Sample Response: Associate

As a Marketing Data Analyst, I've exercised various tools and strategies for collecting and scrutinizing marketing data. My preferred tools include Google Analytics, SEO tools like SEMRush, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems like Salesforce.

Recently, my team embarked on a project to optimize the marketing spend across various channels. We pulled data from Google Analytics and CRM, then used Tableau to visualize and interpret the data. By analyzing the data in Tableau through custom dashboards and reports, we gained insights into the most and least profitable channels. We then adjusted our marketing budget accordingly, leading to a 15% improvement in marketing ROI in the following quarter.
