Summarising your performance and executives summaries
What is an executive summary?
An executive summary provides a concise overview of a document or a report. By condensing important information for key stakeholders within a business and includes key details crucial for decision-making.
A well-crafted executive summary follows a structured format by addressing the problem, recommending solutions, the value & impact and is backed up with supporting data. It offers stakeholders a bigger picture view and should be easily digestible by the reader.
What is Google Tag Manager and how is it used?
Google Tag Manager is a robust tag management system (TMS) that empowers you to efficiently update measurement codes and related code fragments (commonly known as tags) on your website or mobile app. This system facilitates the swift addition and modification of tags for conversion tracking, site analytics and remarketing tags. It supports a wide range of Google and third-party tags with additional templates within the community template gallery.
One of the key benefits of Google Tag Manager is its ability to significantly empower marketing teams by providing more control over the tagging process. Reducing the reliance on IT and development teams when implementing. Once the container code has been installed across the site, GTM enables you to deploy your tags or third party code to your site or App directly. The functionality also allows you to both test and then publish your tracking before deploying live to the site to ensure quality control when implementing your tracking.
What is Google Analytics 4 (GA4)?
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is an analytics service designed to track and measure user engagement across both websites and applications. Unlike Universal Analytics, GA4 shifts from session and cookie based tracking to an event based data collection approach, providing a deeper understanding of user interactions across a combined web and App journey if necessary. This allows for a more granular analysis of the customer journey, encompassing everything from engagement to retention and revenue generation.
In addition, GA4 incorporates enhanced controls such as cookieless measurement and advanced modelling of user behaviours and key events. With these capabilities, GA4 equips businesses and marketers with the tools needed to make informed and data-driven marketing decisions.
What is Looker Studio?
Looker Studio is Google’s free tool that transforms complex data into easy to read and informative dashboards. It allows users to create custom visualisations like line graphs, bar charts, pie charts and maps using a simple drag-and-drop editor. This tool provides interactive features such as filters and date range controls, which enhances the interpretability and interactivity of reports. With Looker Studio sharing insights is straightforward, enabling you to distribute your findings with teams or globally through embedded reports on various platforms or via scheduled emails.
