  In today’s complex B2B landscape, buyers interact with your brand across multiple channels long before they ever speak to sales. They click ads, read blog posts, watch webinars, and engage with your content across months — or even years. Yet, when it comes to measuring ROI, many businesses still rely on single-touch attribution models that give all the credit to one interaction — the first click, the last email, or the final ad. That outdated approach hides the real story behind your marketing performance. Enter multi-source attribution models — a smarter, more accurate way to understand what’s truly driving revenue growth. The Problem with Single-Touch Attribution Traditional attribution models oversimplify the buyer journey. A first-touch model credits the channel that generated the initial contact, while a last-touch model credits the final conversion point.

  In 2025, Account-Based Marketing (ABM) has entered a new phase — one defined not just by targeting key accounts, but by predicting which accounts are ready to buy before they even engage.

But it has often been reactive , relying on historical engagement data or manual research. The problem is that by the time most companies spot intent through website visits or form fills, buyers are already deep into their decision-making process. AI-first AB...

  2025 marks a defining year for marketers everywhere — the end of third-party cookies and the beginning of a new era in data-driven marketing. As privacy regulations tighten and browsers phase out external tracking, brands can no longer rely on rented data from ad networks or external providers. The solution? First-party data — information collected directly from customers through owned channels like websites, emails, and CRM systems. And leading this transformation is HubSpot , which has evolved into one of the most powerful first-party data ecosystems in the marketing technology landscape. The Decline of Third-Party Data and the Rise of Trust For years, third-party data powered digital advertising and targeting. It allowed marketers to reach audiences at scale — but often without consent or context. That approach is now collapsing under the weight of privacy expectations, legislation, and consumer mistrust. Google Chrome is fully deprecating third-party cookies by 2025. Regulat...
