This week I'm trying a new format: Ruben's Riff. I'll spend 10 - 15 minutes talking about one topic and providing actionable advice for you as the listener. This week's topic is marketing attribution. Is this a dying art? How should companies adjust? What is the future of attribution? The answers to these questions and more can be found in this episode.

In this conversation, I talk with Julian about the privacy differences in Europe and the US, the evolution of Google Tag Manager/Google Analytics, and the future of Measure School.

Julian learned the ropes of Digital Marketing in different startups he co-founded and quickly became fascinated with how data could influence his marketing effort and business outcomes. Going out on his own in 2013 he started to help other businesses adopt the data-driven way of Digital Marketing through his consultancy JJAnalytics. In 2015 he started the YouTube channel MeasureSchool to reach and teach this new way of marketing to other fellow Marketers. With over 100k subscribers it has become the leading (video) source for many marketers to educate themselves on the data-driven way.
