Pain Points
Platform bias, CAC pressure, subscription visibility

As Dr. Squatch expanded channels and product lines, legacy analytics tools failed to explain true performance—especially across subscriptions, discounts, and returns.

By adopting Northbeam as its source of truth, Dr. Squatch gained reliable attribution, deeper lifecycle insight, and the flexibility to optimize for long-term profitability.

The Problem

Growth Demanded Better Attribution

Dr. Squatch relied on Google Analytics and in-platform reporting that couldn’t accurately measure omnichannel impact or customer lifetime value.

As privacy changes loomed and spend increased, the team needed clearer answers on where CAC was justified—and where it wasn’t.

Subscription performance, discounting, and returns added further complexity to decision-making.

The Solution

Optimize With Custom, Lifecycle-Aware Metrics

Dr. Squatch implemented Northbeam to centralize attribution and guide weekly investment decisions across channels.

Using Northbeam’s Custom Metrics, the team built tailored KPIs—such as Take Rate, Upsell Rate, Discount Rate, and Return Rate—to understand which campaigns drove high-LTV subscribers and which fell into “red zones” that inflated CAC.
