Attribution that survives the handoff to the CRM
Most content engagement dies at the edge of the analytics tool. You can see that a post was read; you cannot see that the reader is the same contact your sales team is working. The handoff to the CRM is where attribution usually breaks.
Carry the source the whole way
The fix is unglamorous and reliable: a registered call to action on every piece of content, a UTM set that survives from the landing page through the form into the record, and a write that lands engagement on the contact, not in a silo. Done before launch, not bolted on after, because retroactive attribution is impossible.
