HockeyStack Implementation Process
Get started
Before you get started...
Most HockeyStack customers designate HockeyStack Admins to build out reports for the Marketing team, present insights, and manage the data dictionary.

If your organization doesn’t have a dedicated Admin Team, not to worry! The product doesn’t require any technical knowledge, and your CSM will always be available to guide you.

Their words, not ours.

“Our executives got more value from HockeyStack in one session than they got from Looker all year.”
Chris Wood, Director of Demand Generation
“We evaluated several vendors but chose HockeyStack for its reporting flexibility and customization and because we could get value out of it immediately. We were right. If I have a question, HockeyStack has the answer.”
Justin Brock, VP of Demand Generation
“Tying pipeline and revenue to marketing efforts has never been easier than with HockeyStack. This is a huge improvement from all attribution tools I’ve used.”
Elsa Giraudineau, Director of Demand Generation
“HockeyStack has put together a killer tool that pushes the limits of attribution for LInkedin ads better than any tool I’ve tried.”
Justin Rowe, Founder
“In HockeyStack, I’ve been able to identify over 2x more content-attributed opportunities that were previously missed.”
Levi Olmstead, Director of Content Marketing
“Incredible tool on my radar in this new role: HockeyStack and team have built an incredible analytics platform!”
Talar Malakian, VP of Marketing
"HockeyStack has shed a light on the dark funnel and given us freedom from GA, HubSpot Reports, and Manual Spreadsheets!”
Chris Spellman, Sr. Demand Generation Manager
“It's the best analytical tool I have ever used, bringing our analytic game to another level.”
Gabriel Barboza, Marketing Director
“Thanks to HockeyStack, i now have visibility that over the last month my LinkedIn organic posts impacted $27K in ARR.”
Casey Hill, Sr. Growth Manager
"Would you lose any sales if you paused branded search campaigns?If you stopped podcasting, would it matter? Only lift reports will tell you. It only takes minutes to do in HockeyStack."
Jason Widup, Founder
“We can connect all our data, attribute revenue to specific campaigns, and know where to invest more."
Cameron DeJong, Director of Marketing
“Dark social is getting lighter. Gotta give it up to HockeyStack for launching a partnership with Gong to track podcast mentions. Blows my mind that none of the other tools have done this.”
Tim Davidson, Director of Marketing
“Before HockeyStack, we didn’t have visibility into what was driving revenue. We now know which campaigns are actually working, how our blog or content is influencing and all that.”
Anand Nambiar, Head of Demand Generation
“I can understand how people felt when they first started using the internet. Apparently, we were flying blind up until HockeyStack; the amount of insights we get, both on the platform level and on the revenue level, is unmatched.”
Canberk Beker, Ex-Group Head of Paid at Cognism
“In HockeyStack, you can draw the connection between content marketing and conversion activity to find out which URLs drive customer acquisition.”
