With multiple customer touchpoints, every customer journey presents brands with multiple opportunities to connect with consumers.

From our post on Situational Search Advertising, we know that we can ensure that the right message occurs at the right time, but that’s just the beginning.

“To make sense of today’s complex customer journey, better measurement is critical,” says the latest Think With Google article.
