He has worked closely with several businesses and publishers and helped them succeed and it is great to get these deep insights directly from him."Sagnik Nandy, Distinguished Engineer, Google Analytics"Daniel's insightful recommendations on how to make digital analytics more actionable via integration are well researched and tightly presented in this wonderful book.
