Marketing Insights Dashboard
Challenge: Marketing staff lose hours stitching numbers across separate tools
Impact: Late insight >> gut-feel budget calls >> wasted spend, missed pipeline, weak ROI proof
Goal: One weekly view of trends plus a short, prioritised action list.
Solution: Unified dashboard—sample data in this build; live connectors when ready.
Tech: Astro, React, Recharts, Tailwind.
Potential Applications: Founders and marketing leads, agencies doing weekly client reviews, growth teams standardising their reporting rhythm.
Dashboard
TikTok (organic)
18.1kviews / wk
Engagement rate 5.6%
Instagram Reels
10.2kviews / wk
Engagement rate 4.4%
YouTube Shorts
6.9kviews / wk
Engagement rate 3.7%
Engagement trend (combined view)
Lines show weekly engagement rate. Shaded bands mark the week-to-week transitions where the gap between platforms widens most (divergence) or tightens most (convergence), based on engagement spread (max − min across the three lines).
Weekly reach by platform (stacked)
Stacked bars show how raw view volume mixes across sources. The shaded band marks the week-to-week interval with the largest total reach gain (sum of the three stacks).
Estimated watch time by platform
Total hours watched per week (dummy estimates). The shaded band marks the interval where combined watch hours grew fastest relative to combined views—i.e. average watch depth improved the most (stickier sessions vs. raw reach).
| Less than obvious insights | Possible responses |
|---|---|
Engagement is up while TikTok’s share of views is flat—likely deepening attention from the same people, not cold reach. Retargeting may outperform net-new spend. |
|
Reels views jumped recently without more posts—the feed may be testing wider distribution. Keep creative consistent so wins don’t read as random one-offs. |
|
Shorts engagement grew but views are still the smallest slice—typical YouTube pattern: subs and watch-time before browse opens. Check AVD vs peers if you track it. |
|
TikTok vs Shorts engagement gap is widening—often narrative drift (fun vs teach). Unify the core hook; change packaging per platform. |
|
If saves run high but comments stay quiet (check off-dashboard), people may be bookmarking—not debating. Trade-off prompts can unlock discussion without tanking reach. |

Suggested next steps
| Priority | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| P1 — High | Move ~20% of acquisition budget to retargeting and owned follow-ups for two weeks. | Engagement is climbing without TikTok gaining share of views—signals depth with existing audiences; reallocating spend matches that pattern before scaling cold traffic. |
| P2 — Medium | Document the hook + format of top Reels this week and clone the structure (not the topic) twice. | Reels acceleration without more posting usually means algorithmic lift; codifying what worked reduces variance when the tailwind fades. |
