How it works

Looker Studio (formally Google Data studio) is a platform that allows you to import data from various data sources and turns this data into a custom dashboard and reports. You can now combine all the valuable Mediahawk data with any other data source straight into your own Looker Studio application. 

You must have a Google account to use the Looker Studio.
