Richard Smith

"It's truly game-changing to reboot what a managed service offering can deliver for clients and agencies — by focusing on the user experience, and the causation of consumer behavioural change and brand interaction."

Richard Smith UK & Europe Lead, Causal

Causal Attribution & Measurement

Moving beyond outdated, correlation-based last-click attribution to causal attribution that reveals what genuinely drives incremental growth — combining Marketing Mix Modelling and Incrementality Testing to apply a "truth layer" to granular performance data.

Programmatic & Digital Advertising Strategy

Full-service programmatic solutions staffed by digital marketing experts — building strategies aligned to each client's vertical, target audience and campaign goals, designed to keep customers moving through the purchase funnel.

Marketing Mix Modelling & Incrementality

Time-series modelling that estimates the true ROI of each channel and campaign, identifying the incrementality factor behind ad-platform-reported ROAS — helping brands cut through noise, avoid false signals, and eliminate unprofitable spend.

UK & European Managed Services

Hands-on managed service delivery for clients and agencies across the UK and major European markets — led by Richard Smith, drawing on a background spanning publishing, audio, Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) and AdTech to bring causal thinking to every client relationship.

Causal is a leading provider of advanced digital advertising and causal marketing measurement solutions, helping brands move beyond outdated, correlation-based attribution models toward a true understanding of what drives consumer behaviour and incremental growth. The platform combines causal attribution, marketing mix modelling and programmatic strategy into a single, data-driven offering for innovative marketers.

In October 2024, Causal announced its expansion into the UK market, with Richard Smith joining to lead the region and scale operations across major European markets. Richard is based in London and brings a diverse background spanning publishing, audio, Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) and AdTech — experience that informs Causal's focus on the user experience and the causation of consumer behavioural change and brand interaction.

Causal's approach addresses a costly industry-wide problem: more than 90% of marketers continue to rely on last-click attribution models that distort performance by over- or under-crediting channels, contributing to over $100 billion in wasted marketing spend each year. By layering causal insight onto granular attribution data, Causal helps brands and agencies allocate budget with confidence and clarity.
