> It's weird that Rand Fishkin has been in the marketing space for so long, but somehow hasn't encountered a single effective performance marketing team that measures their spend well and complements the efforts of SEO and social media marketers (like Rand).

He hadn't been the CEO for a year or two at the time, but he was still very much the public face of Moz when they "asked 28% of Mozzers to leave"[1], who worked on products complementing SEO. They used various euphemisms, but ultimately it's because they made no money[2].
