This workshop is designed to teach you to understand and trust your analytics data – then most importantly – use that information to strategically grow recruitment, retention and engagement,” said Becky Vardaman, Vice President of Strategy at Converge Consulting.
The workshop is recommended for anyone tasked with making data-driven decisions about marketing, even if they are brand new to web analytics. Past attendees have included executives looking for an understanding of the capabilities of the tool, technical team members looking to coordinate with marketing efforts, and marketing team members looking for hands-on training in execution, reporting and what’s coming next.
The workshop blends facilitator-led presentation with hands-on training and question-and-answer sessions. Participants will receive a certificate of completion for each day of training.
The workshop fee is $500 and there is a group rate available. Seats are limited.
