HIPAA-Compliant Tracking Infrastructure
The Challenge

Healthcare client required a complete tracking rebuild that balanced full campaign measurement with HIPAA privacy requirements without compromising data collection, attribution integrity, or legal compliance across any of their ad platforms.

Approach
1Audited existing tracking implementation to identify compliance gaps, PII exposure risks, and measurement blind spots across all active ad platforms and the website data layer
2Evaluated and selected a HIPAA-compliant CDP to replace direct pixel implementation in order to route all events server-side through the CDP to remove PII from browser-side tracking
3Rebuilt GA4 and advertising pixel configuration through GTM server-side, and implemented Conversion API to restore signal strength lost from browser-side restrictions and cookie limitations
Results
  • Full campaign measurement restored within HIPAA compliance resulting in no PII exposed in any browser-side tracking
  • CDP implemented for compliant first-party data capture and audience activation
  • Cross-platform attribution maintained through server-side event dispatching
  • Scalable infrastructure established for future tracking additions without compliance risk

GA4 Migration & GTM Container Rebuild
The Challenge

Legacy GA4 implementations and bloated GTM containers were causing tracking inaccuracies, slow page load times, and an inability to confidently implement new conversion tracking which degraded measurement reliability and limited the team's ability to optimize campaigns effectively.

Approach
1Audited 160+ existing GTM tags in order to cross-reference active vs. inactive, identify broken triggers and misfiring events, and mapping each tag to its current business need to determine what to keep, fix, or remove
2Rebuilt the GTM container architecture from the ground up with a clean, organized structure by removing redundant tags, correcting trigger logic, organizing tags into a folder system for long-term maintenance, and standardizing naming conventions for ease of use
3Migrated GA4 configuration into the rebuilt container, validated data layer integrity end-to-end, and documented the new architecture to simplify future implementation and troubleshooting
Results
  • Improved website load time through elimination of redundant and conflicting tags
  • Cleaner attribution with full accurate event firing restored full confidence in campaign measurement
  • Future conversion implementations faster and simpler with a well-organized and documented container
  • Future troubleshooting is simplified, allowing for issues surfaced and resolved faster with clean architecture

Offline Conversion Attribution Pipeline
The Challenge

For clients where conversions happened offline through phone calls, in-person visits, or sales team follow-ups it becomes difficult for ad platforms to gain visibility into which campaigns were actually driving revenue so budget allocation and performance optimization rely on incomplete signals.

Approach
1Mapped the full conversion journey from digital ad click to offline conversion event to identify where CRM data could be captured and structured for attribution ingestion
2Built a CRM integration pipeline to pull completed offline conversion records and dispatch them to Google and Meta's offline conversion import APIs on a recurring schedule
3Matched offline conversion events back to original ad interactions using click IDs, enabling platforms to optimize bidding toward the leads most likely to convert and deeper funnel conversions
Results
  • Ad platform optimization toward actual revenue events instead of top of funnel conversions which decreased unqualified user volume
  • Budget allocation improved through visibility into which campaigns drove offline conversions
  • Compliant signal pathway established for clients where privacy restrictions otherwise limited measurement
  • Offline conversions surfaced in reporting alongside digital performance data which effectively replaced the disconnected, manual records with a unified view

Data Layer Architecture & Implementation
The Challenge

Ecommerce clients lacked the granular data layer events needed to capture full purchase journey behavior which limited the optimization signals available to ad platforms and prevented compliant use of first-party behavioral data for audience targeting and personalization.

Approach
1Audited existing data layer implementation to identify missing events, inconsistent variable naming, and gaps between platform expectations and the data actually being pushed from the site
2Designed and implemented a comprehensive data layer schema covering product views, add-to-cart, initiate checkout, and purchase completions which were standardized across GA4 and all major ad platforms
3Validated data layer integrity through end-to-end QA, confirmed event quality across all platforms, and documented the full schema for future development use to enable compliant first-party audience segmentation
Results
  • 2× desired conversion volume achieved through improved signal quality and platform optimization
  • 20% increase in channel budget allocation driven by data-backed performance confidence
  • Significant CPA decrease from better-optimized bidding signals across platforms
  • First-party behavioral data captured in a compliant way for audience segmentation

Performance Reporting
Multi-Source Performance Dashboard
The Challenge

Client reporting was siloed by channel with each platform having its own view with no way to connect email engagement, website behavior, and paid media performance into a single, actionable picture of what was driving revenue across the full customer journey.

Approach
1Identified the key data sources then designed a data join strategy using custom keys to connect disparate sources
2Built multi-tab dashboard views surfacing product category performance, audience segments, ad creative performance, and WoW/QoQ trend comparisons in a unified view accessible to both internal teams and clients
3Refined dashboard configuration through multiple QA rounds to match the client's unique reporting rules, reconciling a mid-project naming convention and UTM change along the way
Results
  • Visibility into which email categories were driving revenue enabled the implementation team to focus on best performers and replication of winning strategies
  • Ability to catch any unexpected discontinuation of workflows and email automations due to the increase vivsibility the new reporting porvided, adding another layer of quality assurance
  • Cross-channel attribution connected email engagement to downstream purchase behavior for the first time
  • Actionable optimizations surfaced across all channels from a single unified performance view

QBR & Executive Reporting
The Challenge

Clients needed more than performance summaries. They needed a narrative that tied channel investment directly to business outcomes and gave leadership the confidence to expand budget, approve new strategies, and make long-term commitments based on data.

