How CMOs Measure Marketing ROI Without Guesswork

Episode notes

In this episode, we break down the specific mechanics of attribution modeling and why the last-click metric is actively destroying brand equity. Lucas and Luna explore how modern CMOs are shifting budget allocation toward first-touch and linear attribution to capture true customer journey value. We examine a case study from a major retail group that saw a twelve percent lift in lifetime value by reweighting their marketing spend away from bottom-funnel search ads. This conversation offers practical steps for finance leaders to understand why top-of-funnel awareness drives long-term profitability, moving beyond vanity metrics to hard economic returns. #MarketingROI #AttributionModeling #CMOStrategy #BrandEquity #CustomerJourney #FirstTouchAttribution #LastClickProblem #MarketingBudget #LTVCalculation #DigitalMarketing #BusinessGrowth #FinanceLeadership #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingAnalytics #ConsumerBehavior #AdSpendOptimization #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
