Marketing News Canada

At SocialPacific 2025 in North Vancouver, Warren Thompson, Co-Founder and Director at Olo Metrics, sits down with guest host Rachel Thexton to demystify marketing data.

Warren explains why most teams don’t have a data problem, they have a clarity problem. Instead of obsessing over every metric in the funnel, he shares how focusing on a few “North Star” KPIs can simplify decision-making and drive real growth.

From performance marketing and SEO to AI’s impact on emerging marketers, this conversation explores how technical skill, strategic thinking, and creative craft must now work together, not in silos.

Clearer metrics. Smarter decisions. Stronger teams.
