Understand the science that drives your business
Data defines performance, however getting the data right is challenging. There are multiple channels, each with their own attribution models which means you’re comparing apples with oranges. Medium brings sense to the data which leads to confident decisions.
Key components to Data & Analytics
We employ a wide range of data & analytics tools and techniques.
Implement Event Tracking
Event tracking records user interactions with website elements such as clicks on links, form submissions, or interactions with video content.
It is important to set this up accurately so we can understand user behavior and website effectiveness throughout their purchase process.
Performance Dashboards
There are a number of data visualisation platforms that help us to view performance on one screen. For example Google’s Looker Studio is free and one we often use for our clients.
Setting up the right metrics at the outset is key to help effectively evaluate performance.
Marketing Technology
Technology is critical to help drive efficiencies. Once we have the right foundations in place with an effective Data Schema, we can then integrate this into the marketing platforms we are using.
Having the right foundations means accurate segments for a better user experience which will ultimately lead to more engagement and sales.
Review User Data
User data refers to specific user properties such as age, gender, location, interests, purchase history, device usage, and browsing behavior.
These are crucial for segmenting audiences, personalising marketing efforts and more.
Marketing Attribution
With the increasing regulations around data privacy, marketing attribution has to evolve to suit. Traditionally, we used last click, now we need to move to a data driven attribution model that treats each channel consistently.
We help to implement this model while also upskilling key stakeholders.
