Digital Analytics and KPIs

Most marketing departments understand the importance of measuring and analyzing key results, particularly from campaigns. But the art of what and how to measure and report based on end goals may not always be clear in some functions. Because many departments leave their reporting to analysts trained in Google Analytics or pulling reporting from various platforms, there can be disconnects between what measurements are helpful to track and which are simply vanity metrics that get reported on but have little actionable value.

It’s nice to say “we track everything,” but in reality, few decision makers have the ability or the time to go through all the reporting that could be put together. At Marketing Nice Guys, our training focuses on helping you define the metrics that matter based on overall goals, enabling you to understand what’s working. We’ll provide the critical how-tos, whether it’s setting up and pulling reports from Google Analytics or how to use data visualization.
