Goal

Attribution Clarity

Tracking Direct Sales From Facebook and Instagram

PUMA, an industry-leading sports brand, has been innovating sports apparel, footwear, and accessories since 1948. PUMA invests heavily in awareness across lots of different accounts and builds a strong brand identity through collaborations with numerous renowned labels, brand ambassadors, and celebrity influencers. But with so many avenues to reach customers, there was a lack of conversion-focused accountability on the paid social side of the business, muddling the waters of driving and tracking direct sales from Facebook and Instagram.

Clarifying Conversions Across Devices and Channels

This lack of conversion clarity is a common theme for brands investing in multiple channels, especially when it comes to cross-device tracking. While PUMA recognized the importance of top-of-funnel brand awareness campaigns, being able to clarify conversions driven by paid social advertising would require different measurement tools. PUMA turned to its partners at ROI Revolution for a solution.

Mapping Every Touchpoint in the Buyer’s Journey

ROI started by implementing Facebook Attribution to look at first-touch, last-touch, and all the touchpoints in between and gain a deeper understanding of the impact of PUMA’s upper-funnel campaigns.

The team knew a lot could be gained from understanding both cross-device and cross-channel conversions, which are often impossible to track in Google Analytics. The team also ran a Cross-Source Conversion Lift to gain insight into the impact of PUMA’s ads on driving incremental sales and conversions.
