Sofia Aguirre is a Content Specialist at Produktiv, the marketing agency behind Trakt, where she owns the attribution beat: the unglamorous, high-stakes question of how marketing spend actually connects to closed revenue. Working alongside a team that's run tracking for B2B clients for over a decade, she's developed a specific point of view: most campaigns don't fail on performance, they fail on data capture that loses the lead's source long before it reaches the CRM. She writes about marketing attribution, UTM strategy, and the technical plumbing most marketers never look at until their numbers stop adding up.
