Context

A B2B SaaS company had increased demand-generation budget over multiple quarters, but opportunity pipeline and won deals weren’t growing at the same rate.

Channels were optimized in silos. Leadership needed a cross-channel answer: where should the next rupee or dollar go?

Key Challenges

  • Each channel owner claimed success based on platform-reported metrics.
  • No unified view of how channels worked together across the full funnel.
  • Decisions were based on last-click or anecdotal evidence.
  • CFO wanted a clear story on what marketing was really delivering.

What DASTATS Built

Unified Funnel Data

From spend to won deals.

We stitched ad spend, clicks, leads, opportunities and revenue into a clean funnel dataset segmented by channel, campaign and time.

Marketing Mix Model

Incremental, not just attributed.

A model estimated the incremental effect of each channel on pipeline and revenue, correcting for seasonality and overlapping activity.

Budget Allocation Scenarios

If we move X from here to there?

Scenario dashboards helped the team simulate how budget shifts would impact pipeline volume and CAC before making changes.

Impact

2.1× Media Efficiency

Budget reallocated toward high incremental channels, improving pipeline created per currency spent.

Confidence with Finance

Marketing could defend budgets with evidence-based stories tied directly to pipeline and revenue.

Better Quarterly Planning

Mix recommendations became a standard part of quarterly planning and board discussions.
