Adswerve GA4 eBook quote from Emmilly Best, Sr. Analytics Manager: "It may be tempting to replicate or "lift and shift" what you have in Universal Analytics to GA4. However, this is the perfect time to start with a clean slate and really think about the future that encompasses app tracking, machine learning and a privacy-first mindset."
