I have tools that work with sites to analyze and parse data that comes to a site

say I had it installed on the coli...

I could tell you how much money everyone has here, who have been looking to buy what, and their physical addresses/emails/phone numbers

to a site owner that does numbers, this is huge. It also takes me away from project-based work which has been the biggest pain in the ass so far (web development and graphic design jobs etc)


Data analytics :leon:

Ill have to read through the thread and see whats going on.


Not help but insight. What does your day to day look like?

Really depends on the day.

For the most part arrive around 840am, start peeping emails, trafficking creative assets that are due to vendors, requesting campaign updates, google analytics and DCM to ensure everything is running smooth.

Put together a few new plans for clients that have continuous RFPs (instead of a general campaign theres a bunch of campaigns that occur with different audiences and locations.

Take vendor meetings and calls, start reporting documents, signing orders coming in and billing.

Setting up paid social campaigns, social influencer campaigns etc.

Then theres periods of time every couple of quarters where you have RFPing and planning. Basically planning budgets for the next year and where we will allocate the funds, what tactics we need to use to take the campaign to the next level.

Crimson and sysomos for social listening
Simmons for research
Google analytics for campaigns
DCM for campaigns
Hootsuite for socials
I work through multiple DSPs tho and we tend to do managed service so we use vendors and they deal with the bulk of the data

In the future we should all probably chat.

I have a coworker who does her own thing on the side and makes more than what she makes at the agency on her own, shes really only staying as a favor at this point.

Someone wants to hire me as their marketing assistant. But it’s more about outreach, answering inquiries, etc

Are there any tips any of you can give me to excel at this position. I’m well versed in e-commerce but outside of fb and google ads, I didn’t do much marketing. So cold calling isn't something I’m used to. Plus outside of base pay, every deal we close, I get a commission.
