From Building MTA Platforms to Pioneering Privacy-First Attribution—My Journey Below 👇

Over the last two decades, I’ve had the privilege of creating marketing campaigns that have added 💰billions in value. But the path hasn’t been without its twists and turns.

In 2008, I discovered a massive flaw in how digital measurement relied on ‘last click.’ It was clear to me: there had to be a better way. So, I rolled up my sleeves and built one of the first multi-touch attribution (MTA) platforms.

In just a few months, our clients were seeing 15-25% ROI increases, and by 2019, we had:
✅ Served some of the world’s largest marketers.
✅ Achieved MRC Accreditation for measurement quality.
✅ Grown 171% YoY before my exit that year.

Then in 2021, everything changed again.

With privacy becoming a global priority:
💥 Apple’s iOS updates shook up Facebook and digital advertising.
💥 Google announced plans to eliminate third-party cookies.
💥 Privacy laws began spreading across the US.

Suddenly, the measurement systems I helped pioneer were becoming obsolete. Every MTA platform was on the verge of extinction.

But I saw an opportunity.

I hypothesized that AI-driven attribution could future-proof measurement without violating privacy.
So, in 2022, I launched Provalytics—a privacy-first attribution platform.

The results?
🎯 Clients are seeing the same 15-25% ROI growth, but without user-level data.
🔒 100% compliant with privacy-first standards.

What’s next?
We’re scaling Provalytics to help marketers prove their impact in this cookieless, privacy-centric world. With AI-driven insights and future-ready tools, we’re building a better way forward.
