Context

For a growth marketing agency, the ability to track where results come from isn't optional — it's the whole job. CultArk helps its clients develop strategies built around real data, which made the irony of its own tracking problem all the more pointed.

UTM parameters were in place on ads and forms, but the hidden fields meant to capture that data in HubSpot simply weren't working. Traffic was arriving. Campaigns were running. But the connection between the two existed only on paper. Without reliable source tracking, CultArk couldn't tell which campaigns were performing and which weren't — and that's a difficult position for a growth marketing firm to be in. RevX came in to fix it.



The challenge

CultArk's problem was specific and consequential. The UTM infrastructure was there in concept — parameters were being appended to URLs, forms had hidden fields designed to capture them — but the data wasn't making it into HubSpot. One broken link in that chain made the entire attribution system useless.

UTM parameters present but not being captured

The hidden fields built into CultArk's forms were supposed to automatically capture the UTM parameters attached to incoming traffic — recording the source, medium, and campaign behind every form submission. They weren't. The parameters existed in the URL, but the HubSpot fields receiving them weren't configured to pick them up correctly. The result was form submissions arriving in HubSpot stripped of the context that would have made them actionable — a steady inflow of contacts with no indication of where they'd come from.

A disconnect between marketing activity and CRM data

Because UTM data wasn't flowing into HubSpot, there was no reliable way to connect marketing campaign activity to the contacts and conversions it generated. Campaigns could be running effectively and generating real interest — or they could be underperforming — and there was no way to tell the difference. For an agency whose value proposition is built on growth driven by data, operating its own marketing without that feedback loop was a fundamental gap.

No basis for campaign optimization

Without source-level data in HubSpot, optimization was guesswork. Which ad was driving the best leads? Which channel was converting at the highest rate? Which campaign content was resonating with the right audience? These are the questions that separate effective growth marketing from expensive activity — and CultArk couldn't answer any of them reliably until its own tracking was working. 

Our solution

RevX diagnosed the configuration issue and rebuilt the UTM capture setup in HubSpot — ensuring the fields, the forms, and the parameters were all aligned so that traffic source data would flow cleanly from campaign to contact record.

HubSpot fields created and configured to capture UTM parameters correctly

RevX created the appropriate HubSpot fields and configured them to reliably capture UTM parameter data from incoming traffic. This involved ensuring the field mappings between the URL parameters and the HubSpot form hidden fields were set up correctly — a technical alignment that the previous configuration had missed. With the fields properly structured, UTM values could be read, stored, and associated with the right contact record automatically on every form submission.

UTM parameters verified and working across ads and forms

RevX ensured that UTM parameters were correctly implemented and functioning across CultArk's ads and landing page forms — not just in theory, but in practice. Each parameter was tested to confirm it was being passed through the URL and captured accurately in HubSpot. The end-to-end tracking chain that had been broken was rebuilt and validated, so that every future campaign interaction would leave a traceable record in the CRM. 

The impact

With UTM tracking working correctly, CultArk gained something it had been missing since adopting HubSpot: a reliable connection between its marketing activity and the data generated by it.

Campaign performance visible for the first time

CultArk could now track the success of each marketing campaign with confidence — seeing exactly which sources, channels, and campaigns were driving form submissions and generating contacts in HubSpot. The data that had been disappearing into a gap in the configuration was now flowing cleanly into the CRM, giving the team the attribution clarity it needed to assess what was working and make informed decisions about where to focus its efforts.

Specific, actionable data replacing assumptions

With UTM data populating correctly against contact records, CultArk moved from operating on broad assumptions about campaign performance to working with specific, granular data. Which ad drove the most qualified submissions. Which campaign content resonated. Which channel was worth scaling. Those questions now had answers — and answers grounded in the kind of robust, source-level data that a growth marketing agency should be building its decisions on.

An attribution infrastructure ready to support future growth

The fix wasn't just about recovering the data that had been missed — it was about establishing a tracking foundation that would work reliably going forward. Every campaign CultArk runs from this point will generate clean, attributable data in HubSpot. For an agency in the business of helping clients grow through smarter marketing, having its own house in order on attribution is both a practical necessity and a point of professional credibility.
