Measurelab has moved!
			Last Friday afternoon, instead of the usual <del datetime="2014-09-01T09:27:54+00:00">slacking off</del> hard work right up to the end of the day, Measurelab (and our good friends at <a href="http://www.brightlocal.com/">Brightlocal</a>) were emptying cupboards and bookshelves, taking the legs off desks and disposing of never-watered plants, in preparation to load all the&nbsp;gear into cars and bus it down the road to the new office! Measurelab Manor has served well for the first year of so of Measurelab's existence (and my first 2 months of employment), but as we grow (<a href="http://measurelab2.wpengine.com/jobs/graduate-analytics-consultant/">graduate position still open for a few more weeks!</a>) we need more space, and so we've moved into the loft space above <a href="http://www.needlemakers.co.uk/">The Needlemakers</a> (our bit is called the The Old Candlemakers). This building is a former hypodermic needle factory and candle workshop - now filled with a cafe, shops and lots of interesting businesses (including ours).

Measurelab Towers has got bags of space (as you can see below), exposed beams and lovely views out over Lewes (above). Now we just need to get back to work and stop being distracted by the people hang-gliding off Mount Caburn.

Not because we don't believe in ourselves, but because these things feel so distant - until suddenly, they’re not. So, here it is: we’ve been awarded the Marketing Analytics Services Partner Specialisation in Google Cloud Partner Advantage. What’s the big deal? In Google’s own words (with the obligatory Zs): “Spec

BigQuery AI.GENERATE tutorial: turn SQL queries into AI-powered insights

BigQuery just got a major upgrade, you can now plug directly into Vertex AI using the new AI.GENERATE function. Translation: your analytics data and generative AI are now best friends, and they’re hanging out right inside SQL. That opens up a whole world of new analysis options for GA4 data, but it also raises some questions: * How do you actually set it up? * What’s it good for (and when should you avoid it)? * Why would you batch the query? Let’s walk through it step by step. Step 1: H

How to start forecasting in BigQuery with zero training

If you’d told me five years ago that I’d be forecasting product demand using a model trained on 100 billion time points… without writing a single line of ML code… I probably would’ve asked how many coffees you’d had that day ☕️ But its a brand new world. And it’s possible. Let me explain What is TimesFM? TimesFM is a new foundation model from Google, built specifically for time-series forecasting. Think of it like GPT for time, instead of predicting the next word in a sentence, it predicts t
