Some of the main key takeaways that I learned from Chapter 1 is that there are many different ways that data can fuel strategies and initiatives across enterprises. The examples that Chapter 1 discusses our business strategy and data strategy. Business strategy is essential because companies can pull consumer and industry data to learn how to market products to their target audience. Data strategy helps businesses focus on what’s important and ultimately helps them manage data as an asset. Along with business and data strategy, I also learned more about communication and media strategies. Communication strategies ensure a business sends the right messages to its target audience. Media strategy primarily revolves around creating a plan to communicate with the target audience on social media. Although I had previously learned these concepts, chapter 1 covered new concepts, including a discussion on digital media types (PESO). Another key component I learned about in Chapter 1 was web analytics, such as dashboard and advanced segmentation.
The book comprehensively covers concepts related to digital analytics concept in Chapter 2. At the beginning of the chapter, the book briefly discusses social metrics and divides them into two groups. Metrics can be generally defined as data points that inform a company how its channel is doing regarding engagement. Owned social metrics are related to any social channel a company uses to promote its brand or product.