Approach
1Audited campaign performance to identify the strongest performers and analyze the full funnel strategy, then built a QBR narrative structure that tied data directly to client business objectives rather than platform metrics in isolation
2Designed executive-friendly slide layouts telling a clear performance story including quarter-over-quarter comparisons, goal attainment visualization, and forward-looking strategy recommendations with projected impact
3Prepared presenting team members with talk tracks and anticipated Q&A responses to ensure confident, consistent delivery to client leadership and maximizing the impact of the strategy recommendations
Results
  • Strategy expanded into new social platforms with recommendations put into action the same quarter they were presented
  • Incremental budget was allocated towards testing and conversion volume growth based on the efficiency we achieved throughout the year
  • Additional budget unlocked across multiple clients where QBR framework was applied
  • Results from the additional testing became the foundation for case studies and new platform initiatives

Automated Reporting System
The Challenge

Channel teams were spending hours each week manually pulling platform data, assembling performance snapshots, and formatting reports which left less time for the analysis, optimization, and client strategy work that actually moved the needle.

Approach
1Mapped each client's recurring reporting cadence and identified which reports could be fully automated vs which required human interpretation, annotation, or strategic context to be useful
2Built automated data pipelines using Supermetrics and platform API integrations to pull performance data directly into structured reporting templates that refreshed daily, weekly, or monthly depending on team needs
3Structured automated outputs to feed directly into QBR preparation and executive reporting workflows, enabling teams to start from analysis rather than data assembly at every reporting cycle
Results
  • Recurring automated reports allowed teams to reclaim significant time previously spent on manual data pulls
  • Channel leads enabled to focus on proposing testing plans and new tracking implementations with freed capacity
  • Automated outputs integrated directly into QBR workflows, shortening prep time while improving consistency
  • Reporting infrastructure scaled across the client portfolio without proportional increase in team effort

2Built a shared creative asset repository accessible to both channel teams, ensuring consistent messaging and enabling rapid cross-channel deployment without duplicating creative production effort
3Implemented a flexible cross-channel budget allocation model allowing spend to flow toward whichever channel was delivering the strongest KPI performance in real time
Results
  • 20% increase in customer acquisition driven by cross-channel audience and asset synergy
  • 30% reduction in CPA through shared learnings and optimized budget allocation
  • Consistent creative assets improved brand cohesion across all paid touchpoints
  • Flexible budget model enabled faster response to performance trends across channels

Meta CBO Advantage+ Phased Rollout
The Challenge

Meta's CBO Advantage+ framework showed inconsistent early results across the client portfolio which required a structured, phased approach to determine where it would drive gains, where it posed risk, and how to implement it safely at scale without exposing high-budget clients to an unvetted algorithm.

Approach
1Tested CBO Advantage+ during its initial beta rollout which documented underperformance findings and flagged accounts for re-evaluation once Meta made platform improvements to address early limitations
2Retested post-improvement and developed a phased rollout framework: starting with smaller-budget clients to refine the approach, then scaling to larger accounts using a split structure pairing best-performing campaigns with a dedicated testing campaign
3Built client-specific rollout plans with considerations for account history, audience maturity, and risk tolerance before transitioning in order to protect clients that were most sensitive to performance fluctuations during the switch
Results
  • 50% of client portfolio successfully adopted CBO Advantage+ with positive performance outcomes during the second phase
  • Cut manual budget reallocation time by building KPI-based reallocation rules through the beta's rules feature
  • Phased approach protected larger-budget clients from unvetted exposure during rollout
  • Methodology documented and shared across the team as a repeatable framework for future beta evaluations

Full Funnel Audience & Budget Strategy
The Challenge

Budget allocation across the paid social portfolio was reactive and channel-centric rather than strategically distributed across the full customer funnel which limited reach, increased acquisition costs, and left retention and re-engagement opportunities unexplored.

Approach
1Mapped the full customer funnel and built audience strategies for each stage: broad prospecting for top-of-funnel, interest and lookalike targeting for mid-funnel, retargeting for lower-funnel, and existing customers for retention
2Reallocated budgets across the five-platform channel mix based on funnel stage performance and audience saturation with Meta taking the largest allocation, followed by TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, and Reddit
3Built a cross-platform audience and creative governance framework to minimize overlap and ensure each platform served a distinct role in the funnel helping to reduce competition between platforms and improving incremental reach based on best practices
Results
  • Customer acquisition increased through broader, more structured full-funnel audience coverage
  • CPA reduced through more efficient budget distribution across funnel stages paired with the most optimal creatives
  • Annual media spend optimized across five platforms with clearly defined channel roles
  • Audience overlap minimized and incremental reach improved across the full channel portfolio
