The app was used primarily by Boston techies, who have a lot more money than the majority
of the population
And so the data suggested that the potholes in the rich
parts of the city were causing the most problems

“This was an example of really bad analytics and it’s even worse because it’s the kind of thing that feels like it should work and does
work a little bit.”
When we don’t know how to properly read and interpret
data, gathering it often causes more problems that it solves
1 Valuing everything by ROI
2 Treating all metrics as KPIs
3 Misaligning goals, channels and content
3 Problems
When you use last-touch attribution, this is how you end up valuing the different
parts of your website…

“Once something gets measured and put into a model then everything starts optimising
around that metric.”
No-one in their right minds would read this blog post and then buy a car insurance
policy, but when you value your content by how it contributes to conversions… then you
end up trying to make that happen.
The way TV was historically measured was via impressions and how it contributed to brand
salience (as determined by recall surveys)
This was an ok way to measure TV 30 years ago, when there
wasn’t many other marketing or advertising channels available
But today… there’s just too much noise to make such data meaningful. Brands who still
measure in this way dramatically over value TV

“Lets temporarily stop all other brand activities so we can properly measure PR…”
But we know that PR, or advertising, or other brand building activity never
works in isolation. Stopping everything necessarily reduces the efficacy of the activity you’re trying
to measure.
However… you wouldn’t measure every player on how many goals they
score, or indeed even how they contribute in terms of assists.
Goal keepers are measured by saves, defenders by tackles, Midfielders by passes up the field, and strikers by
goals and assists.
Everything needs to go up. We need to get more conversions, more
traffic, more links, lower bounce-rate…longer time on page etc…
They appreciated the potential value YouTube could bring to their
marketing, and so tried to optimisetheir activity for all possible value
