78 00:06:45.260 ⇒ 00:06:53.270 Uttam Kumaran: and then, yeah, I guess I want to sort of think about for everybody. I’m company. I’m sort of trying to ask, like, where is other areas that you’re interested in stretching in.
79 00:06:55.370 ⇒ 00:07:02.100 Uttam Kumaran: You know. Is there any other part of the marketing side, or even could be anything that you’re interested in, sort of
80 00:07:02.410 ⇒ 00:07:05.299 Uttam Kumaran: learning, or getting more involved in, I mean.
81 00:07:05.500 ⇒ 00:07:09.289 Uttam Kumaran: for the for the foreseeable future. This is really gonna be the.
82 00:07:09.580 ⇒ 00:07:15.140 Uttam Kumaran: you know, the crew of people working. So there is a ton of stuff to do. I’m just curious about.
83 00:07:15.310 ⇒ 00:07:18.830 Uttam Kumaran: you know, if there’s any other areas in the company that you’re
84 00:07:19.220 ⇒ 00:07:24.661 Uttam Kumaran: you’re particularly interested in, like learning more about or getting more involved in
85 00:07:25.360 ⇒ 00:07:28.950 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know. I’m just like just curious to get your thoughts.
86 00:07:30.110 ⇒ 00:07:34.459 Anne: Yeah, yeah, I’m actually thinking, actually about that. So
87 00:07:35.260 ⇒ 00:07:45.720 Anne: when I learned that Ryan also like, jump into AI, yeah automation, something.
88 00:07:45.850 ⇒ 00:07:46.640 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
89 00:07:46.640 ⇒ 00:07:56.745 Anne: Yeah, I’m also well, it’s not that I’ve seen that giants all taking part of that. But for the past months, I’m thinking.
90 00:07:57.280 ⇒ 00:08:03.299 Anne: like, I’m getting interested in like data analytics. Because before I have
91 00:08:03.560 ⇒ 00:08:10.630 Anne: experience in data analytics, but just in Google analytics. So and also the tag manager.
92 00:08:11.440 ⇒ 00:08:15.990 Anne: but not that deep like now, because.
93 00:08:18.404 ⇒ 00:08:27.860 Anne: like, for example, now that we’re using Hubspot and the other tools that I’m not familiar because I’ve only reading here in slack. So
94 00:08:28.260 ⇒ 00:08:32.969 Anne: yeah, yeah, so think more on data analytics. Yeah.
95 00:08:33.110 ⇒ 00:08:37.180 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. I mean, there is actually so much work to be done on
96 00:08:37.409 ⇒ 00:08:45.679 Uttam Kumaran: on that like. So in particular, to give you a sense of like some of the open opportunities I mean, one is is just measuring.
97 00:08:46.440 ⇒ 00:08:47.150 Anne: -
98 00:08:47.150 ⇒ 00:08:53.639 Uttam Kumaran: Measuring how all of our content is doing, and then also measuring how people are interacting with the website.
99 00:08:55.070 ⇒ 00:09:04.999 Uttam Kumaran: you know. So this is like. For example, we want to look at. Hey, how how many impressions are all of our posts getting? And then we want to take a look at whatever. What are our top?
100 00:09:06.510 ⇒ 00:09:10.500 Uttam Kumaran: What are our top pages? What are the load? Time.
101 00:09:11.370 ⇒ 00:09:16.189 Uttam Kumaran: Things like that. If you’re if you’re interested in that like, there’s there’s a ton of work to be done there for sure.
102 00:09:17.420 ⇒ 00:09:21.270 Anne: Yeah, yeah. I. I know I’ve worked
103 00:09:21.900 ⇒ 00:09:31.190 Anne: with that before, like, for example, like like the buttons like the clicks, or
104 00:09:32.690 ⇒ 00:09:39.540 Anne: I forgot the term like the drop something in a way.
105 00:09:41.540 ⇒ 00:09:42.040 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
106 00:09:42.040 ⇒ 00:09:45.740 Anne: If the, for example, if you’re in a page, then
107 00:09:46.853 ⇒ 00:09:53.506 Anne: someone just scrolled like 50% of the website like, why, why did it just
