3-hour course 
Certificate of Attendance 
Private From customer profiles to conversion statistics, organisations have a wealth of data at their disposal. But how many of them actually use that data to improve their marketing strategies and the experiences they offer their customers?
‘Data activation’ is a company’s ability not only to collect, store and analyse sales and customer data, but its capacity to act on that information in real time to make smarter, more effective decisions.
By the end of this three-hour workshop, you will have created an action plan for a first-party data activation pilot, based on a shared understanding of your organisation’s business objectives.
The content covered in this workshop is part of a range of courses known as Google Mini Labs, which have been developed by the Google Digital Academy. This Data Activation Workshop is offered as a private training session that can be delivered virtually or at a location of your choice in the UK.
