Context you provide

• {{timeframe}}: The period to analyze (e.g., Q1 2024, last 12 months).

• {{data_sources}}: Where the data comes from (e.g., CRM, analytics platform).

Instructions

2. Analyze the marketing data for the specified timeframe and channels.
3. Identify channels with the highest and lowest ROI, considering metrics like CAC, conversion rate, and customer LTV.
4. Highlight patterns in customer engagement and demographics that explain performance differences.
