Most Marketing Attribution Models Are Lying to You
"Your last-click attribution is probably crediting the wrong channel for your best conversions. And your budget decisions are suffering because of it."

"Every year there's a shiny new tactic that half of LinkedIn swears will change everything. Most of them don't. What's yours?"

Why I Stopped Reporting on MQLs and What I Track Instead
"MQLs kept going up. Revenue didn't follow. Something had to change."
