Vu as Data Scientist
Loading...
Vu has over a dozen years of experience consulting with marketing agencies and brands, working with their digital marketing, web analytics, ecommerce, and CRM data. His specialties include integrating data from multiple systems, developing automated dashboards, and developing machine learning and predictive models to automate the bidding and messaging for online advertising campaigns. One of his recent projects was featured in AdWeek as one of its 2019 Media Plan of the Year winners. Vu has worked extensively with retail clients, both online and brick-and-mortar. He was the lead SEM data analyst for JC Penney, Office Depot, and Saks Fifth Avenue. He developed data warehouses and dashboards for Lord & Taylor, Nest Fragrances, Erno Laszlo, Janie + Jack, and Francesca's. And he worked with retail-focused startup CloudTags to develop product recommendation engines for Harvey Nichols, made.com, and Sub-Zero/Wolf. Vu has also taught data science at General Assembly's Atlanta Campus and at Mercer University's Stetson School of Business and Economics.

Most companies can tell you how much they spent on marketing last month, but not which dollars actually drove results. As a Partner at Chameleon Collective, Vu Pham specializes in closing that gap, building the analytics and attribution infrastructure that shows leadership which channels, campaigns, and audiences are worth the spend. With over 25 years of experience, Vu brings the technical skill to pull together data from a fragmented marketing stack and the judgment to build attribution models that hold up to scrutiny rather than confirming what a channel manager wants to hear. His work spans granular ad-spend reporting to audience-level behavioral analysis, always built around one question: where should the next marketing dollar go? Vu's superpower is data storytelling, turning a spreadsheet of impressions, clicks, and conversions into a clear recommendation leadership can act on immediately. A former Data Science instructor at Mercer University and General Assembly, he is especially effective at explaining attribution concepts to marketing teams who need the "so what," not the methodology. Whether building real-time spend dashboards or auditing channel-driven audience growth, his goal is to replace guesswork with a defensible answer.
