The Mobile–Desktop Divide's Measurement Impact

This roundtable explores how B2B teams can use modern demand strategies, B2C channels, and incrementality testing to prove true ad impact in 2026. The conversation highlights omni-channel expansion beyond LinkedIn, data-driven measurement, and practical ways to validate lift across pipeline and revenue.

Speakers and Roles
Matt Sciannella – Host and practitioner running paid media for multiple B2B clients; shares real client use cases, lift results, and practical frameworks for measurement and experimentation.
Keith Putnam-Delaney – CEO of Primer; former Dropbox growth leader; expert in B2B expansion into B2C channels, audience targeting, mobile–desktop measurement problems, match rates, and lift testing.
Authority: Both speakers bring hands-on experience running B2B paid programs at scale and deep insight into attribution limits, ABM constraints, and cross-channel growth strategies.

Topics Covered

• Rising costs and saturation in traditional B2B channels (LinkedIn, Google).

• Why B2B brands must expand into B2C channels like Meta, YouTube, Reddit, TikTok.

• Mobile vs. desktop measurement gaps and cross-device limitations.

• Signal loss, attribution decay, and the need for server-side events.

• How to validate true impact using lift tests and incrementality.

• CPM efficiency comparisons across channels.

• ABM unbundling and alternatives to large, monolithic ABM platforms.

• Using holdout groups, geographic lift, and omnichannel testing strategies.

• Real client examples showing lift in inbound, share of search, and revenue.

• How audience targeting tools unlock TAM expansion outside LinkedIn.
