About this event

“You get one life. Live it.”

This is the motto for Pollen, the members-only marketplace for experiences in travel, nightlife, festivals and more, which to date has sold over 1 million experiences and raised over $100 million in capital.

At a time where the pandemic has severely hit the travel and hospitality sectors, Pollen has seized the opportunity to transform their internal business intelligence and analytics function.

With two powerhouse tools, Looker and DBT, Pollen are breaking down their data silos, establishing a single source of truth, and empowering their business with data-driven insights.

In this TonicTalk with Pollen’s CTO, Brad Wright, and Senior Product Manager, Richard Jacobs, we discuss:

Pollen’s BI Transformation - What were the BI & analytics opportunities, and why kickstart this program now?
Case Study - Why Looker and DBT, what are the program’s impacts to date, and what’s next?
