Their journey to master marketing attribution began with the need to consolidate their data. Handling multiple business managers and platforms created a tangled web of data that was challenging to decipher – they sought a one-stop solution as a trustworthy guide for marketing performance.

The problem became more pronounced when trying to understand the impact of their upper funnel efforts. “We have a relatively long conversion funnel” – Nino, Jimmy Joy’s Head of Growth tells us – “people don’t convert right away. And in this competitor’s platform, where the reliance is still heavily on click data, performance for upper funnel looks quite poor”. We know this is misleading. Last Click holds minimal value as an attribution method for brands seeking the truth of how impactful their higher funnel efforts are. The method has no way of accounting for impressions, naturally swaying its attribution heavily towards Conversion activity.
Ultimately, Jimmy Joy recognizes that the reliability of the attribution method, and the data itself, is the most important part of the platform. Their advice to brands in a similar position? “If you’re spending through multiple channels, it’s a no-brainer that you need an attribution provider to model this for you and tie it all together.”
Ultimately, “the click-only data was just not going to cut it”. Jimmy Joy therefore turned to Fospha. Fospha’s Ensemble models accounting for clicks and impressions across the entire funnel revealed that Jimmy Joy’s impressions-led channels (like Reddit & TikTok) and higher funnel activity was indeed effective. “I think probably the most important reason we prefer Fospha – a longer more sophisticated funnel with multiple touchpoints.” Nino cites the ability to view overall performance and drill into specific markets or stores, provided by Fospha, as a key benefit.
