#38 How do you measure the return on analytics?

This week Dan and Dara discuss a listener submitted topic on how to measure the return on analytics. After arguing about the flawed premise of the quest, they explore different ways that analytics specialists and analysts can measure a tangible return for their hard work.

The key ways that were discussed to measure the impact (or return if you will...) of analytics is via:

1. Optimising marketing campaign ROAS
2. Improving website/app CVR via testing and CRO programs
3. Product optimisation to reduce churn or improve engagement and thus LTV
4. Time saving via automation and trusting the data
5. Impartiality meaning that you can recommend the best course of action, even if it's not the most popular
6. Damage control - minimising negative impact when it's inevitable (i.e. COVID-19)
