Creator Census: Data-Driven Thinking Beyond Analytics Dashboards

Location: Ballroom AB

Thursday, June 27

2:25 pm - 2:50 pm

Featuring: Meredith Levine, Stephanie Patrick, Hank Green

A singular focus on digital analytics means many creators and media makers are missing invaluable insights that often exist outside the realm of content optimization and social listening. Traditional market research methods — surveys, focus groups, ethnographies, and more — are helping some of today’s most successful creators inform strategic decision making via qualitative and quantitative audience research. This session digs into how creators gather data using opt-in samples from their communities to think beyond the dashboard and guide the future of their businesses.
