Prove which spend works

Spend ranked by what it returns, in the numbers finance uses, with the reason behind every change.

Which half of our Q3 spend worked?

Answered with Adverity Atlas

Search and TV drove 71% of new revenue on 54% of spend. Paid social to existing customers returned least, $0.40 per dollar. Moving $180k from social to search is expected to add about $310k next quarter.

Because of the data availability that Adverity has made possible, we are now able to calculate true return on ad spend, not in the ad platform, but through the actual business. And the potential of this is enormous.

How does it know which spend works?

It brings your spend, sales and finance data together with your team’s definitions, then ranks each channel by return and says how confident it is. Every number links to its query and source.

How confident is the ranking?

Each channel shows a confidence level, based on how complete and consistent its data is. Data still arriving is flagged, so you know what to wait for.

Will finance trust the numbers?

They use finance’s definitions, so marketing and finance report the same return, and every figure traces back to its source.

Does it work with our attribution or marketing mix model?

Yes. It brings their results together with your spend, sales and finance’s definitions, so the answer is one you can explain to the board.
