IAB Ireland Analytics Workshop
A one day workshop, for intermediate users, for those working in a marketing function for brand organisations and advertising agencies.
Delegates should have an understanding of application of webanalytics software, eg Google Analytics, Adobe Omniture to measure users and digital campaign performance.
The workshop will consider using analytics to understand your customers through the consumer purchasing journey, how they engage with your digital portfolio and how to manage your digital marketing activities across the owned, paid and earned media channels.
The workshop will introduce delegates to the latest thinking in digital performance management.
Delegates will be given insight into practical examples with sessions from guest speakers. The workshop is not a training course in the operational use of webanalytics software such as Google Analytics or Adobe Omniture.
The course is facilitated by Steve Thompson, Digital Media Consultant and Trainer (see Steve’s bio below) and Steve recently wrote a blog post on Analytics; “Measuring what matters, making Analytics count”
