- What is your job is depends on:What company do you work for?What maturity stage is your company at?How much money/time you have to invest and test
- 90% people / 10% technology is only for Google…but well spiritedTechnologyPeopleOpportunityAre projects pre-baked or responsive
- Don’t think like the marketing guy. That is a general statement. The marketing guy might have been the person that hired you. But sometimes there is that person in the organization whom will consistently try to muck your story up…“Hey look at those Visitors flying up …. Man those campaigns are working” ---- when in reality the revenue from this new lift has tanked (refrence WT scorecard!)“I am not overly concerned with the poor conversions. This was a branding campaign and I am much more concerned with the long-term effects, and look …. Traffic is going up!” Don’t get upset with this statement, just start planning for this dude’s job. Accountability is key in these times and you are that key. Once you get this obstacle start to place context such as Cost per Visitor, the CPC cost in comparison to the CPM cost on top of the average display CPM.“I don’t trust these numbers”. Listen Jack, I can run the numbers all day and probably come up with something a bit different … but this figure and that figure ALWAYS go down. So, we can ignore the problem or create new ones? Seriously, data accuracy is an issue. You will lose credibility slowly if you fight this issue too much, however if you continue to focus on the STORY not the data itself, you might just avoid this issue.OK, my goals are changing …. Welcome to corporate america. At least this time you are around when the goals are created!
- End with something unexpected … or at least something that people can take away. You don’t have to show your work to get talked about. Sometimes it only takes a sentence (or a stupid 10sec comment on a national awards show).
- Segment your data as much as possible. Don’t take a visitor as face value, break them down into small chunks to show how each scenario is being represented. Then …
- Don’t just take a rise in traffic for granted. Look at how the industry is performing. Is this a key trend? Did we get lucky? Will this die tomorrow? Upon face value an increase of traffic from certain keywords could look great. But, look at the industry. Did that keyword jump in popularity. Did a chance new story give you an uptick?
- Combine this with a completely different data source to provide more relevance. In this case, take those Visitors and display it as a percentage of reach. This may be the reach of a city, demographic, campaign, etc.

- So what SHOULD? you be focusing on?The best stories come out of deep investigative reporting. It is how Watergate was finally uncovered! Ask the general questions Who, How, What Where over and over again. This is how insights and areas of improvement are found. It takes moving a mountain to all of a sudden increase sales by 10% … but by recommending a change here and a change there … and avoiding that “redesign” and “gut feeling” you can get closer each time.Don’t be daunted by the data surrounding you. Utilize it to tell a better story.
