Marketing Campaign Performance Analysis
A marketing director hands you the budget and asks where to cut and where to double down. The analytical work is the easy part — the skill is *defending the recommendation* when the CMO says 'we tried that' and the CFO says 'show me the number first'. This project teaches both: build the reallocation proposal, then survive the conversation around it. Most analysts make recommendations. Mature analysts make recommendations that hold up under questioning.
What You Will Ship to GitHub
Hiring managers don't want to see another cookie-cutter Titanic or Iris tutorial. You will build a professional repository with modular scripts and executive business memos that demonstrate commercial analytical maturity.
What You Will Master
5 Guided Project Milestones
Set up your project repo
Before any analytical work: create a public GitHub repository, push the standard skeleton, and paste the URL into your workspace.
Audit current spend
Map where the marketing budget is actually going, with consistent definitions across channels and campaigns.
Find efficiency — which channels actually work
Core MilestoneIdentify under- and over-performers with thresholds for 'real signal' (not noise from small experiments).
Build the reallocation proposal
Concrete dollar amounts. Where to cut, where to add, what the expected impact is, what the risks are.
Defend the proposal — the pushback memo
Review Pass RequiredAnticipate the CMO's and CFO's objections, write the responses, ship as a portfolio piece.

"Audited 90 days of multi-channel ad spend ($50K+ across 4 channels) from a marketing PostgreSQL database; computed channel-level ROAS, CAC, and conversion rates with statistical-significance thresholds to filter noise."
Marketing Analyst
ROAS, CAC, channel-level efficiency, and budget reallocation are the bread-and-butter outputs of a marketing analyst. This project produces all four with stakeholder-defense thinking baked in.
Performance Marketing Analyst
The reallocation proposal + pushback memo demonstrates the political skill performance marketing actually needs — defending budget moves under CMO/CFO challenge.
Growth Marketer (analytical)
Growth roles increasingly expect analytical chops — the ability to compute channel ROAS, propose reallocations, and defend them is exactly the value-add.
