10 Tips for the Next Generation of Digital Analysts
Back on October 18, the 2nd Annual DAA Philadelphia Symposium was held, and so far the responses have been great. The theme of this year’s symposium was “The Next Generation of Analytics Optimization.” We had a number of great speakers, panel discussions, sponsors, etc. We discussed common themes within the digital analytics environment such as Tag Management, leveraging Statistics, utilizing Predictive modeling, and of course Big Data.
The one thing that we didn’t do was provide the next generation of Digital Analysts with tips to break into the industry or progress toward the next level of analytics optimization.
With that being said, below are my Top Ten Tips for individuals aspiring to become analysts:
