Sound familiar?

The wall every D2C founder hits.

Spending on ads. No idea what works.

Meta says 4× ROAS. GA4 says something else. You're scaling spend on broken attribution.

Data everywhere. No single truth.

Shopify. Klaviyo. Meta. Your 3PL. Five tools, five versions of revenue. Meetings become number debates.

Getting customers. Not keeping them.

Retention is invisible until it's catastrophic. You find out your best cohort churned — six months later.

Revenue grows. Margins shrink.

You don't know which customers, channels, or SKUs are actually profitable. Scaling = scaling losses.

What platforms claim
What MMM shows

This gap costs the average D2C brand 18–35% of their media budget — spent on channels that look good on dashboards but don't actually drive purchases.

Attribution gap

Your ad platform is lying to you.

Every channel takes 100% credit for every sale. Meta claims it. Google claims it. Even email claims it. Add it up and you're attributing 280% of your revenue. Someone's wrong — and you're paying for it.

We rebuild attribution using Media Mix Modelling + incrementality testing — so your budget decisions are based on what actually drives growth, not what looks best in a dashboard.

What changes

From reactive
to in control.

One version of truth. Attribution that matches your P&L. Signals before customers churn. Your team decides with data — even when you're not in the room.

Real numbers.

Beauty & Skincare · D2C

Broken attribution was hiding where growth was really coming from.

NaturaNova had 3 dashboards, all showing different revenue numbers. Marketing was scaling Meta spend based on platform ROAS — but their P&L told a different story every month.

The problem: Platform-reported ROAS of 4.2× looked healthy. But real blended profitability was declining. Email and organic were invisible in their attribution model.

We had three dashboards giving three different revenue numbers. Ankashram gave us one version of truth — and for the first time, marketing and finance were aligned.

NaturaNova Skincare

We found out our subscription customers were worth 4× our one-time buyers. That single insight completely restructured our acquisition strategy. CAC dropped 28%.

I now have a churn model that flags at-risk customers 30 days before they leave. That one thing paid for the entire engagement in the first quarter.
