How Marketing Attribution Misses Audio Streaming Ads

Episode notes

Episode 128 of Marketing Analytics with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna tackle a blind spot in attribution: streaming audio ads on Spotify and Apple Music. Most marketers still use click-based tracking for a channel that has near-zero click-through rates. Lucas breaks down how Spotify's streaming ad insertion works, why last-click attribution assigns zero credit, and how brands like HelloFresh and Squarespace actually measure incrementality through promo codes and brand-lift studies. Luna pushes back on whether promo codes are truly a fair proxy for attribution. They explore media-mix modeling as an alternative and discuss why the audio channel suffers from systematic undervaluation. If you've ever wondered why your Spotify ad seems to vanish in the dashboard, this episode explains the structural gap. #MarketingAnalytics #Attribution #AudioAds #Spotify #AppleMusic #PodcastAdvertising #StreamingAds #MediaMixModeling #Incrementality #HelloFresh #Squarespace #PromoCodes #BrandLift #MarketingMeasurement #DigitalMarketing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Marketing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
