Pain Points
Attribution, Performance, Measurement

OluKai, a premium lifestyle footwear business rooted in Hawaiian culture, wanted to understand the real impact TikTok was having on its growth beyond top-of-funnel engagement.

Despite strong organic and paid engagement on TikTok, traditional attribution models dramatically undervalued the channel’s influence on revenue and customer acquisition.

By implementing Northbeam’s Clicks + Deterministic Views (C+DV), OluKai captured TikTok’s full view-driven impact—transforming it from an engagement channel into a measurable, high-return growth driver.

The Problem

Last-click Models Undervalued TikTok

TikTok’s strength lies in reaching audiences through view-driven content, but click-based attribution failed to capture how impressions influenced conversions.

Without impression-level tracking, key upper-funnel impact went unrecognized, creating hesitation to scale investment.

OluKai needed a more accurate measurement model to evaluate TikTok alongside other performance channels with confidence.

The Solution

Measure What Matters with Deterministic View Data

OluKai adopted Northbeam’s Clicks + Deterministic Views (C+DV), a multi-touch attribution model that deterministically connects impressions to outcomes across channels.

This enabled TikTok impression data to be evaluated beyond clicks, revealing the channel’s true contribution to conversions, ROAS, and new customer acquisition—and giving the team a clearer lens for optimization and scaling.

The Results

• 316% increase in attributed revenue on TikTok
