Example Output
Example 1: Executive Summary from Raw Data
Q3 Marketing Performance: Driving Revenue While Cutting Spend
The Situation: Q3 marketing spend increased 8% YoY despite a company-wide budget freeze.
What It Means: This wasn't reckless spending—it was strategic. Our digital campaigns drove 34% of new enterprise deals (vs. 22% last year), with CAC down 12%. The 8% spend increase returned 210% revenue lift.
What You Should Do: (1) Expand the digital-first playbook to 3 new verticals in Q4; (2) Increase product marketing headcount from 3 to 5 FTE; (3) Reallocate print budget to LinkedIn.
Example 2: Data-Driven Business Case
Raw metrics: Customer churn 4.2%, NPS 52, support cost per ticket $87
Narrative frame: We're losing customers we can't afford to lose, and support costs are eating profitability. The root cause: onboarding takes 3 weeks. New customers experience steepest churn within weeks—exactly when support tickets spike. By investing in onboarding automation ($120K), we reduce first-month churn 40% and support cost per ticket 25%, recovering the investment in 6 months while improving retention fundamentals.
