Know what is actually driving revenue.
Ebenezer's digital organism connects your marketing touchpoints to closed revenue, applies your attribution model, and delivers contribution reports that inform spend allocation decisions.
TL;DR
Marketing attribution automation connects marketing touchpoints across channels to closed revenue events using a configured attribution model and delivers channel contribution reports on a scheduled basis to inform budget decisions.

Definition
Marketing attribution automation is a data stitching and reporting process in which a digital organism joins touchpoint event data from marketing systems to conversion and revenue outcomes from the CRM or billing system, applies a configured attribution model to distribute credit across touchpoints, and compiles channel contribution reports. Reports are delivered on a defined schedule and include model-specific revenue credit by channel and campaign.
Industry context
Why this matters
Only 23% of marketers say they can effectively measure and report on ROI across all channels (Forrester, 2022)
Multi-touch attribution models produce 15 to 30% different budget allocation recommendations than last-touch models for the same data (Nielsen, 2022)
Misattributed marketing spend costs companies an estimated 37% of their digital marketing budget effectiveness (Nielsen, 2023)
Marketers who use multi-touch attribution report 10% higher return on ad spend than those using single-touch models (Forrester, 2022)
The average B2B buyer interacts with 6 to 8 marketing touchpoints before making a purchase decision (Salesforce, 2023)
The problem
What teams deal with today
Marketing budget decisions are made on last-click data that ignores the full customer journey
Connecting marketing touchpoints to closed revenue requires manual join work that happens quarterly at best
Different teams claim credit for the same conversions because attribution is not systematically defined

Compiles channel and campaign contribution reports aggregated from all attributed journeys
Delivers reports on a configured schedule and surfaces anomalies where attribution patterns shift significantly
Integrations
Works with your existing stack
The AI organism connects to the tools you already use, building context from every interaction.
Common questions about Marketing Attribution Automation
Which attribution models does Ebenezer support?
Ebenezer supports configurable attribution models including first-touch, last-touch, linear (equal credit to all touchpoints), time-decay (more credit to touchpoints closer to conversion), and U-shaped or W-shaped position-based models. You select the model that aligns with your theory of marketing contribution, and the digital organism applies it consistently to every journey in the dataset. Multiple models can be run in parallel so you can compare their outputs.
How does Ebenezer handle touchpoints that happen before a contact becomes known in the CRM?
Anonymous web touchpoints before a contact's email capture are a common attribution gap. When a visitor converts from anonymous to known, Ebenezer can stitch prior anonymous session data to the identified contact if you have a cross-device identity mechanism in place, such as a cookie-to-email mapping from your analytics tool. For sessions without identity resolution, the touchpoints remain anonymous and are reported as an unattributed assist channel.
Can Ebenezer attribute revenue to offline marketing touchpoints like events and direct mail?
Yes. Offline touchpoints can be logged manually or via import. Event attendance can be synced from your event management system. Direct mail campaigns can be attributed by tracking a unique landing page or promo code associated with the send. Each offline touchpoint type has a configurable data entry or import pathway that places it in the journey timeline alongside digital touchpoints.
How do the attribution reports inform budget allocation decisions?
Attribution reports show each channel's revenue contribution under the selected model alongside its total spend, yielding a cost-per-attributed-revenue figure for each channel. When the same spend generates more attributed revenue in one channel than another, the case for reallocation becomes data-backed. The reports are designed to present these figures in a format that can be shared directly with finance and executive stakeholders without additional formatting.
