Why your marketing numbers don't always match (and what's really going on)

Dela

Why don't your marketing numbers ever match – and should they? 

In this episode of The Engine Room, Laura Pearsall is joined by Prime Creative Media's Head of IT, Chris Forrest, to unpack one of the biggest frustrations in modern marketing: reporting. 

From mismatched analytics dashboards to bots, autoclick traffic and attribution gaps, this episode takes a behind-the-scenes look at how marketing data actually works – and why chasing perfect numbers might be holding you back. 

If you've ever questioned your campaign reports (or your sanity), this one's for you. 

Campaign of the week 

Our Campaign of the Week comes from Specsavers, a long-term client across Australia's leading publication for opthalmic professionals, Insight. 

The campaign features: 

  • Education-led content through the "Specsavers Stories" series 

  • Supported by premium print, digital and enewsletter placements 

It's a really strong example of: 

  • Building trust over time 

  • Using a highly targeted, trusted environment 

  • Prioritising brand and influence over short-term metrics 

It's also a great reminder that not everything that works in B2B marketing shows up neatly in a dashboard!
