It's new! Pinterest cost integration is available now with Wicked Reports.
First party attribution data from Wicked Reports captures the entire buying cycle of leads generated from all your marketing activities. The tricky part with Pinterest is that these leads are often in the research phase and can take a long time to buy. Other marketing activities may help generate the sale, but you want to attribute that sale back to Pinterest for the most accurate ROI possible

ML Attribution & Consumer Insights: Depesh Mandalia & Wicked Reports
By Scott Desgrosseilliers on Sep 26, 2023 11:30:15 AM
How to Scale Ad ROI Using Machine Learning and Attribution Habits
I recently chatted with Depesh Mandalia from AdSignals about our use of Machine Learning to help our customers to automatically mine their attribution data to find valuable consumer behaviour insights, to generate alerts and weekly recommendations.
Our system excels at identifying subtle 'Attribution Habits,' such as detecting that customers who engage with a specific blog post and a low-cost Facebook retargeting ad within 7 days have a 45% higher Lifetime Value (LTV) than average. The ML then translates this insight into a weekly recommendation to increase budget on that specific ad set and adjust the blog's Call-to-Action. This level of precision is exactly how Depesh Mandalia was able to see such significant, measurable returns.
