“Empirical Path has had tremendous success with data-driven brands like Business Insider, MailChimp, The Brookings Institution, and Panera Bread in part because of their expertise with marketing measurement platforms like Google Analytics 360, Tag Manager, Data Studio, Optimize, and Big Query,” said Mike Gustafson, Search Discovery President. “Adding the Empirical Path team’s experience and expertise expands our capabilities, deepening our ability to help marketers solve complex measurement problems. Our clients will gain a competitive advantage and meaningful, significant business results”

In getting to know Search Discovery’s leadership, it’s become clear that our organizations share these goals. Instead of operating each business separately, we all benefit from jointly serving clients.”
Howley continued, “This opportunity creates benefits for our team by developing an ever-greater variety of skills. It benefits our clients, who will enjoy a broader scope and deeper bench of capabilities and services to help leverage data to drive business outcomes. And it benefits Momentum, since our relationships demonstrate to our partners like Google that we’re collectively very deep and complete in our offerings.” Howley’s cofounder Jim Snyder will serve as Senior Analytics Architect at Search Discovery.
