Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The shift in measurement is allowing marketers to evaluate each channel independently, as demand has become portable and can be created in one environment and captured in another. This movement challenges traditional attribution models, which often give disproportionate credit to lower-funnel media.
