Founder and Head of Client Strategy at VisionLab – a Data & Analytics Premium Agency.
We help businesses build their data pipelines and make sense of their data.
We’ve also presented at many high-level conferences & masterminds including Jeff Walker’s Mastermind Event, Measure Summit 2022, Measure Summit 2023 & the Elevar Summit 2023.
There’s many great beginner courses on how to get started using popular analytic tools like GA4 or Google Tag manager.
These trainings get you familiar with the basics but are often taught in isolation and lack the practicality of how to use them in the real world… and more importantly how they fit into your overall tracking and analytics strategy.
Without having an overall strategy, focusing on just one tool is like having a hammer and thinking you’re ready to build a skyscraper.
The Lab takes you behind-the-scenes and shows NOT just how to use all the tools but how to capture, store, analyze & present meaningful insights that captures stakeholder’s attention & drives action!
What you’ll discover inside The Lab…
Take a deep dive into the Foresight System so you know what to measure and why… it’s not enough to just set up tracking… you need to plan how to gather data so that it provides insights and drives action.
Our preferred tools are part of the Google Marketing Stack. We like these tools because they’re either inexpensive or free and can scale with your business.
Google Marketing Tools include Google Tag Manager, GA4, Server Side Tag Manager, GoogleSheets, Big Query and Looker Studio.
Follow along as we walk you through common tracking setups. Create your own data pipelines and dashboards. Save time and effort by using our templates and coding hacks.
At some point you’re going to have questions. Don’t worry, we’ve got your back. With access to our community Slack Channel & Monthly Group Calls you can overcome any challenge that comes your way.
Look over our shoulder as we share what’s working in our agency… including case studies, masterclasses, sprints, latest tools and how we incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into our workflows.

“It’s nothing less than stellar the way they've built out the courses… it’s a great starting point!
You still have to do the work and the testing but they will always be there to jump on a call with you or send you a screen share and help you through some of the nuances that always come up in this line of work.
Big props to them.
If you’re thinking of signing up I highly highly encourage you to do so!”
Founder, Mac n' Cheese Media
“I can’t begin to express how much of an impact Stockton has made on my life and business.
I was able to acquire a large client and next week I'm launching a $120k marketing campaign Stockton has taken me to that next level and helped me understand what I need to do and how to do it and broke it down into a consumable way.
My client is blown away!”
Measurement Marketer | The Peoples Digital
“It wasn’t a hard decision to join.
Stockton and JJ have a really good level of knowledge so I was excited to be able to learn from them and become more advanced.
JJ & Stockton meet people where they’re at and take you further.
The biggest drawcard was that their approach is very organic, they have an excellent level of knowledge and just want to share and teach.
They’re on top of it.
A friendly approach to this sort of topic is fresh and something I continue to enjoy.”
Agency Owner, Martin Marketing
“JJ is a problem solver… he must wear a cape because he always saves the day.
His technical chops are way beyond a lot of other people I’ve met.
He's able to look at the big picture and knows enough to drill down to figure out where the problem is… and fix it.
It's an absolute pleasure to work with him. He's organized, he's responsive, and I would recommend him all day!”

YES! You get full access to all the trainings right away so dive in and start learning immediately.
There’s 370+ training videos in ‘The Lab’. We have purposely provided a robust training library to meet you where you are at.
Follow the guidelines in the member’s area for where to start e.g. if you’re already a GTM expert, skip that section and go to the next, or if you’re working on a specific project – go directly to that tracking playbook.
We initially recommend setting aside three hours per week to learn the tools. Once you have familiarity with the tools we recommend a combination of learning and doing i.e. don’t watch all videos before working on your first project, instead learn as you go.
Lab Live (our group call) is hosted on the 3rd Tuesday of the Month at 11.30am (Pacific) | 2.30pm (East Coast).
On this call you can ask questions as we provide specific guidance, as well as share what we’re excited about including agency case studies, new tools, how we’re using AI, etc…
Can’t join us live? No problem. All calls are recorded and stored inside the Member’s area for you to watch when it’s convenient to you.
We host a sprint every quarter of the year.
Sprints last for 1 month, with 1 Live Call per week during that time.
Sprints are typically held in the last month of the quarter i.e. March, June, September, December.
