đď¸ This Weekâs Episode: From Magic Tricks to Marketing TruthsâJeff Greenfield on Attributionâs Future
Is marketing attribution still possible without cookies? And how do you actually know which of your efforts are driving conversions? In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Greenfieldâentrepreneur, magician, and co-founder of Provalyticsâwhoâs building the next generation of privacy-compliant, AI-driven attribution for marketers who are tired of guessing.
Jeffâs career path is anything but ordinaryâstarting in chiropractic and close-up magic, detouring into early SEO, product placement, and branded entertainment, and eventually pioneering one of the first multi-touch attribution models at C3 Metrics. Now with Provalytics, heâs empowering marketers with actionable insights without relying on cookies or user-level data.
Jeff shares:
- His wild journey from Magic Castle magician to measurement expert
- How marketers can confidently defend spend in a privacy-first world
- Why impressionsânot clicksâare the true currency of marketing
- What legacy marketers need to unlearn (and relearn) to keep up
- How Provalytics is helping brands find ROI in places they never thought to look
We also dig into why marketers often fear data (and how to fix that), what SMBs can do to DIY their own measurement, and why being âless wrong each monthâ is a smarter goal than perfection.
đŻ Key Takeaways:
- Attribution is no longer about perfect trackingâitâs about predictive trust
- Focus on impressions, not just clicksâtheyâre your first signal of interest
- Marketing mix modeling isnât just for big brands anymore
- Visibility into whatâs actually working can save you millions
- It's time to bridge the gap between creative marketing and cold, hard finance
Whether you're a data-driven CMO, a scrappy founder trying to stretch your budget, or a marketer who wants to sound smarter in front of the CFOâthis episode is a must-listen.
