It’s true that there’s a LOT of misinformation out there about Analytics. It can be hard to dig through all the content out there for the right path to take.

Thankfully, we have a true expert on the show today. Annie Cushing has spent over 10 years mastering, practicing and teaching analytics. In this episode she distills down her expertise into easy explanations – so you don’t have to spend hours upon hours wondering what direction to take.

For example, Annie will teach you the exact way to tag your paid social media ads (hint: don’t use ‘cpc’!), and where to go to easily set up simple dashboards that will give you more time to actually do marketing (and impress your boss).
