Daniel Robertson: Data analytics for social impact
Ever more flexible and powerful, the data visualisation landscape is also increasingly complex. If you are lost with data visualisation/BI tools, I can help you to get started.
In this analytics blog I shed some light on the features and capabilities of two lead data viz players: Google Data Studio and Microsoft Power BI.
I’m please to announce that, in partnership with my client Blue17, we’ve put together a new case study on web analytics and conversion rate optimisation.
Blue17 provide quality upcycled vintage fashion. Our work together encapsulates many aspects of digital analytics for ecommerce, including tagging, conversion analysis, CRO, and website development.
I’ve been working on a few analytics tool comparison projects lately, utilising my experience across web analytics, CRO (conversion rate optimisation), and data visualisation/BI.
I thought I’d kick off a series of posts with one of the most direct and action-oriented uses of analytics: CRO.
The current crisis is tough on everyone. I recognise that even in the good times, charities, non-profits, and NGOs can struggle to fund, deliver, and justify their essential work.
We’ve all suffered losses in business, funding, and activity (not to mention the terrible human toll of Covid-19), so I’ve decided to offer some pro bono consultancy to any charities large or small who would like to explore the potential of data analytics.
Charities are undergoing digital and data transformations with increasing pace.
My new case study, courtesy of Scottish Book Trust, explores some of the data analytics work we did following the launch of their new website. We worked with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Firebase, BigQuery, and Google Data Studio to structure and improve their insight.
Our work together encapsulates web and mobile app analytics, as well as looking at the wider measurement and optimisation strategy for Scottish Book Trust as an organisation.
