Google Tag Manager is a hugely popular technology that allows marketers to easily manage all their website and app tags from one central tool.

This course shows marketers how to effectively leverage Google Tag Manager. Discover how to best work with accounts and containers, leverage the Google Analytics built-in tags, work with control versions and user access, create custom variables and JavaScript, fire Google Analytics events using triggers, and more.
