The Digital Analytics Power Hour

Attend any conference for any topic and you will hear people saying after that the best and most informative discussions happened in the bar after the show. Ready any business magazine and you will find an article saying something along the lines of “Business Analytics is the hottest job category out there, and there is a significant lack of people, process and best practice.” In this case the conference was eMetrics, the bar was….multiple, and the attendees were Michael Helbling, Tim Wilson and Jim Cain. After a few pints and a few hours of discussion about the cutting edge of digital analytics, they realized they might have something to contribute back to the community. Between the three of them you’ll find over 50 years of combined experience in Digital Analytics, Web Technology, Business Intelligence & Management Consulting. You’ll also find a group of guys that compete with each other for business, but respect each other enough to share best practices and ideas (and the odd insult). Each episode is a closed topic and an open forum - the goal is for listeners to enjoy listening to Michael, Tim and Jim share their thoughts and experiences and hopefully take away something to try at work the next day. We hope you enjoy listening to the Digital Analytics Power Hour*. *Due to the Canadian Exchange Rate, the Digital Analytics Power hour is only 40 minutes.

They say a picture is worth a thousand terabytes of data (probably). If you are a regular listener of the podcast, you will know proper communication isn't our strongest suit, so we brought in a hitter. Lea Pica joins us in this episode to talk about communication best practices, and how they are even more important for an analyst than other roles in the organization. Got sixty minutes to listen and learn? We'll take it, and give you fifteen minutes back.

It's a nasty rumor, but we heard that there are a couple of domains out there on the interwebs that are not pure play eCommerce or online lead gen sites. Why, there are government sites and nonprofit sites and CPG sites and academic institution sites and content sites and more! What is a poor digital analyst to do in the absence of a clear online conversion to measure and optimize towards? Give this less-than-two-thirds-of-an-hour episode a listen to hear our multinational and ruggedly good looking co-hosts wax eloquently (or, at least, wax) on the subject.
