Joe, Martin, Gini,
I appreciated your thoughtful remarks on measurement. (Just finally listened to this episode today. Getting caught up)
I think you’re all spot on to suggest that while there have been some fantastic advances made in the automated space layering the human perspective onto of the right amount of automation makes a tonne of sense.
A tolerable and sensible amount of automation for volume and speed, humans for depth, nuance, and context.
My two cents on social media measurement:

High level for now…we’ll flesh this out at the PRSA Digital Impact Conference in NY in May and the Market Research Association Conference in DC in June.
Love the bit about measurement being an investment not an expense!
Take care
