John Mitchell, CEO All human part 1 search is a big problem

According to CIO, in 2021, 77.3% of companies globally rated digital transformation as their new top priority, pushing cybersecurity down to second place. John Mitchell, CEO of All human (formerly Strata3), believes that companies digital transformation is currently too focussed on aesthetics. He thinks that it should be focused on what consumers appreciate in a real, everyday sense. John also feels that the industry needs to take a step back and inject more pragmatism into the digital transformation process to drive measurable sales-focussed results. This includes using an analytics-first approach, hard metrics and testing.  Ronan talks to John Mitchell CEO of All human (formerly Strata3) about this and more.

John talks to Ronan about what All Human (formerly Strata3) does, why search is a big problem, developing Discover Ireland, and working with well known Irish brands. John also talks about what is online and offline, brands ceding brand equity to a third party, cookies and privacy, advocates of a different way of thinking, and the generational shift.
