Episode notes

Episode 100 of Marketing Analytics with Fexingo dives into the messy reality of marketing attribution - and why even the most sophisticated models still get the basics wrong. Lucas and Luna unpack the 'last-click fallacy' that persists across industries, spotlighting how a major consumer brand's data revealed that 40% of conversions were misattributed to the wrong touchpoint. They explore the core tension between multi-touch models and real-world customer journeys, using the example of a home-goods retailer whose email campaigns were stealing credit from search ads. Along the way, they discuss how incrementality testing can reveal hidden over-attribution, and why the smartest marketers are now blending attribution outputs with controlled experiments. For longtime listeners, this episode ties together threads from earlier shows on view-through inflation, recency bias, and control groups. Perfect for anyone tired of attribution dashboards that look great but mislead.
