What you'll learn

Working command of Data Studio, built on your data sources and aimed at dashboards that get read.

Reading Dashboards

Read, filter, and navigate dashboards with confidence. Your team gets answers from existing reporting without asking an analyst.

The Editor, Front and Back

Work in both the front and back ends of a dashboard. Your team understands how a report is assembled, not just how it looks.

Data Sources

Set up new data sources and understand how they connect. Your team brings the right data in and can spot a connection problem.

Charts & Tables

Create graphs and tables that answer real questions. Your team picks the right visualization for each metric.

Visualizing for Success

Learn how to visualize data for reporting success. Your team ships dashboards with clear hierarchy that stakeholders read.

From Reporting to Decisions

Turn reporting into marketing decisions. Your team moves from dashboard to action without an intermediary.

How the program runs

A program designed to embed capability.

01
Assess the baseline

A skill assessment benchmarks each person's level and goals. Where mixed teams train at different levels, it places each cohort and shapes the curriculum before anyone enters a room.

02
Tailor to your stack

Content built on your data sources, your dashboards, and your use cases, directly applicable to each person's day-to-day role.

03
Deliver live, hands-on

Live, interactive sessions with working exercises, real-time Q&A, and application tasks between sessions.

04
Embed the capability

A post-training assessment demonstrates measured uplift, with results you can put in front of leadership. Session recordings, take-home SOPs and templates, and 30 days of follow-up support keep the new practice compounding.

Programs by level: placed by the assessment

The baseline assessment places each cohort. Every module trains on your data sources, against your own reporting requirements. The sequence flexes with the results.

Build a Wider Program

Each pathway is a defined program, with one assessment baseline, sequenced modules, and one measured outcome.

Self-Serve Reporting

GA4 + Data Studio: measurement through to dashboards your teams read, filter, and extend themselves. For organizations where every reporting request queues behind one or two people.

Full-Stack Analyst

GA4 + BigQuery + Data Studio: from interface to raw data access to automated reporting. For teams whose questions have outgrown the interface, and whose reporting still runs on manual exports.

Organization-Wide Rollout

Sequenced cohorts across marketing, analytics, and operations teams. An executive briefing aligns leadership, then practitioner sessions run by team, to one shared reporting standard.
