Overview

Turn noise into signal.

Illuminate™ unifies your marketing data and ties it to outcomes you can defend. It combines attribution with incrementality testing and modeling so you can fund what actually drives revenue, then repeat what works.

Attribution

Understand the journey. See which channels and touchpoints drive real conversions.

Incrementality

Prove what caused lift. Geo experiments and holdouts that separate signal from noise.

Media Mix Modeling

Plan the next dollar with privacy resilience. Forecast marginal returns at a channel level.

Outcomes

Decisions that move faster than your market.

Cut waste by identifying non-incremental spend.

Reallocate budget based on marginal returns.

Increase learning velocity with a test-and-scale loop.

Align stakeholders with one source of truth.

Before

Fragmented dashboards, conflicting metrics, no confidence in what's working.

After

One dashboard + one weekly memo + one reallocation plan.

Features

Everything you need to manage the next dollar.

Multi-touch attribution

Compare models and see which channels contribute to conversions across the full funnel.

Path-to-purchase insights

Visualize the customer journey from first touch to purchase with time-to-convert analysis.

Creative intelligence

Cluster creative by hooks, angles, and formats to understand what resonates and why.

Incrementality testing

Geo and cell split tests with holdouts that prove true lift, not claimed conversions.

Always-on lift monitoring

Continuous measurement that catches performance shifts before they become problems.

MMM scenario planning

Model budget shifts before you make them. See projected returns by channel and spend level.

Budget simulator

Marginal ROI curves that show exactly where your next dollar should go.

Weekly performance memo

Automated insight summaries and reallocation recommendations delivered to your inbox.

Incrementality

Measure lift, not clicks.

Incrementality answers the only question that matters: "Did this spend create new revenue, or just claim it?" Illuminate™ designs and reads geo/cell split tests and holdouts, then turns the results into a simple budget decision.

  • Geo experiments and holdouts
  • iROAS and lift readouts
  • "Scale / Hold / Cut" recommendations

Understand the journey without worshiping last-click.

  • Assisted conversions and time-to-convert
  • Channel and creative contribution views

Illuminate FAQs

Yes. Illuminate™ is included with all Full-Stack Growth Partner retainers. You get attribution dashboards, incrementality testing, and weekly performance memos as part of the engagement.

Yes. Illuminate™ is available as a standalone product in Core and Pro tiers for brands managing media in-house or with another agency. You still get full access to dashboards, memos, and testing frameworks.

We design geo or cell-based split tests where one group sees your ads and another doesn't. By comparing the conversion rates between groups, we measure true incremental lift, not just what the ad platform claims credit for.

Attribution tracks individual user journeys. MMM looks at aggregate channel-level performance using statistical modeling. It's especially useful in privacy-restricted environments and for budget planning, since it doesn't depend on cookies or pixels.

Read-only access to your ad platforms, analytics, and Shopify store. We request the minimum permissions needed and never make changes to your live accounts without explicit approval.

Yes. All data is yours. Dashboards, reports, and raw exports are fully portable. If you ever leave, you take everything with you. No lock-in, no data hostage situations.

Attribution dashboards are live within 2 weeks of onboarding. Incrementality tests typically need 4-6 weeks to reach statistical significance. MMM models require 12+ months of historical data to calibrate.

Absolutely. Illuminate™ is additive, not a replacement. It plugs into your existing stack (Shopify, GA4, Meta, Google, Klaviyo, etc.) and provides a unified layer on top. Keep your tools. Own your data. We make it talk.

Stop guessing. Start reallocating.

If you're spending meaningful budget, Illuminate™ will show what's real and where to push next.
