Creating A Data-Driven Culture – Data-informed decisions yield better results, but only if your organization — or clients — buy in. And data from different sources may be directionally the same, but not be identical – leaving you open to criticism from the bean counters and others in the organization. In this session, you’ll learn how to evangelize a disciplined, data-driven approach to managing search marketing campaigns to all key stakeholders in your organization.
