marketing-analyst is a Claude Code skill that turns campaign, funnel, and channel data into actionable spend, messaging, and growth experiment recommendations for developers running live SaaS, content, and ecommerce prod

About

marketing-analyst is a growth analytics skill for Claude Code that ingests campaign, funnel, and channel performance data and returns clear recommendations on budget allocation, messaging tests, and experiment priorities. The skill is designed for developers and product engineers who own metrics for live SaaS, content, or ecommerce surfaces and need analyst-style synthesis without standing up a separate BI workflow. It works by structuring raw or exported performance inputs into comparable channel views, flagging underperforming spend, and proposing testable messaging and funnel changes. Reach for marketing-analyst when you have real traffic or ad data and need decision-ready guidance on what to scale, cut, or A/B test next.

  • Interprets campaign and funnel performance metrics
  • Estimates channel ROI and budget tradeoffs
  • Recommends A/B tests and messaging experiments
  • Links acquisition trends to lifecycle retention signals
  • Translates dashboards into distribution and content actions

How do you turn campaign data into growth recommendations?

Turn campaign, funnel, and channel data into clear recommendations on spend, messaging tests, and growth experiments for live SaaS, content, and ecommerce products.

Who is it for?

Developers and product engineers who own live SaaS, content, or ecommerce metrics and need analyst-style recommendations from campaign and funnel exports.

Skip if: Teams with no live traffic or conversion data yet, or developers who only need one-off copywriting without performance analysis.

When should I use this skill?

The user shares campaign, funnel, or channel performance data and asks where to shift spend, what to test, or which growth experiments to run next.

What you get

Channel performance summaries, spend reallocation recommendations, messaging test ideas, and prioritized growth experiment backlog

  • Spend recommendations
  • Messaging test plan
  • Growth experiment backlog

Marketing Analyst

The agent operates as a senior marketing analyst, delivering campaign performance analysis, multi-touch attribution, marketing mix modeling, ROI measurement, and data-driven budget optimization.

Clarify First

Before running the analysis, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • [ ] Campaigns/channels in scope — which campaigns or channels and the date range (defines the dataset and report boundaries)
  • [ ] KPIs and their targets — CPL, CAC, ROAS, pipeline, revenue, each with a target and a data source (drives the target-vs-actual performance table)
  • [ ] Sales-cycle length — short vs long B2B cycle (determines attribution model and whether to report pipeline vs closed revenue)
  • [ ] Report audience — exec summary vs ops deep-dive (sets the altitude and which sections matter most)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

Workflow

1. Define measurement objectives - Identify which campaigns, channels, or initiatives require analysis. Confirm KPIs (CPL, CAC, ROAS, pipeline, revenue). Checkpoint: every KPI has a target and a data source. 2. Collect and validate data - Pull campaign data from ad platforms, CRM, and analytics tools. Validate completeness and consistency. Checkpoint: no channel has >5% missing data. 3. Run attribution analysis - Apply multiple attribution models (first-touch, last-touch, linear, time-decay, position-based) and compare channel credit allocation. Checkpoint: results are compared across at least 3 models. 4. Analyze campaign performance - Calculate ROI, ROAS, CPL, CAC, and conversion rates per campaign. Identify top and bottom performers. Checkpoint: performance table includes target vs. actual for every metric. 5. Optimize budget allocation - Use marketing mix modeling or ROI data to recommend budget shifts. Checkpoint: reallocation recommendations are backed by expected ROI per channel. 6. Build executive report - Summarize headline metrics, wins, challenges, and next-period focus. Checkpoint: report passes the "so what" test (every data point has an actionable insight).

Attribution Modeling

Model Comparison

The agent should apply multiple models and compare results to identify channel over/under-valuation:

ModelLogicBest For
First-touch100% credit to first interactionMeasuring awareness channels
Last-touch100% credit to final interactionMeasuring conversion channels
LinearEqual credit across all touchesBalanced view of full journey
Time-decayMore credit to recent touchesShort sales cycles
Position-based40% first, 40% last, 20% middleMost B2B scenarios

Troubleshooting

SymptomLikely CauseResolution
Attribution models give wildly different channel credit allocationsNo single model captures full truth; each has structural biasRun 3+ models (first-touch, last-touch, position-based) and compare; use position-based as default for B2B
ROAS calculations look great but pipeline is flatRevenue attribution counting existing customers, not new pipelineSeparate new business attribution from expansion; report pipeline separately from revenue
Marketing reports and sales reports show different lead countsMarketing counts MQLs at form fill, sales counts at CRM entry with different criteriaAlign on shared definitions: document exact MQL, SQL, and opportunity criteria in a shared SLA
Forecast consistently over-predicts by 20%+Model uses linear extrapolation without accounting for seasonality or saturationApply dampening factors for longer forecasts; use ensemble method (linear + growth rate + moving average)
Executive dashboard takes too long to build each monthManual data pulls from 5+ platforms with different schemasAutomate data collection; standardize UTM and naming conventions so cross-platform analysis is consistent
Channel ROI is negative but still generating pipelineLong B2B sales cycle means revenue attribution has not caught up to spendUse pipeline-based attribution for channels with 3+ month sales cycles rather than closed-won revenue

---

Success Criteria

  • Multi-touch attribution model deployed comparing 3+ models with documented channel credit differences
  • Monthly marketing report delivered within 3 business days of month close
  • Budget reallocation recommendations backed by per-channel ROI data and implemented quarterly
  • Forecast accuracy within 15% of actual for 3-month projections
  • Campaign performance reports include target vs actual for every KPI
  • Every data point in executive reports has an actionable insight (passes "so what" test)
  • Channel data completeness above 95% (no channel has >5% missing data)

Scope & Limitations

In Scope: Campaign performance analysis, multi-touch attribution modeling, marketing mix optimization, ROI/ROAS calculation, budget allocation recommendations, executive reporting, cohort retention analysis, marketing forecasting.

Out of Scope: Analytics implementation and tracking setup (see analytics-tracking skill), product analytics (see product-team skills), financial modeling beyond marketing metrics (see finance skill), data engineering and warehouse management.

Limitations: Attribution models are approximations — no model perfectly captures the buyer journey, especially for high-touch B2B sales. Forecasting uses historical extrapolation with dampening; it does not account for market disruptions or competitive moves. Budget optimization assumes linear channel scaling; most channels have diminishing returns at scale.
