Data Science (BigQuery)
Campaigns are running across Google, Meta, your CRM, and more. The reports are there, but they rarely align. GA4 says one thing, your ad platforms another, and somewhere in a spreadsheet, someone’s trying to reconcile them all. Sound familiar? It’s a common issue. And it’s not your team’s fault.
Marketing platforms generate more data than ever, but without structure and connectivity, that data stays stuck in silos. It becomes harder to analyse, harder to trust, and harder to act on.
BigQuery isn’t just another tool, it’s an infrastructure solution that connects, standardises, and activates your data. But even the best tools need expert implementation. That’s where Bliss comes in. We configure and optimise BigQuery specifically for marketers, transforming disconnected reports into meaningful, real-time insights.
Why Marketing Reports Keep Letting You Down
You have the platforms, the dashboards, and the metrics, but when it comes to clear, confident decision-making there’s missing. Most marketing teams work with data spread across GA4, CRMs, ad platforms, and social media accounts. Each platform is mostly accurate within its own system, but none show the full picture. This leads to:
- Conflicting KPIs from different sources
- Gaps in attribution, particularly across channels or devices
- Time-consuming manual exports and spreadsheet work
- Reactive decisions made on limited visibility
- Speed as gathering data from each platform can be extremely slow and can change overtime due to data restrictions, retentions and attribution (BigQuery is ultra-fast and has advanced caching built for big data)
Without an integrated view, even the best campaigns can be misjudged or undervalued. Data becomes something to manage rather than a resource to leverage.
Why Standard Tools May Fall Short
Marketing stacks are often built piece by piece; Analytics, CRM, ad platforms, etc. While each platform serves a function, most don’t communicate effectively with each other.
Platform | What it Does Well | Where it Falls Short |
GA4 | Tracks behaviour on site/app | Difficult to connect to offline or CRM data |
CRM (e.g. HubSpot) | Manages lead/customer interactions | Lacks campaign attribution or session context |
Ad Platforms | Tracks ad engagement and spend | Offers only channel-specific views |
Spreadsheets | Offers flexibility | Manual, error-prone, lacks scale or live updates |
Combining these sources manually creates bottlenecks, resulting in delayed reports and lost insights. And your marketing strategy risks being built on partial truths. The real problem isn’t with the tools, it’s with the disconnect between them.
BigQuery Translates Data into Decisions
BigQuery is Google Cloud’s enterprise-grade data warehouse. For marketers, it offers something very practical: a single, secure place where all your data sources come together, ready to analyse, visualise, and act on. At its core, BigQuery:
- Connects data from GA4, ad platforms, CRM, and more
- Structures and unifies information for accuracy and scale
- Supports SQL queries and built-in machine learning for forecasting and segmentation
- Enables live dashboards that reflect current performance across touchpoints
With the right configuration, BigQuery removes the guesswork from campaign optimisation. You see what’s driving outcomes, you identify what needs refining, and you gain the ability to act, not just observe.
