Quotes:
(8:31-8:47) “The bedrock of the whole operation, from the product to marketing to everything else, is going to be how you set up your data structure and business intelligence structure – and that’s going to fall back down to what’s your MMP.”
(20:00-20:28) “My point is CPI has never been critical, really, especially as a target. As a metric itself, yes, of course, it is something that we need to keep an eye on. But, all that matters in the end is the value you're getting for every dollar you spend. And like I said, this is going to change based on what creatives you're using, campaign type, channel, etc."
