“There has been big news about, Oh, there is no toilet paper. I agree. If you go to the big names, it wasn't there. I went to the local shops, and they had racks full of it. Why? Because corporate supply chains are finely tuned towards a certain goal: NOT to meet the customer needs, but to source toilet roll from wherever possible as long as they make that profit, that's where it stops. No profit, no roll.” This is a conversation with Raj Balasundaram. Raj is a Digital Marketing Evangelist and Artificial Intelligence Marketing aficionado. He is a tech storyteller, mentor and teacher simplifying complex digital challenges into common sense. In this episode, Raj talks about how AI is used in our supply chains to ensure profits for the retailers and why this meant that for a period of time we had no toilet roll. He makes a strong call for change and why this is important for our supply chain resilience and our planet.

"We didn't let tools define what we wanted to do. We figured out what the business value is and then we created a data existence that allowed us to answer those questions.” A sense of awe runs throughout this episode with Avinash Kaushik, one of the godfathers of web analytics. Avinash is a data visualization expert and Digital Marketing Evangelist at Google and takes a step back with us to wonder at the magic of the Internet while delving into how data can better serve businesses. Avinash has maintained Occam’s Razor, one of our favorite blogs, since 2007, and has been encouraging us to reimagine how we gain business insights from the massive amounts of data laid at our feet in modern times. He speaks about the practitioner’s role in data analysis and how having access to every possible data point doesn’t make humans smarter; it can often lead us astray or paralyze us without the proper analysis. And for those of you who are interested in making a career in digital marketing, Avinash is the person to listen to. He tells us why one of the most future-proof professions will prove to be data analytics and the number one personality trait that will make a person great at it.

Johan Johansson. Att hitta guld i en komplex värld. Det är det som är digital analys menar analytikern Johan Johansson. Var ska jag lägga min digitala marknadsföring? Hur söker studenter till universitet år 2017? Samla in digitala data och analysera dem. Egentligen går det inte att arbeta digitalt utan att analysera. Vilka når jag, hur många är de, vilken effekt har min kommunikation. Vill du minimera kostnad, maximera vinst, göra användarna nöjdare? Hur mycket kostar anställdas letande efter information på intranätet? Bra analys ger underlag till att fatta smartare beslut! Räkna på effekten och kommunicera den. Driv förändring! Utmaningen är inte att få in data, utmaningen är att analysera rätt saker och sedan göra nåt med resultatet. Johan ger dig en steg-för-steg-introduktion i vad som ger effekt i arbetet med digital analys.

I was invited there to give the keynote address for Haystack Digital Marketing's Digital Summit At Mountain View, which took place at the Googleplex.

Welcome to episode #329 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. It's hard to believe that Avinash Kaushik didn't turn his blog post, Facebook Advertising / Marketing: Best Metrics, ROI, Business Value, into a book. He should have. This one is a whopper. Over 10,000-plus words (and yes, do whatever it takes to make the time read it). What's interesting is that Avinash is the Digital Marketing Evangelist at Google. This doesn't mean that he only evangelizes for Google. He evangelizes about digital marketing. The blog post was so powerful, I was compelled to have him back on the show to talk about Facebook marketing and what the true opportunity is for brands and agencies. The best-selling business book author of Web Analytics - An Hour A Day and Web Analytics 2.0 doesn't disappoint. Take a listen and enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #286 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. It's a New Year... so what does that mean? Well, if you ask Avinash Kaushik (the Digital Marketing Evangelist at Google and author of the best-selling business books, Web Analytics - An Hour A Day and Web Analytics 2.0), us Digital Marketers are going to be doing more... a whole lot more in the coming year(s). As big and fast as Social Media has changed the way that brands engage with consumers, things are going to evolve all that much more as location, mobile and more converge in this massive evolution. There's no doubt that both Avinash and I are bullish on these new opportunities, so you're going hear a lot of excitement and agreement on this episode, but it's also filled with our passion and desire to see our industry change and evolve at a much quicker pace. Please allow me to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very healthy and Happy New Year. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #257 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. When will the Marketing Dinosaurs die? When will those who hold the keys to marketing power truly start shifting their ways to not only embrace these new Digital Marketing channels, but to use them to unleash the most power form of Marketing that has ever been created?
