Hello L.A.Marketing Analytics Group!Apryl DeLancey, President & CEO of Social Age Media

Goals
✤ “ We need a Periscope strategy”
✤ “ We need to humanize our brand by providing live, behind-the-scenes video content”
5
What’s Important?
✤ If all of it is important, none of it is important
✤ Which metrics/KPIs tell the story or measure progress toward the goal?
10
Unnecessary Complexities
✤ We know how to make an ARIMA model, let’s do it
✤ We can find out if our followers like red or white wine
✤ We can get all of the verbatims from a social media platform in the appendix and analyze them
✤ There is no prize for confusing your audience
12
Facebook Engagement by Country
✤ The number of US individuals is in blue and the number of individuals from Spain is in red, note the rise in US engagement.
✤ When Social Age Media took over there was a substantial amount of individuals from Spain engaging with the content, almost as many as US consumers.
✤ The account was talking to the Spanish consumers so we changed the tone completely to match US interests.
✤ Now, the Facebook account is talking directly to the US market and they are talking back by engaging with the account at unprecedented rates with the largest cities in the country most engaged: Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Chicago.

Summary
✤ Start with your goals
✤ Decide which metrics report on progress toward those goals
✤ Keep in mind that most everything boils down to awareness, engagement and conversion in the marketing world
✤ Avoid analysis paralysis - when someone doesn’t know what they’re doing they throw all the data and lots of graphs at you, don’t be THAT analyst
✤ Remember: data has no feelings, it won’t be sad if you leave some of it out
✤ Occam’s Razor is a data scientist’s best friend
✤ Give every piece of data the “so what?” or “who cares?” test
✤ Use an appendix if you must, but keep that to important data as well
✤ Visualize, visualize, visualize - it will help you make decisions
✤ Before you try to deal with big data make sure you completely understand the right data
