Bio
Adam Godfrey
There are two key elements to finding success as a digital analyst in an organization. First, you must have the support of your manager. He or she is your champion - spreading your insights to the larger organization and encouraging all to be open-minded about potentially unpopular data points. Second, you need a manager that understands that ongoing training in the analytics space is essential, given that the digital marketing environment changes daily. Luckily for me, Jason was exactly the type of manager that makes an analyst like myself thrive. I worked with Jason for four years and each one was a blast. Not only was he a great analytics evangelist for our team, he also made sure we had the tools and training necessary to make our insights meaningful. What I most appreciated though, was his ability to strengthen our final analyses by throwing questions at us from a variety of angles. He didn't stop at the easy answer. He made sure that any analysis we put forth was solid and answered the real questions that the business needed to move forward. Jason also had a way of making even the most demanding times enjoyable. He never missed an opportunity to throw out a light-hearted joke to keep our heads from getting buried too deep in the sand. In short, I'm glad I got the chance to work with Jason. His direction and guidance made me a better analyst and I'm thankful for that. My one regret is that I never got him to watch the 1980s cult hit "Big Trouble in Little China" with Kurt Russell. There's still time, Jason. There's still time...

Jason possesses a great combination of talents. He has deep knowledge of digital marketing strategies and tactics: he knows how to set and communicate his vision and how to get programs implemented, measured, and optimized. He has strong entrepreneurial instincts and knows how to make programs grow. He is frequently used as a subject matter expert on cross-functional teams and a great advocate and developer of his direct reports. And he is a heck of a nice guy; respectful and thoughtful, and a strong contributor to a positive and productive culture.
