The Cloudy Future of Voice Analytics
Alexa...where does my Voice Search data go?
With the popularity of voice and voice-enabled devices, how challenging does it become for marketers to track Voice Search?

How the Cookie Crumbles: Apple Wages War on Marketers
When it comes to tech they will and won’t support, Apple isn’t afraid to fire the first shot. Remember when they removed CD drives from their laptops and headphone jacks from their iPhones? Or how about when they signed the death warrant for Adobe’s Flash?

Adobe vs. Google: The Analytics Showdown of the Century
Ah, the question that will haunt us marketing analysts in perpetuity: which tool is better, Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics?
A lot has changed for both platforms recently. They’ve been in the weight room, working on their composition.

The Evolution of Brand Positioning in the Information Age
Imagine this: You get on your laptop or mobile device and Google “bike brand reviews.” Normally, you don’t go past the first few results, and you almost never click to the next page. But this time you do. Eventually you reach the tenth results page, and once there, a fresh set of ten more pages populates, then ten more after that, and so on (mind you, this is just for bike reviews!).
What does this mean? Your search journey is essentially a microcosm of the age we find ourselves in as consumers, with access to incredible amounts of information for just about everything — the Information Age.
As far as the marketing world is concerned, this has incredible implications. The Information Age is altering the way marketers devise their strategies, most notably when it comes to positioning.
