Episode 40: John Grimshaw, Co-Founder @ Digital Strategy Boot Camps on Sifting Through Vanity Metrics to Focus on Data That Matters

Episode

As digital marketers, we understand the blessing and curse of Google Analytics. More data is essential for your marketing strategy, but if you don’t know what to do with it, there’s no traffic and certainly no conversion.

In this episode, John Grimshaw, co-founder of Digital Strategy Boot Camps, explains how to filter metrics, what to do with the data, and how automation is the future of useful data tools.
