  • How do you use customer data in digital campaign planning?
  • What data do you use?
  • Are you talking about on ads, or on landing pages, or on both?
  • Do you use customer data in all your campaigns?
  • What type of data do you use?
  • Do you use data from third parties as well as a customer’s own data?
  • Do you use customer data to decide on when to run a campaign?
  • Do you amend campaigns after they’re launched or do you tend to stick with things once they’re published?
  • Are you a fan of being reactive or proactive with your advertising?

Software I couldn’t live without

My number 1 takeaway

What’s the single most important step from our discussion that our listeners need to take away and implement in their businesses?

Something I learned very early-on is… don’t try to be all things to all people. You’re going to be a much better subject matter expert if you get very good at the space that you play in. It’s not to say that you shy away from things, but just understanding your business, not trying to be all things to all people is a good takeaway that has served me well.
