To me, attribution is an art form. It's about understanding how digital channels traffic can be isolated to further understand what part that channel plays within a consumers buying process. It's about using creative and controlling what creative is seen based on what type of creative and channel brought them to your brand. It helps to have a DMP on your side.

Editor's Notes
Using a DMP within your attribution strategy allows for 1st party data collection. All of your client’s traffic is collected into valuable consumer segments that can be used as Behavioral Audiences. Most, if not all competitors do not pitch DMP attribution.
