Campaign Analytics¶
Domain: Marketing | Skill: campaign-analytics | Source: marketing-skill/campaign-analytics/SKILL.md
Campaign Analytics¶
Production-grade campaign performance analysis with multi-touch attribution modeling, funnel conversion analysis, and ROI calculation. Three Python CLI tools provide deterministic, repeatable analytics using standard library only -- no external dependencies, no API calls, no ML models.
Input Requirements¶
All scripts accept a JSON file as positional input argument. See assets/sample_campaign_data.json for complete examples.
Attribution Analyzer¶
{
"journeys": [
{
"journey_id": "j1",
"touchpoints": [
{"channel": "organic_search", "timestamp": "2025-10-01T10:00:00", "interaction": "click"},
{"channel": "email", "timestamp": "2025-10-05T14:30:00", "interaction": "open"},
{"channel": "paid_search", "timestamp": "2025-10-08T09:15:00", "interaction": "click"}
],
"converted": true,
"revenue": 500.00
}
]
}
Funnel Analyzer¶
{
"funnel": {
"stages": ["Awareness", "Interest", "Consideration", "Intent", "Purchase"],
"counts": [10000, 5200, 2800, 1400, 420]
}
}
Campaign ROI Calculator¶
{
"campaigns": [
{
"name": "Spring Email Campaign",
"channel": "email",
"spend": 5000.00,
"revenue": 25000.00,
"impressions": 50000,
"clicks": 2500,
"leads": 300,
"customers": 45
}
]
}
Input Validation¶
Before running scripts, verify your JSON is valid and matches the expected schema. Common errors:
- Missing required keys (e.g.,
journeys,funnel.stages,campaigns) → script exits with a descriptiveKeyError - Mismatched array lengths in funnel data (
stagesandcountsmust be the same length) → raisesValueError - Non-numeric monetary values in ROI data → raises
TypeError
Use python -m json.tool your_file.json to validate JSON syntax before passing it to any script.
Output Formats¶
All scripts support two output formats via the --format flag:
--format text(default): Human-readable tables and summaries for review--format json: Machine-readable JSON for integrations and pipelines
Typical Analysis Workflow¶
For a complete campaign review, run the three scripts in sequence:
# Step 1 — Attribution: understand which channels drive conversions
python scripts/attribution_analyzer.py campaign_data.json --model time-decay
# Step 2 — Funnel: identify where prospects drop off on the path to conversion
python scripts/funnel_analyzer.py funnel_data.json
# Step 3 — ROI: calculate profitability and benchmark against industry standards
python scripts/campaign_roi_calculator.py campaign_data.json
Use attribution results to identify top-performing channels, then focus funnel analysis on those channels' segments, and finally validate ROI metrics to prioritize budget reallocation.
How to Use¶
Attribution Analysis¶
# Run all 5 attribution models
python scripts/attribution_analyzer.py campaign_data.json
# Run a specific model
python scripts/attribution_analyzer.py campaign_data.json --model time-decay
# JSON output for pipeline integration
python scripts/attribution_analyzer.py campaign_data.json --format json
# Custom time-decay half-life (default: 7 days)
python scripts/attribution_analyzer.py campaign_data.json --model time-decay --half-life 14
Funnel Analysis¶
# Basic funnel analysis
python scripts/funnel_analyzer.py funnel_data.json
# JSON output
python scripts/funnel_analyzer.py funnel_data.json --format json
Campaign ROI Calculation¶
# Calculate ROI metrics for all campaigns
python scripts/campaign_roi_calculator.py campaign_data.json
# JSON output
python scripts/campaign_roi_calculator.py campaign_data.json --format json
Scripts¶
1. attribution_analyzer.py¶
Implements five industry-standard attribution models to allocate conversion credit across marketing channels:
| Model | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| First-Touch | 100% credit to first interaction | Brand awareness campaigns |
| Last-Touch | 100% credit to last interaction | Direct response campaigns |
| Linear | Equal credit to all touchpoints | Balanced multi-channel evaluation |
| Time-Decay | More credit to recent touchpoints | Short sales cycles |
| Position-Based | 40/20/40 split (first/middle/last) | Full-funnel marketing |
2. funnel_analyzer.py¶
Analyzes conversion funnels to identify bottlenecks and optimization opportunities:
- Stage-to-stage conversion rates and drop-off percentages
- Automatic bottleneck identification (largest absolute and relative drops)
- Overall funnel conversion rate
- Segment comparison when multiple segments are provided
3. campaign_roi_calculator.py¶
Calculates comprehensive ROI metrics with industry benchmarking:
- ROI: Return on investment percentage
- ROAS: Return on ad spend ratio
- CPA: Cost per acquisition
- CPL: Cost per lead
- CAC: Customer acquisition cost
- CTR: Click-through rate
- CVR: Conversion rate (leads to customers)
- Flags underperforming campaigns against industry benchmarks

Best Practices¶
- Use multiple attribution models -- Compare at least 3 models to triangulate channel value; no single model tells the full story.
- Set appropriate lookback windows -- Match your time-decay half-life to your average sales cycle length.
- Segment your funnels -- Compare segments (channel, cohort, geography) to identify performance drivers.
- Benchmark against your own history first -- Industry benchmarks provide context, but historical data is the most relevant comparison.
- Run ROI analysis at regular intervals -- Weekly for active campaigns, monthly for strategic review.
- Include all costs -- Factor in creative, tooling, and labor costs alongside media spend for accurate ROI.
- Document A/B tests rigorously -- Use the provided template to ensure statistical validity and clear decision criteria.
Limitations¶
- No statistical significance testing -- Scripts provide descriptive metrics only; p-value calculations require external tools.
- Standard library only -- No advanced statistical libraries. Suitable for most campaign sizes but not optimized for datasets exceeding 100K journeys.
- Offline analysis -- Scripts analyze static JSON snapshots; no real-time data connections or API integrations.
- Single-currency -- All monetary values assumed to be in the same currency; no currency conversion support.
- Simplified time-decay -- Exponential decay based on configurable half-life; does not account for weekday/weekend or seasonal patterns.
- No cross-device tracking -- Attribution operates on provided journey data as-is; cross-device identity resolution must be handled upstream.
