**Task 1 Scenario**

You have been hired as a digital marketing strategist at Kamelon, a fictional athletic apparel retailer available in North America and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Kamelon is known for its premium, high-quality athletic apparel for women and men. Some of its most profitable product categories include leggings, shorts, sweatpants, sweatshirts, and tank tops. Loyal customers speak highly of Kamelon products because of the products' unmatched style and durability.

You are the first employee at this company who is focused on applying digital marketing analytics principles and strategies. Even the manager has very little experience with digital marketing analytics. Therefore, you have been hired to make analytics recommendations once you have a better understanding of the current analytics processes.

Based on the company’s current analytics processes and your digital marketing expertise, you have determined that Kamelon is at Level 1: Basic on the Gartner analytics maturity model. The company has a significant opportunity for analytics improvement. The following paragraphs describe some of the most important analytics details you were able to find.

Your manager provided you with this list of current marketing technologies that the company uses: Excel, Constant Contact, Facebook Ads, Google Ads, WordPress, Google Tag Manager, and Google Trends.

Beyond the use of these marketing technologies, your manager explained how data are currently accessed and stored. Data are gathered by various employees in an ad hoc manner with no documented process. To access previously collected data, employees must carefully search through hundreds of unstandardized Excel files saved to the company’s shared file drive. Often, employees have found it is easiest to just regenerate or repull the data from the original source.

Your manager cannot find any data detailing the Kamelon consumer journey: common consumer triggers, likely competitive alternatives, most important attributes when comparing products, post-purchase feedback, etc.

In addition, your manager shared that the website is the main driver of sales and profit for Kamelon, and the company’s primary marketing goal is to “increase annual website sales by 20 percent by the end of this year (when compared to website sales from last year).”

Beyond this information, you realize that the following two frameworks (Exhibits A and B) will be helpful in bringing order and clarity to Kamelon’s analytics, and you will reference them in your recommendations.

Exhibit A: Digital Marketing Analytics Framework


Exhibit A: “Figure 3.I.1,” Digital Marketing Analytics: Strategic Decision-making, 2023, Chapter 3 Introduction

Exhibit B: McKinsey Consumer Decision Journey Model
