Without a doubt, the most common question I get asked by other digital marketers is "How the hell do we keep up"? Let's face it, technology and in particular digital marketing is moving so fast it almost seems impossible to be at the top of your game. Then, to add insult to injury, customer behaviour and expectations are also changing at pace. Simply put, in the world of digital marketing and internet marketing, it is getting harder and harder to win. But what if I told you there is a way for you to get ahead of the competition? What if I told you that bringing a simple tool into your digital marketing arsenal could create a way for you to get a steady stream of incremental gains in your search engine optimization, your social media marketing, your conversion rate optimization and even your content marketing efforts. Think of it as a way to get compound interest gains in all of your digital marketing channels. This tool will also give you a way for you to change your focus. A way for you to stop stressing about the wins and instead, to provide you with real insight into what works, what doesn't and how your customers think. The not so secret tool I am referencing is 'experimentation'. Most of us have a simplified version of it (such as A/B testing) already, but a true experimentation framework goes a lot deeper than just testing two different variables. It is a way for us to disrupt the market, our competitors and most importantly, disrupt ourselves. In this book, the simple goal is to give you three things: An easy to understand framework that you can implement. A guide to cultivating the mindset required to successfully embed a true experimentation approach and lastly, some practical experiments that you can start testing the second you put the book down. I have even enlisted some of the most talented digital marketers in the world to help pick out some of their recommended experiments. It is not often that you get the likes of Michael Brenner, Ciaran Rogers and Tim Pointer in the same book. By the end of this book, my hope is that you have a new lease on your digital marketing life and that your new mantra becomes "We don't chase the wins, we chase the insights".

It seemed like a simple plan—visit fifty-two places in fifty-two weeks. But for author Ken Lamberton, a forty-five-year veteran of life in the Sonoran Desert, the entertaining results were anything but easy. In Chasing Arizona, Lamberton takes readers on a yearlong, twenty-thousand-mile joyride across Arizona during its centennial, racking up more than two hundred points of interest along the way. Lamberton chases the four corners of Arizona, attempts every county, every reservation, and every national monument and state park, from the smallest community to the largest city. He drives his Kia Rio through the longest tunnels and across the highest suspension bridges, hikes the hottest deserts, and climbs the tallest mountain, all while visiting the people, places, and treasures that make Arizona great. In the vivid, lyrical, often humorous prose the author is known for, each destination weaves together stories of history, nature, and people, along with entertaining side adventures and excursions. Maps and forty-four of the author’s detailed pencil drawings illustrate the journey. Chasing Arizona is unlike any book of its kind. It is an adventure story, a tale of Arizona, a road-warrior narrative. It is a quest to see and experience as much of Arizona as possible. Through intimate portrayals of people and place, readers deeply experience the Grand Canyon State and at the same time celebrate what makes Arizona a wonderful place to visit and live.

Chasing Perfection goes behind the scenes of the multi-million dollar, high-stakes world of basketball player development, research and analysis, and the often secretive, cutting-edge methods that NBA franchises use to turn less-expensive, supporting players into vital parts of championship teams. NBA superstars push as close to perfection as we're likely to see, but they are few and far between. The farther you get from the league's top echelon of talent, the more it's up to the players—and their teams—to develop and utilize their strengths while diminishing and masking their weaknesses as much as possible. There are no perfect basketball players, but there are plenty of perfected ones, who start with a basis of skill and physical ability and then are refined further and further in order to move closer and closer to their absolute potential. In Chasing Perfection, national sportswriter Andy Glockner reveals that, though the concept of player improvement is as old as basketball itself, the current era of Big Data analytics in the NBA is transforming that process more quickly and aggressively than anything we have seen before. Players are learning more and more about themselves through video and data visualization, seeing how things like diet and sleep can impact their performance, and learning how having healthy joints and role-specific workout plans are lengthening and improving their careers. Teams are internalizing the same lessons, as well as figuring out how to better implement optimal on-court strategies, how to refine their approaches to player acquisition and how to gauge the varying values and success rates of different, crucial team-building strategies. It's an absolutely fascinating time to be a fan, as the marriage of basketball and technology is bringing two of our most popular and competitive worlds together in compelling fashion. Using the 2014–15 NBA season as a prism to explore this mesh of sport and science, Glockner offers detailed perspective from NBA players, coaches, team management, and media, offering a comprehensive insider's view of how analytics are shaping the basketball we watch, and how those who are lagging behind in the technology race already are feeling the competitive hit.
