Campaign ROI Analysis
Quantify last quarter's marketing return across channels.
The situation
Marketing spent $1.2M across paid social, search, and partnerships last quarter. The CMO wants a clear ROI picture by channel before next week's planning offsite.
Context

- Some partnership spend was booked in the prior quarter.
- Refunds and chargebacks should be netted out of revenue.
Your objectives
- Compute net revenue per channel for the quarter.
- Compare last-touch vs. multi-touch attribution.
- Flag channels with material spend but unclear ROI.
