Analytics Pros (AP) is a consultancy that gives elite and global brands the most accurate picture of their digital landscape by analyzing online interactions and customer experiences. The firm leverages primarily the leading software platforms Google Analytics 360 Suite to generate insights that help customers better understand their own customer journey, from marketing acquisition and purchase through to retention and loyalty. Founded by young entrepreneurs at the start of the global financial crisis in 2009 with limited experience on how to run a business and no capital funding, AP reached $4.5m in revenues by 2014. A subsequent acquisition was considered to propel the company’s growth but almost ruined the company if the CEO had not pulled the trigger to fire herself.
