How Attribution Models Miss the Value of Customer Surveys

Episode notes

In this episode of Marketing Analytics with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into a blind spot most attribution models share: customer surveys. They explore how survey responses - like customer satisfaction scores, Net Promoter Scores, and post-purchase feedback - can reveal the true impact of marketing channels that last-touch and multi-touch models routinely undervalue. Using a concrete example of a software company whose survey data reshaped its media mix, they show how qualitative insights can validate or challenge quantitative attribution. They discuss practical ways to integrate survey data into marketing analytics, from weighting attribution to building feedback loops that improve both measurement and campaign performance. Along the way, they keep it grounded with real numbers and a genuine conversation about the limits of data-driven marketing. If you've ever wondered why your attribution dashboard disagrees with what your customers tell you, this episode offers a fresh perspective on closing that gap.
