Crawl, Walk, Run : Advancing Analytics Maturity with Google Marketing Platform

In 2019, $130 billion was spent on digital advertising alone, as major retailers, consumer packaged goods companies (CPG), and media outlets embraced the ever-online customer. Despite these massive digital marketing budgets driving global ad campaigns, many marketers still lack the confidence to answer the age-old question: Is my campaign working?

Crawl, Walk, Run is your practical guide for navigating each stage of analytics maturity, taking you step-by-step through an analytics maturity framework to achieve greater efficiency and increased confidence in your marketing decisions. Alex Yastrebenetsky, Michael Loban, and contributors from the InfoTrust team (Amin Shawki, Andy Gibson, Ariel Opelt, Brad Prenger, Chris Vaughan, Kent Oldham, Lucas Long, Melanie Bowles, Pam Castricone, Tyler Blatt, and Stacey Shiring) discuss six focus areas in digital transformation, including how to choose the right platform, staff and upskill your team, and build effective processes. You’ll also learn why Google Marketing Platform dominates the industry, how elements like Google Analytics 360 and Google Optimize 360 work together, and how data governance is implemented to properly follow new privacy guidelines (such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA).Crawl, Walk, Run also includes a detailed chapter on App + Web properties, which serves as the basis of Google Analytics 4. In fact, Crawl, Walk, Run is the only book currently on the market (as of October 2020) that covers the key functionality of Google Analytics 4.
