TV & Radio attribution

Attribute credit to your paid television & radio advertising

With Attribution you can also attribute to your paid television spend in your model. Attribution does this by deploying an 8 minute window to collect visits after your ad runs. Any visits that arrive within this window via direct traffic would be considered attributable to the paid TV ad. As with all ad platforms on your dashboard, TV Attribution would be blended with other touches to create your realistic multi-touch model. TV Attribution is an additional paid feature, please contact [email protected] if you're interested.
