The challenge
No clear insight into the true performance of the paid social channel

Throughout the organisation of this mid-size retailer, there was no clear insight into the true performance of the paid social channel. Different teams were looking at different metrics and certainly, between Google Analytics and Facebook, there was a huge discrepancy regarding the performance of the paid social channel.

“The paid social channel for this retailer is not being used to its fullest potential because there is not enough focus on upper-funnel content”

Marketing Funnel
Strategy & Approach
Tracking optimizations and more focus on upper-funnel content

Based on the Odyssey insights the first step was to make sure all tracking and tagging were set up correctly. Then, based on the up-to-date data in Odyssey an analysis of the performance of the paid social channel was made.

Based on the multi-touch attribution insights in Odyssey we had a clear insight into the performance of the paid social channel. The analysis resulted in the following conclusion:

“The paid social channel for this retailer is not being used to its fullest potential because there is not enough focus on upper-funnel content”

Based on these conclusions the retailer decided to change the paid social ad content and placement settings in order to focus more on upper-funnel content.

Results
Clear and honest data for everyone, and better results

After the data-gathering period, another analysis of the performance was done. Focusing more on upper-funnel content resulted in a higher incremental value of the paid social channel, because paid social was active at the beginning of the customer journey.

Besides that, throughout the organization, there was now more unity in looking at the right metrics. With Odyssey as an independent tool, everybody was looking at incrementality and attributed revenue as the main metrics to determine the performance of the paid social channel.
