3PM to 4PM: Q&A & Networking
Mr. Hiew Chee Choong, the Head of Analytics at Kasatria Technologies explained how Google Analytics works in the backend. We really loved how Hiew summarized all the technical terms like ‘cookies’, ‘pageview’, ‘bounce in’ using very simple examples.
He then kept emphasizing on the importance of marketing funnel to businesses. As mentioned, you need to find what metric or KPI makes sense to your business. Although Google Analytics can provide multiple data, not all are giving the correct metric to your marketing funnel.
Besides, he shared some myths and misconceptions about bounce rate, and case studies based on his experience. While he did use enterprises as examples, everyone still learned something useful, especially tracking implementation of websites.
After the lunch break, the workshop moved on to the second part, Google Analytics for software developers. Everyone loved the live demo of Google Analytics in this session. In fact, many participants really missed some of the hidden features that were overlooked.
The speaker also introduced Google Tag Manager (GTM) to the participants. He demonstrated how we could use GTM to track multiple events like clicks, form submission, YouTube, duration time, scroll/visibility and more.
“Some companies only limit it to the web developers, so not all marketers can edit GTM”, according to Hiew. However, the tutorial is really simple and easy to implement.
Overall, the workshop is a great success. In fact, many participants had enquired when would the next Google Analytics be. Mr. Hiew, who is very knowledgeable, kind and helpful answered every single question from the floor.
Thanks to the great response of the participants, he also shared Google Analytics for apps, Google Analytics 360 Suite (paid version) and tips about E-Commerce Tracking for Google Analytics.
One funny statement Hiew kept mentioning (and it’s so true): If you see “custom” in Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager, this means you need 2-3 weeks of development for web developer.
