The discipline

Numbers your CFO trusts.

Every optimisation decision is only as good as the data behind it. We stand up measurement first - clean, server-side, and reconciled to finance - so the whole engine is steering by a number everyone believes.

Channel ROAS is a diagnostic, not a destination. We build the instrumentation, attribution and reporting that reconciles to contribution margin and payback - the numbers the business actually runs on.

Analytics & Reporting at Pulse Digital
What's included

The scope of work.

A complete measurement operating system - from tagging to forecasting - that every other discipline optimises against.
01

Server-Side Tagging

Resilient, privacy-durable tracking via server-side GTM - recapturing the signal browser restrictions take away.

02

Attribution Modelling

Multi-touch and data-driven attribution that credits channels fairly - so budget follows real contribution, not last click.

03

MMM-Lite

Lightweight marketing mix modelling and incrementality testing to validate channel impact above the platform's own story.

04

Dashboarding

Live dashboards built around contribution margin and payback - one source of truth for the team and the board.

05

Data Warehouse

A warehouse that unifies media, site, and finance data - the foundation for analysis platforms can't give you.

06

Forecasting

Spend and revenue forecasting that turns reporting into planning - so the next quarter is a decision, not a guess.

How we run it

A repeatable operating loop.

The same four-stage loop runs every engagement - audit the tracking, instrument it properly, model the truth, then report on a cadence.
01

Tracking Audit

We map every tag, event, and data source against reality - exposing the gaps and double-counts that are quietly distorting decisions.
02

Instrumentation

We rebuild tracking server-side, stand up the warehouse, and wire media to finance - so the data is clean, durable, and complete.
03

Modelling

Attribution, MMM-lite, and incrementality testing reconcile what's really driving revenue - and how much each channel is worth.
04

Reporting Cadence

Live dashboards and a weekly review keep the whole engine steering by contribution margin and payback - reconciled to your finance numbers.
