    Introduction: 

    Tagging of digital marketing tactics is done through the use of a campaign tracking code in a query string parameter, which is made up of a combination of tokens separated by a dash (“-“). 

    Analysis Overview:  

     Use a 4 token campaign tracking code in the query string parameter of a tactic URL to give insight into campaigns and digital tactics across advertising, email and social. Enforce a distinct list of granular values for three of those tokens and require a specific delimiter between the tokens so the code values can be parsed and grouped at higher levels. 

    Analysis Benefits:  

    1. To measure and optimize marketing campaigns
    2. To see detailed media referrer data for site visitors
    3. To find out how well digital marketing tactics are converting
