  • Union Metrics Offers Free Instagram Check Up, Upgrades Analytics Dashboard
    For most marketers, Instagram analytics is a pay-to-play proposition. The Facebook-owned social network only offers its analytics dashboard to advertisers, and it has only been selling ads to a selected group of brands. So businesses that aren’t in the favored club and want deeper insights about their efforts on the popular network must turn to […]
  • Gauging Display Ad Effectiveness: Move Beyond Clicks & Into Engagement
    How are you measuring the effectiveness of your display ads? Columnist Liane Dietrich says emerging tools for looking at omni-channel engagement are proving invaluable.

    Two years after Alexis Madrigal coined the term, we’re still largely in the dark about Dark Social.
