What we do

Automated marketing reporting

We build the connections that move data from your marketing tools into your warehouse or reporting platform. We align campaign names, currencies and metric definitions, check the totals and create dashboards for regional teams and leadership. AI can summarise changes and help users query the approved data.

Who this is for

Marketing analytics and data teams combining reporting across brands, channels, agencies and countries.

What you receive

Automated data pipelines, a shared metric dictionary, and dashboards for marketing and finance.

How it works

Implementation scope

What we build.

We agree the required components after reviewing your current software, data and team. A project can include the following.

Source mapping

Identify the systems, tables and fields needed for the reports. Agree who supplies the data and how frequently it updates.

  • Source and field inventory
  • Required access and connection details
  • Report requirements by team
  • Data owners and update schedules

Data pipelines

Build scheduled connections that collect, clean and combine data. Check missing records, duplicate entries and totals before updating reports.

  • API and file integrations
  • Cleaning and transformation rules
  • Data quality checks
  • Failure alerts and recovery instructions

Metric definitions

Define how spend, sales and other metrics are calculated. Apply the same rules wherever the same metric is used.

  • Metric formulas and definitions
  • Currency and attribution window rules
  • Campaign and product naming standards
  • Source history and access permissions

Dashboards and reporting

Build reports for marketing reviews and budget meetings. Let users inspect the source data behind the numbers.

  • Leadership and regional dashboards
  • Scheduled reports
  • AI summaries of performance changes
  • Data questions answered with supporting tables
