What does a marketing analytics person do?
A marketing analyst builds and maintains the measurement layer — implementing tracking (Google Analytics, Segment, tag management), designing reports and dashboards, running attribution analysis, forecasting campaign impact, and translating results into recommendations for marketers. Senior analysts move into media mix modeling, incrementality testing, and marketing science. The role sits at the intersection of marketing, data engineering, and statistics.
