Marketing Analytics with Fexingo · 2026-07-19 · 11 min
Episode 124 of Marketing Analytics with Fexingo tackles a blind spot most attribution models share: trade shows and live events. Lucas and Luna dig into a 2025 B2B case - a cybersecurity firm that spent $2 million on a single conference - and trace why its attribution dashboard showed almost zero conversions, even though the sales team closed $18 million in pipeline from those handshakes. They walk through the structural problems: badge-scan data not syncing with CRM, offline conversations never hitting a UTM, and the way last-touch models credit a demo email sent months later. Lucas proposes a cheap, practical fix - event-specific landing pages with human follow-up tracking - and Luna pushes back on whether that captures hallway conversations. The episode ends with a reminder that not every conversion starts with a click, and that the best attribution is often a sales rep asking 'where did you first hear about us?'.
