This week Dan and Dara are joined by Rowenna Fielding "a warrior on the front line of the fight to defend humanity's rights and freedoms in an increasingly tech dystopia", and helps organisations stitch together technology, law and humanity to make stuff work the way they want it to. Rowenna helps Dan and Dara understand the legal differences between 1st vs. 3rd party, ePrivacy and GDPR, PII and PD, and what 'legitamite interest' is (or rather, is not). Listen to the end to hear Rowenna do a live audit of the Measurelab website...

Dan and Dara are back, and this week are discussing the recent update from Google Analytics where they are now enforcing their Data API quotas. Since 7th November 2022, Looker Studio reports that connect to Google Analytics 4 data are subject to GA4 Data API quotas. Reports that exceed these quotas will break, and Dan is more than annoyed...

This week Dan and Dara discuss the recent announcement that the sunsetting of GA360 has been pushed back 9 months to the 1st July 2024. The news comes bundled with other new feature announcements such as custom channel groupings, automatic GA4 property creation and native bidding in DV360. What does this mean, why did they do it, and what now? These are some of the questions Dan and Dara discuss.

This week Dan and Dara are joined by Ellen Cole - an award-winning Marketing, PR and Social Media marketer with a focus on inclusivity and accessibility in digital.

This week Dan and Dara are joined by Stacey Harper, a fellow GA4 expert and trainer! They discuss war stories, hidden features and the huge importance of a migration strategy/plan for migrating to GA4. And remember, never ever push the 'UA events in GA4' button!

This week Dan and Dara are joined by JJ Reynolds to chat about the recent rebranding of Data Studio to Looker Studio and what it means for the rest of us. They share many 'hot takes' on where they think this change came from, and where they think it'll go in the future.

Katie talks though the process of putting together her presentation and getting up and speaking in front of a croud for the very first time. They also run through the talk content around why everyone using GA4 should get onboard with BigQuery asap!

This week Dan and Dara react and discuss the recent announcement of the schema changes in the Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Data API. Are Google going backwards by (re)introducting scope compatibility, or is this what was always missing and will now help the transition from Universal Analytics?

This week Dan and Dara reflect on the current state of play with Google Analytics 4 (GA4), with migrations being a hot topic at the moment for Measurelab. But they try to also look beyond purely the migrations, and discuss what they think might be coming around the corner for GA4 - especially when Universal Analytics (UA) is turned off in July 2023.

This week Dan and Dara chat with Jim Sterne and chat about his long and illustrious career in digital. They talk about how the Digital Analytics Association was formed off the back of the Marketing Analytics Summit meetups, how he's managed to publish 12 books, and what exaclt an analytics cohort is exactly. Be sure to listen to the end to find out why Jim is a "goofy footer from the days of steel wheels", and what theat even means!
