The challenge
Why did our clients come to us?
The website was using an in-house tag management solution that needed to be migrated to Google Tag Manager. However, there was only a 3-month window to complete this migration and it involved 6 CMSs and 500 tags!
What were their pain points?
- Lack of time and resources
- Using an old version of Google Analytics
- No QA testing
- No A/B testing
- Poor data governance
Our approach
- The existing GTM setup was cleaned-up and changed from Classic Analytics to Universal Analytics.
- A phased approach of migrating the pageview, events & then transactions was adopted.
- An automatic QA system was introduced to monitor the 500 events during the migration.
- A robust migration process was introduced to minimise human error.
- Further GA & GTM support and implementation
Google Tag Manager gurus. I worked with them on a complex implementation project for over 10 months and continued to be impressed by their GTM & GA skills. They provide creative solutions and were not shy about making recommendations or improvements that they believed would add value. Their expertise in Analytics and Google Tag Manager definitely make them a great resource to work with.

Worked with Phil and others on marketing tracking & analytics projects and always was surprised by out-of-the-box approach for solving issues where in-house or other agencies had given up. I highly recommend their services for any tracking and analytics task.
Albert Stanulis - Digital Marketing Manager, Newcross Healthcare
We hired MeasureMinds to consolidate our Google Analytics 360 account, fix our attribution issues and enable better goal & funnel tracking. They did a fantastic job and as a bonus, they managed to reduce our GA360 licence fee!
Tamara Caligari - Marketing and Product Manager, Tipico
Phil is clearly an expert in his field and his knowledge was obviously second-to-none. It was helpful to look at GTM with an expert. The Google data studio training greatly improved our business performance reporting.
Sofia Alvadia - Digital Marketing Manager, Bristol City Council
I hired MeasureMinds in December 2014 to audit Marie Curie's Google Analytics & Google Tag Manager implementations. They did everything in the brief and more in an incredibly quick time with very short notice. They also provided pro bono support after project closure. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend MeasureMinds for GTM & GA implementations.
