Prove
It

The number the campaign was supposed to move, and the proof it did. Every JXM engagement starts with a measurement plan and ends with a custom dashboard. No vanity metrics. No theater.

Our performance
analytics process

The dashboard tells you what worked, what didn't, and what to do next. That's the whole point. Anything else is vanity and decoration.

04
01

Goals & Baseline

Before any campaign launches, we define what success looks like: the number, the threshold, the timeline, and the result.

02

Tracking & Tagging

We audit your tracking setup before trusting the numbers. Most are leaky. We fix the leaks before launch, not after.

03

Dashboard Build

Custom dashboards built on your data, not a templated tool. The metrics that matter for your business, in one place, in a shareable, presentable, and (most importantly) digestible format.

04

Constant Optimization

We watch performance daily during launch, weekly after that. We can tweak during a run, not after it ends.

Test & Learn

We design tests that produce real signals, not noise. Holdouts, geo splits, incrementality reads — built into the plan.

Executive Insight Memos

Plain-language summaries of what the data actually says. No charts without conclusions. No conclusions without recommendations.

Recommendation Layer

Every report ends with a what-now. A solid report dashboard isn't complete until it tells you what's next.

Quarterly Review

Every quarter we step back, look at trend lines, and tell you what the data says about the year ahead.

Performance & Analytics

The dashboard tells you what worked, what didn't, and what to do next.

01

Most agency reporting is theater. Pretty charts, big numbers, nothing actionable. We grade ourselves the way you should: did the promised number actually move?

02

A measurement plan written before launch is the difference between knowing what worked and arguing semantics. We baseline, define success in clear numbers, and lock in on the goalposts before spend hits.

03

A dashboard isn't a deliverable. It's a tool. The test isn't whether it looks good in a meeting; it's whether your team checks it Monday to make a decision that matters.

FAQ

Common questions about performance and analytics work

Whatever the campaign is supposed to move. Sometimes leads, sometimes brand search, sometimes attributed revenue, sometimes share of voice. We pick three to five real metrics, baseline them, and report against those — not against everything we can measure. Reporting on too much is the same as nothing. We pick what counts.

Yes. We build it on top of whatever your team already uses — Looker, Tableau, Sheets, Power BI, Mixpanel, whatever's there. We don't push you to a new tool unless yours can't do the job. The dashboard is fully yours. We document, train, and leave it running so your team owns it.

First we tell you what's missing or unreliable — and what that means for the conclusions you can draw. Then we propose the cheapest fix that solves it. Sometimes a tracking patch, sometimes a backfill, sometimes a workaround. We don't pretend data is clean when it isn't. Caveats stay in the report.

We tell you, fast. The dashboard makes it visible the same week, not the next quarter. Then we figure out why — bad creative, wrong audience, broken funnel, off-target offer. We bring a diagnosis and a recommendation, not just the bad news. Sometimes push harder. Sometimes pull spend. Either way, you'll know.

Yes. Attribution gives you the platform's view. Incrementality tells you whether the spend caused the lift. Both matter. We design holdouts and geo splits where possible, run conversion lift studies where they aren't, and report both numbers side by side. The truth is somewhere between platform-reported attribution and a true incrementality read.

A report is a snapshot you read once. A dashboard is a tool you check every Monday. Reports get filed. Dashboards get used. We build dashboards because the goal isn't to summarize — it's to tell your team what to do next. Reports come out of the dashboard when leadership needs them.

Often, yes. The first ninety days are when the data starts to mean something. We can stay through the first cycle on a measurement retainer, build the muscle around the dashboard, and hand it cleanly to your team. After that, most clients run it themselves. We're available when a fresh read helps.
