What's actually different about Montgomery & the River Region
Montgomery had about 195,000 residents in 2023, according to Census Bureau estimates, and the metro area holds about 385,000 people, according to Data USA. It sits on the Alabama River in the central part of the state, between Birmingham and Mobile.
Manufacturing is a big part of the economy. Hyundai builds vehicles at its large Alabama assembly plant here, and a long chain of parts suppliers and logistics firms serve it.
Maxwell Air Force Base, home to the Air University, adds military and civilian jobs, along with defense contractors and visiting officers.
Montgomery's history is a draw of its own. The 1955 bus boycott began here, and sites like the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice bring visitors who need hotels, restaurants and tours. As the state capital, the city also has a steady base of government and professional services.

The part clients actually remember.
Not the reports. The uncomfortable conversation that changed the trajectory.
We were about to increase paid budget to fix what we thought was a top-of-funnel problem. The cohort chart took ten minutes to build and showed we'd have been pouring money into a bucket with a hole in it. That meeting probably saved us a year.
We had two spreadsheets that had never met: what it costs to fill a unit, and what it costs to keep one. Putting them on the same page changed where our money goes. The uncomfortable part was learning our renewal problem was really a maintenance problem.
We were three weeks from cutting the channel that was actually feeding us, and we would have had a defensible-looking dashboard justifying it the whole way. What I found hardest was accepting that our reporting had been wrong for two years, not that it needed fixing.
