3:39 A quick example from Boom by Cindy Joseph.
5:09 How to go about this process (no intimidation required).
6:44 “When you start to split data out, you can find out what’s going on, right? It’s kind of isolating what the signal is from the noise. If you look at all of your campaigns in total, you don’t necessarily notice, so splitting it out at this high-level breakdown between awareness and retargeting is a great strategy.” John Grimshaw.
7:16 Numbers to look at and ‘drill down’ metrics.
12:11 The secret to being a good analyst.

18:51 “Create a regular schedule for how you’re going to look at this. I think diving in and auditing what’s going on, not just in your Facebook ads, but in your email, on your website, with your content, it’s going to be one of the best ways to find out what is working in your business and Hey, what’s not working – that you should do less of.” John Grimshaw.
