Service field guide

Marketing analytics for a new market: choosing a team

Agree what to measure and test the data path before the first campaign.

Compare relevant agencies

When this work is useful

Use before a launch when teams disagree about what a useful action means or cannot follow it into sales. Adding another dashboard is not a substitute for a data contract.

Prepare these inputs

Decision questions, event definitions, systems, owners, attribution assumptions and test access.

How to assess a team

Ask how events are named, deduplicated and reconciled. Require an explanation of missing data and attribution limitations before comparing channels.

An editorial shortlist

Included because the cited agency sources describe relevant capabilities. This is not a service performance ranking; confirm the scope for your particular market.
