Key takeaways from this episode:
Consider your impact. When Megan was looking to make the jump into her next CMO role, she prioritized choosing a company solving big problems on a big scale. It was important to take a glimpse into the future to understand the company’s growth trajectory and just how she could make a powerful impact as CMO.Unify customer data. At Amperity, Megan works with lots of B2C companies that tend to be owned by a single parent company. In cases like these, there’s a strong need to unify their customer data from multiple sources, so they can market to different customers across various brands. That’s where a CDP like Amperity comes in as a clutch tool for helping them understand their customers inside and out. Prioritize personalization. One of the major themes that emerged from my conversation with Megan was personalization. Customers today expect a personalized experience that demonstrates a brand’s commitment to understanding them and their needs. Marketers should be focused on creating a tailored experience with every piece of content they share.
