Marketing Attribution Workbook

Review manually entered marketing source-to-outcome data with this editable attribution workbook. Teams enter campaign, source, outcome and supporting context in the Tracker to compare reported performance after promotion. It does not automatically collect data, prove causation or provide automatic attribution, and it is not a replacement for analytics platforms. Handle personal data and reporting claims in line with your applicable privacy, consent and governance requirements.

This resource is designed for Event organisers and Marketing managers who need a practical, reusable document for post-event reporting.

How to use this resource

  1. 1

    Set definitions and scope

    Complete Event Setup with the reporting period, outcome definitions and the limits of the analysis.

  2. 2

    Check data governance

    Confirm the planned use of data aligns with applicable privacy, consent and organisational reporting requirements.

  3. 3

    Enter source-to-outcome data manually

    Populate Tracker from approved reports or exports; the workbook does not collect data automatically.

  4. 4

    Document assumptions and gaps

    Note missing data, overlap and assumptions so readers do not infer causation.

  5. 5

    Review as indicative evidence

    Use the comparison to inform discussion, not to claim that a channel caused an outcome.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Treating the workbook as automatic attribution software — Enter data manually from approved sources and use analytics platforms separately where required.
  • Claiming a source caused an outcome — Present findings as reported or indicative associations and retain assumptions and limitations.
  • Entering personal data without governance review — Use only data permitted by applicable privacy, consent and organisational requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the workbook collect marketing data automatically?+

No. Teams enter source-to-outcome data manually from approved reports or exports.

Does it prove that a campaign caused registrations or sales?+

No. It supports indicative, documented analysis and does not prove causation or provide automatic attribution.

When should attribution assumptions be documented?+

Document them before comparison, including reporting window, attribution rule, data gaps and limitations. This makes later interpretation transparent.
