01 · The challenge

Where they started

A marketing agency gathered performance data from many advertising channels for a diverse client base, and needed richer, more scalable reporting.

Fragmented channel data

Data from multiple advertising channels made a complete view of performance hard to get.

Manual integration

Bringing sources together into one reporting environment took significant manual effort.

Visualisation limits

Data Studio's limitations held back interactive, insightful reports.

Many clients

Reports had to scale and be tailored for each of the agency's clients.
