Comparing different vendors based on their website info with heavy marketing lingo or making heads and tails from a few sales pitches can deem a tricky and drudgery task. That’s why we made a structured comparison of 15 key attributions features between Roivenue and Ignite Tech. (ThinkVine).

What is Analytic Partners missing?
TV attribution can sometimes be a tough nut to crack, yet ignoring offline activities can heavily skew your results. Big brands still spend big on TV advertising as they know there is just no substitute to it. You simply will not achieve the same scale without it and its impact is something you should think highly of in your marketing ecosystem.
A customer visits your Facebook page on his smartphone, checks your website on his laptop and does a purchase on a tablet. Cross-device matching messes customer journeys and a vendor that is not able to account for that serves a skewed results to his clients.
Simple math: Ad served ≠ Ad viewed.
Viewability helps to count only impressions that are actually seen by the user. With ad fraud going through the roof, providers who are not able to distinguish between served and viewed impressions are not doing their clients a good service.
Data-driven Attribution Models are offered by number of vendors, however for most of them the computations themselves remain a "black box" - no one will tell you how it works and you just have to trust the algorithm, take it or leave it.
We at Roivenue for one hate that. That’s why we provide three different data-driven models. We can tell you exactly how the math being them work. And if you’re still not happy we can import your own model into the platform.
Time is money. Marketers today can‘t wait weeks for the data. They need it within a hand's reach and they need it without delay. Models that are updated automatically to reflect changes happening, allow marketers to make confident decisions based only on the most current data.
Using CLV, marketers get a powerful tool to help them invest in channels and users with the biggest potential in the long-term. Once you know your cost of acquisition and your CLV, you can get on real stuff - optimizing. Simply put, you can spend more money on acquisition because you simply know it is gonna do wonders. That is exactly how the fastest growing players increase the value of their customer base.
Not having this capability within the system on the other hand is then a pity at least. More likely a disaster if you think about it.
We hate silos.
Companies today have a lot of data centers and clients don't have to be locked out of it. A reasonable question to ask would be whether your vendor is providing you with the opportunity to make a further use of those data. Wide-ranging possibilities of data usage can help you to produce a meaningful analysis - doesn't matter if you are marketer, analyst or just curious.
Why all the fuss about the impression based attribution or view-throughs? Savvy marketers know that they should not overlook the value gained from impressions. Why? Let's say someone saw your display ad 6 times. He never clicked on it once, but two weeks later made a direct visit to your site and bought. Without impression-based attribution you would never know that direct conversion actually originated from those display ads.
Some people might have forgotten that that’s exactly the reason why you do display ads in the first place. To make your brand recognizable so that you become the brand of choice when the need for your stuff finally arises within the your customers’s head.
We believe, you should be able to work with marketing channels in the same way you are used to work with them, evaluate them or conceptually think about them. Anything else is a compromise at the very least, leading to an inability to take proper optimizing action.
Maybe you don't want to see Adwords but you want to split it into search, Youtube, PLA, DSA and GDN. Mabye you want to go even deeper and see the attribution coefficients for every single campaign in AdWords separately. Or on the other extreme – you want to combine display campaigns from different DSPs into one overarching channel.
Luckily Roivenue allows you to define your own channel and what traffic and ads go into it. Be plain sailing.
Paying more than 250.000 $ per year for anyattribution solution is a shame! If competitors can do the same job for a fraction of the price it just makes you wonder what exactly are the money from your big fees supporting. Is it still towards improving your ROI?
