Unalytics: Unconventional Analytics to Guide Your Decisions

  • 2SHARES

What kind of person is “good” at analytics? It’s time to change our opinion of what a “data scientist” is. If you are involved in the care and feeding of an online marketing endeavor, you have to be good at this “data thing.”

Fortunately, this doesn’t mean that you put on your lab coat and pocket protector and spend endless hours combing through data, charts and spreadsheets.

That IS the job of the data scientist. No, you are more of a data detective, finding data to guide your decisions in unexpected places.

  • Live chat transcripts.
  • Ratings and reviews from your site or from Yelp.
