Datalicious launches data attribution survey
Datalicious wants to know how you're using data attribution, and in return, you'll learn how other marketers are using data attribution.
It is attempting to provide marketers and organisations with a comprehensive view of how their peers rate the effectiveness of their attribution programs, the type of attribution modelling being used and the challenges faced in implementing attribution programs.
