Business Challenge

But their data ecosystem was fragmented: ❌ Tealium iQ was implemented, but tracking was inconsistent ❌ No real-time event tracking using Tealium EventStream ❌ Tealium AudienceStream was not fully utilized ❌ Google Analytics 4 only showed basic engagement metrics ❌ Reporting was siloed — no unified dashboard Result: They were driving traffic but struggling to convert eligible patients into trial enrollments What We Found After a full-stack analytics audit: - 44% of users dropped off between eligibility check → form submission - No tracking for critical steps: - Eligibility questionnaire - Form progress - Submission success - No segmentation of: - Eligible vs non-eligible users - Campaigns were optimized for visits, not qualified patients Insight: They lacked real-time visibility and audience intelligence
