Ask critical questions, challenge assumptions, and continuously refine the metrics and frameworks used for evaluating performance and provide guidance to advertisers on their learning agendas. Build tracking frameworks to monitor test performance and campaign outcomes; follow up and follow through with advertisers and partners to ensure best-practice setup, proper tracking, and adoption of key learnings.
