Mariia, Performance Marketing Lead @ CareerFoundry
Anatoli and SQL Habit have given a kickstart to a whole new approach to marketing analytics at CareerFoundry. We have a much clearer vision of how to connect the data from different sources. We now have a group of SQL enthusiasts from across the marketing team finding the answers to their questions in data and automating reports, that’s already saving a ridiculous amount of time.
Merlin, Data Science & Engineering Lead @ Phiture
The SQL Habit course is unique in terms of the holistic approach to mobile marketing. It covers everything from SQL basics to mobile attribution and A/B testing. What I find most impressive is the deep understanding one gains on how marketing data really works. I, therefore, recommend the course as a learning goal for consultants within our company.
Holger, CEO @ Blinkist
One of the most important practical skills I've learned in the early years of Blinkist has been SQL. It helped me to dig into our Marketing & Product data and quickly explore certain hypotheses I had. It has empowered me to take smarter decisions, avoid costly mistakes and has nurtured my intuition re: what works and what doesn't. I wish this course had existed 5 years ago and highly recommend you take a look - you'll learn from the best!
Rob, CEO @ Feather
It's amazing how an awareness for data is impacting every part of our business. SQL Habit has allowed me to dive into our data, and get a great feel for how things are working both in product and marketing. Going forward it allows us to set a very high bar for data collection and making use of it to inform decisions.

Meet the author

Hi, my name is Anatoli or @makaroni4! 👋 For the last 10 years I’ve been typing SQL queries as a Software Engineer, CEO, Marketer, and Data Analyst. I’ve been working as a Lead Engineer in the Growth Team at Blinkist, helping it to grow to 16 million users.

All these experiences have taught me one thing - you should know how to use your data. This inspired me to create SQL Habit, so you can make more data-informed decisions. 🚀
