what makes it hard here

What marketing in Pasadena has to beat

01

Caltech and JPL employees bring data literacy that makes them skeptical of unsubstantiated marketing claims. Everything must be backed by measurable outcomes.

02

Rose Parade and Rose Bowl events generate massive annual search spikes that distort year-over-year analytics comparisons for local businesses.

03

Pasadena's proximity to downtown LA means local businesses compete with DTLA competitors for searches that Google treats as part of the greater Los Angeles market.
