Events, clickstream data or hits (as they are known in the world of Google Analytics) are the building blocks of all marketing analytics suites. In the past they have been processed and aggregated into prefabricated reports before we interact with them. With compute and storage costs dropping, using these raw hits suddenly becomes a viable and powerful option. They require some extra leg work to use but in return offer some great advantages including the ability to reprocess the data as many times as you see fit.

Every report, analysis, statistical method, and amazing technical innovation eventually winds up in the hands of a human person who must incorporate what has been produced into their decision making process. Sounds simple, right? Successful transmission and uptake of the results of analysis is crucial not just for leveraging data effectively but the long term success of the analyst and the programs they cherish. Let's dig into this a bit and see if we can identify some opportunities. And yes, this will include talking about emotions. How does that make you feel?

Have you ever been at a loud party, or a bar, and you suddenly pick out your name being said by your friend down the end of the bar? Your brain exists to find the signal in the noise and pluck out personalized experiences. It's rooted deep in our psychology, and our need for control and to reduce information overload, but at the core... it's just how our brains physically work. There are a number of (expensive) systems that can help you employ personalization on your website, but did you know you could use personalization techniques on your site essentially overnight using free tools, and get some pretty insane results? Using free Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, we helped one client increase their conversion rate by 32X (from 1% to 32%) using free tools, without even having to go through their developers.

Stéphane is a veteran of Superweek and each year he brings a forward-looking topic which challenges the way we do our work - he brought us his famous digital analytics maturity model and the radical analytics manifesto, and last year he scared the sh*t out of us by demonstrating how machine learning could be leading us closer to an impeding doomsday. This year, Stéphane will continue where he left last year and dig into real-life examples of questionable ethics and malpractice which will hopefully make you think about your limits and where the red line is for you, as an analyst and as a consumer.

Recent changes in how web browsers handle client-side state have unveiled something that many have known for a long time: first-party storage (cookies, localStorage, etc.) is unreliable.
