Quotes:
(18:20-18:41) “I have learned not to make assumptions based on previous learnings. Just because something worked in a certain manner at some point in the past, it doesn’t mean that we’ll see similar behavior from that particular audience or from that particular campaign the next time we run it.”
(19:00-19:30) “Don’t try to have the perfect measurement framework. If you think about it, tracking was different back in the day; now it has a lot of challenges, and I don’t think that’s going to improve anytime soon. So if you want to scale, you have to have some solid, valid assumptions and go ahead without having full visibility of your performance.”
