I thought I could start a series where I share top content from every month. Let’s kick this off with July.
How to deal with slow Looker Studio reports
You’ve probably noticed that Looker Studio (Data Studio) dashboards can sometimes take their sweet time to load

Incrementality testing for marketers
In marketing, we often rely heavily on metrics that indicate direct conversions—whether it’s a purchase or an app download. But what about organic demand, word-of-mouth, or brand loyalty? How do they help drive the bottom-line numbers? And how can you separate them from paid activities?
Incrementality can help you answer those questions and understand the true marketing impact.
We’ll discuss what you need to know about incrementality testing, including:
- What’s incrementality in marketing
- Why do you need incrementality testing?

How to scale and standardize your client reporting
Many agencies still handle client reporting manually—pulling .csv files from each channel, copy-pasting data, and trying to make it look pretty or at least comprehensible…. And then repeat it for every new client.
That might be doable when you’re starting out, but what about when you’re scaling up? Your team will be wasting time on reporting and have less time to do the job you were hired to do.
So, this article will explain how to get out of reporting chaos. We’ll look at:
- Why you need to standardize and scale your client reporting
- Our tips on how to develop a standardized reporting framework from scratch
- The problems with creating reporting templates and how to solve them
