I had the pleasure of joining Jake Surrey on The Skeptical Marketer podcast - a conversation that challenges a few assumptions in our industry.
We talked data, of course. But not just the numbers and dashboards, but the foundations: how we collect it, what we assume about it, and the ethical blind spots we've normalized.
Among other things, we covered:
- Why GA4 seems designed more for compliance and serving Google more than you!
- How surveillance became standard marketing practice
- And what it would actually mean to take ethics seriously in digital marketing
This isn't a rant (well... you know me... maybe a little...). Hopefully, it's a call for a bit more honesty, and a bit less blind trust in the tools we use every day.
