Hej Anders,

>> How will left brained analytically focused people ever be able to convert observations to new creative concepts for communicating to visitors?

See this is a great question! However; my personal opinion is that the Analyst (a left brained analytically focused person) has the function of “creating” insight and reporting on actionable opportunities, but not deploying the changes. In my perfect world an organisation would employ an internal analyst and create processes that include communication with ones outside interactive Agency for changes. (like your Creuna).

This is also somehow the message from Jason’s (ZAAZ) new book – Actionable Web Analytics. Which I can only recommend if you have some spare time over the summer.

Thanks a lot for the comment Anders :-)

Very interesting podcast. Seems like web-analytics after all has taken it’s fair position on the market for digital communications solutions. However, as marketing and website manager it is still crucial that data is converted to creativity. In other words – how will left brained analytically focused people ever be able to convert observations to new creative concepts for communicating to visitors? Can one be left-brained and right-brained at the same time?

Hi Marc,

Sorry about the two times “Benjamin” remark, I was hyped on Red Bull and mystified by the Skype naming :-)
- nevertheless, it seems like we will be working together soon according to emails from the office today.

Cheers mate.
