model credited different channels, making performance comparisons unreliable.
  • The customer journey view was incomplete — the team couldn't track the path from first interaction to registered member, hiding conversion drop-offs along the way.
  • Profitability signals were unclear — shifting engagement patterns month-to-month made it hard to identify which channels consistently delivered the highest-value customers.

Without a durable, cross-validated way to measure channel influence, growth decisions rested on last-click instinct rather than evidence.

Our Solution

What we built.

Innovatics built a channel attribution solution inside the client's existing data and BI environment.

  • A unified customer-journey data model — purchase, engagement, channel, geography, device, attribution, and coupon data transformed into seven connected tables tracking the path from first interaction through conversion.
  • Four attribution models running side by side — First Touch, Last Touch, Markov, and Shapley — eliminating dependence on any single method and validating channel influence across consistent signals.
  • Decision-ready dashboard views spanning an executive overview, TOFU / MOFU / BOFU analysis, LTV:CAC channel profitability, attribution validation against coupon tracking, and flexible filters.

The dashboard in action

Assumptions replaced with measurable evidence.

The dashboard replaced channel assumptions with measurable evidence.

  • Marketing leaders can see which channels influence acquisition, conversion, and customer value across the entire funnel — not just which channels generated the last click.
  • Because performance is validated across four attribution models, budget decisions rest on consistent signals that hold up to scrutiny rather than competing channel claims.
  • LTV:CAC analysis by channel ties investment to long-term customer profitability instead of short-term conversion volume.
  • Filters for channel, geography, device, page, month, attribution model, and lookback window let the team investigate performance from any angle.

The deeper return

Innovatics turned fragmented marketing data into a cross-validated attribution engine that moves every budget dollar toward the channels creating the highest-value customers.
