Automation in the work environment

Have you ever wondered why certain coworkers seem to finish more work than you even though you're hustling constantly?

The answer, my friend, lies in work automation.

These last few weeks in my internship with a tech startup, I have been involved with a variety of projects. Our company is yet to automate the transfer of customer data into their email marketing program. As a result, I have been tasked with analysis of the customer data. I have to determine which email list the customer needs to be a part of.

This entire process could be handled by a one-time setup of an automation process. So what I have taken away from this, take the time to setup these processes because they will save me time in the future.

And as we all know... Time=Money

I Am Google Analytics Certified, Oh Yea

One of the goals within the Center of Digital Engagement Internship this summer was to become certified in at least one of the digital marketing certifications available. I chose to to certify in Analytics because I have had prior experience with Adwords and wanted to get my feet wet in Analytics. My Strategy On Passing The Exam So within the internship, Bud Gibson, who is a director with SPARK, suggested the fail until you pass method. Using this methodology, I took the test two times. Before taking it the first time, I studied all of the Google Partner resources relating to GA. The score of my first test was a 75%! So only 5% away from passing.
