How Rockerbox’s Multi-Touch Attribution Works

channel-measurement-uncover-insights

Step 1: Connect All Marketing Touchpoints for a Unique User

Rockerbox tracks the complete user journey across clicks, views, digital channels, and offline media.

What Rockerbox captures:

  • Clicks and views from paid social, search, display, and video

  • Digital and offline channels including CTV, linear TV, direct mail, podcasts, and influencer campaigns

  • Organic and paid touchpoints across your entire marketing mix

  • Promo codes and post-purchase surveys for hard-to-track channels

You see the full picture, not just clicks.

Step 2: De-Duplicate and Reconcile Back to Source of Truth

On a per-user basis, Rockerbox reconciles all marketing touchpoints back to a known conversion event. This eliminates double-counting and reveals true channel contribution.

The problem: Every platform takes 100% credit. Meta reports 100%. Google reports 100%. Your affiliate network reports 100%. But they're all measuring the same conversion.

Rockerbox's solution: De-duplicates performance to show which channels actually drove the conversion versus which ones simply took last-click credit.

Step 3: Assign Credit Based on Real User Behavior

Rockerbox applies a custom attribution model built from your data using logistic regression to analyze which touchpoints influence conversions.

How it works:

  • Analyzes cohorts: users exposed to marketing who convert, users exposed who don't convert, and users who convert with no marketing exposure

  • Calculates relative impact for each touchpoint

  • Assigns weighted credit across the customer journey

  • Ensures early-funnel and mid-funnel interactions aren't ignored

 

What Rockerbox MTA Unlocks

Uncover channels last-click undervalues

Away discovered that Meta's revenue contribution was 6x higher in MTA than last-click attribution, enabling them to double Meta investment during Black Friday/Cyber Monday while maintaining efficiency. MTA reveals the true impact of channels that don't show up in last-click.

Scale emerging channels with confidence

Rebag scaled TikTok spend 100%+ year-over-year by understanding its full-funnel impact beyond last-click conversions. When you see how channels work together, you can invest aggressively where it matters.

Find undervalued channels across your mix

SEMrush uncovered that paid social was significantly undervalued in their internal attribution model, leading to a 7.1% measurable performance lift. De-duplicated attribution shows you where to reallocate budget for stronger returns.
