Analytics Tracking Setup

By Corey Haines (Marketing)

Set up tracking to measure what's working in your marketing and product.

Demand Gen Strategy and Measurement

By Exit Five (B2B Marketing)

Design your B2B marketing engine—channels, budget, pipeline metrics, and what to measure.

Analytics Tracking Setup

• Creates tracking plans that define what events and user actions to measure
• Sets up Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, and other analytics tools
• Designs naming conventions and property structures for consistent data collection
• Validates tracking implementation and debugs issues with events not firing correctly
• Establishes UTM parameter strategies for tracking campaign performance

Demand Gen Strategy and Measurement

• Explains how to split budget between brand-building (the 95% not ready to buy) and performance (the 5% in-market now)
• Helps you define the right metrics—shifting from MQLs to pipeline value and qualified opportunities
• Guides channel selection and attribution models so you know what's working and what's not
• Shows how to align marketing structure with your actual go-to-market motion (inbound, outbound, or partner-led)
• Surfaces buyer psychology—trigger events, deal cycles, multi-stakeholder decisions—so your campaigns match reality
