7. Analytics for funding/investment
Besides measuring
performance, analytics can
be used to seek funding or
investment. This project,

media, was responsible for a

(2018). We used this metric
to apply for a grant.

• Integrate GA with analytics from social media to get the full picture.
• Only do the analytics you need, don’t get sucked in! If you are short of time, do the
basics.
