So next lightning round question, uh toss up here. Would you choose to invest in better data integration or advanced content personalization if you had limited marketing cho resources and could only choose one?
Mm.
Why do marketers waste budget on perception‑based campaigns instead of accurate data?
I feel like Advanced content personalization to me is is a better data integration. Um so better data integration. Because So fancy content, white papers and creative and copy and fancy images, they're they're gonna mean nothing if you don't If you aren't targeting the r the right people. Uh so the the actual the data integration and accuracy and and the way that you're whether you're you're being able to pull that data in real time or uh having to do it, you know, in batch data. But just the the way that it's structured around the the data integration it becomes more important at that point.
But so many marketers today are just heavily dependent on this like perception based marketing, which is like I I believe that our audience needs this. I believe that our buyers want this white paper that's seven thousand words long.
How can marketers shift their mindset to prioritize data integration for ROI?
There's no data behind it. There's arguably even very little third party data, even if we want to use that. I fully agree with you that that that there's a huge need for us to be more capable of data integration, but I fundamentally don't think that the mentality is there. So, how do you shift the mentality of the marketers to believe that they the data integration leads to better marketing outcomes?
I think it's shifting itself. Uh the CMOs that I meet are becoming CMO with a very different journey. So a lot of them actually, if they didn't start in sales, shout out to all my sellers. Uh they started in the in the in the data and the product side.
What does the rise of the technical CMO mean for marketing strategy?
uh like actually like super close to the to the product side often. And so we're seeing the rise of a more technical CMO. Uh and that persona is becoming just naturally more interested in in that piece of the business. They're they're becoming less, I don't want to say ego driven, but less about like the the big fancy campaigns that make that just look really nice and they're they're actually because of the Because of their quote unquote upbringing. They are naturally just data very data driven and and you have to be.
Yeah, love that. And I definitely agree. I think that that new
How do better data integration practices lead to measurable marketing results?
New flock of energy into the marketing suite is key. And I think those experiences lead to better data, data integration, and data aggregation for those marketing teams.
