Program Overview
This program follows a deliberate progression that mirrors real-world team operations: understanding the ecosystem, extracting signal, telling persuasive stories, and driving next actions. The structure reflects how teams actually work — with fragmented data sources, varying tool fluency, and constant pressure to translate numbers into compelling client stories.

Session 1
The Client's World: Data Capture, Attribution & Why Numbers Disagree
Build a shared mental model of how advertising data is captured, attributed, and reported — across TikTok and the client's stack — so that every data conversation starts from credibility, not defensiveness.
Core Topics
  • Pixel, Events API, and SDK: how TikTok captures data
  • iOS 14+ impact on signal loss and attribution accuracy
  • Attribution windows and why they create discrepancies
  • MTA vs. MMM
  • First-party vs. third-party data
  • Measurement ecosystem: MMPs, Google Analytics, Adobe, Rockerbox, Tealium, Nielsen, Comscore, IRI
Key Insight
TikTok frequently over-indexes on performance internally relative to client MMP reporting. The goal is to explain this confidently — not defend it reactively.
"A big push for us has been source-of-truth documentation and ingestion." — Whitney
Outcome
Understand where TikTok fits inside a client's full measurement stack, why numbers don't always match, and how to proactively frame those differences.
Session 1 Homework
Audit a Live Account
Apply the session's mental model directly to a real account — identifying the client's source of truth, mapping TikTok data sources against client MMP data, and documenting where and why discrepancies appear.
