What a Year!

2024 was a big year. I went from a stable 19-year career as an analyst at eMarketer into the unknown as an independent researcher and advisor.

It's been a year of wins - terrific new clients like Datos, WARC, Ascendant Network, M7 Innovations and IAB, groundbreaking research about marketing+AI, speaking gigs, the Sonata Insights name on BBC!

And also plenty of oh-s*** moments, like when that big project I was hoping for didn't materialize, or when I realized that I'd been blogging for months and none of the posts were indexing on Google. Or that time when I designed my own T-shirts and realized my logo was misplaced.

Still, being in business for myself feels good ... and rewarding ... and there are exciting things brewing for 2025.

I made a little video recapping what Sonata Insights has accomplished this year.
