I’ve been doing web analytics ever since the web came out. It was renamed “digital analytics” somewhere along the way and marketers were happy to get their 3D pie charts whenever they wanted—without talking to IT, of course. Some went as far as claiming it to be “data science”… We searched the Holy Grail of attribution, we were promised it would be found somewhere in the depth of Big Data swamps or so-called clean rooms. And now? AI, it must be AI! Did I waste over 30 years of my work life? Oh! It was fun! And I made a living out of it. Eventually, I jumped the fence and started advocating for privacy… After seeing my data being leaked multiple times and new loans popping up in my credit report like Las Vegas hookers on a Saturday night… The root cause: greedy marketers who thought more personal data was the only way to offer me more value I never asked for! Don’t get me wrong—I’m teaching marketing, digital analytics and data science! Market research, relevant data and core marketing concepts which will never die. The problem is great marketing has been hijacked by short-term instant gratification.
