Editor's Notes
- #3: I’m here as an interview candidate and this is my 2 nd interview. We’re having this sesssion because Angkea noticed that I’d done a Google Analytics 101 presentation for GA events in both Singapore and KL and hoped that it would be beneficial for the team.
- #4: Introduction – Let’s introduce ourselves before we kick this off. I’ll start. I was a web Analytics Lead at clickTRUE I have worked on different verticals and have hands-on regional experience across various Digital Marketing Disciplines including SEM, Display, Social Media, Mobile, EDM and Web Analytics
- #5: Analytics 101 is targeted towards offline marketers who are thinking of picking up Google Analytics, and you’re a digital marketing audience, I’ll be skipping a lot of stuff about the tool and talk more about Data Analysis and finding actionable insights. I don’t really know the level of experience here so I’m going to keep things very casual and interactive.
- #7: There are 3 areas of expertise in web analytics. Data Capture is the coding and implementation of web analytics tracking. Data Reporting is where we update clients on their performance and sometimes unfortunately this is where we end up data puking. Analysing data is the fundamental stage of creating actionable insights. The process of doing so helps us add value to clients, and also improve our value of work in data capture and data reporting.

- #10: Pan Pac wanted to overhaul their existing Web Analytics implementation because they felt that existing reports were just not insightful enough. For example, part of their core business is maximising daily room occupation. Empty rooms like these, no matter how warm and homely, it negatively affects their bottomline. So one of the key questions was: Can Web Analytics help to improve Occupancy rate, especially during off-peak seasons?
- #11: So we noticed 3 significant problems with their existing setup. Web & Ecommerce tracking was basic. It was just the normal GATC implemented with the basic Ecommerce tracking codes placed at the thank you page of the booking journey. Also, profiles were only tracking at an aggregate and country level, so it was not as easy to measure an individual property’s performance Additionally, we found out from the client that a significant source of revenue were from loyalty program and alliance members, as well as agents. There was no web data available for these loyal customers and their behaviours.
- #12: So we came up with 3
- #13: So here are 3 of the implementations we decided on
- #14: With just 3 implementations, we are now able to: Identify periods when each member types make their booking, and take action Run specific promotions, especially during the off-season periods Measure the value of each member segment. Measure the effectiveness of the various promotions Helps the Country Manager make strategic decisions with comparable property data All this from as low as a property-level perspective and upwards.
- #15: Data Analysis is a challenging area of expertise because of all the potential roadblocks, possibilities and data overload. On top of that, we are expected to provide actionable insights that clients appreciate. Especially when there‘s a lack of clarity on objectives, we will tend to feel this way Over the next few minutes, I‘ll share with you an example of analysis work I did for a client and hopefully you‘ll get some insights from it.
