Life after GDPR - Ep. #20 - GDPR Proof Attribution. Is Online Media Mix Modeling the Answer?

In this episode I’m joined by Petri Mertanen. Petri is a digital analytics consultant from Finland who has been active in the space for a long time. Recently, he has been working a lot on “Online Media Mix Modeling” to offer an alternative to digital analytic attribution modeling as we know it from tools like Google Analytics. It’s a potentially very interesting alternative for websites that have enough traffic to make use of it. 

You can follow Petri on LinkedIn or check out his company website.
