Interview
What brings you joy in your role?
Being able to iterate and experiment in so many ways! There are so many data points you can measure in digital marketing and customer data. With the right processes and teams in place, experimentation becomes easier and yields better results as you move forward.
What is a common misconception about your role?
That my role is all about marketing technology, specific platforms or programming languages! It’s really about being able to match technology with marketing processes while influencing stakeholders and peers (even without a leadership role).
What tips, tricks, or pieces of advice would give a new Iterable user?
Get Iterable Academy training and get started! The platform is user-friendly and offers so many ways to create, personalize and launch omni-channel campaigns.
What does customer experience mean to you, and how does Iterable play a role?
For me, it means having a hands-on ally, almost like another member on your team, who will help make the best decisions for your business (and not only based on what is better for them).
What are some Iterable features that have made your job easier? Or have been game-changers for yourself and your team?
Iterable Catalog! It really was a game-changer for us because it allowed our business team members to contribute with data in an easy way (filling out a spreadsheet), while greatly personalizing and automating email templates and campaigns at scale, allowing us to cover many countries, brands, and languages with lean teams.
Besides Iterable, what are the other tools in your marketing toolkit that you can’t live without?
In our case, having a data repository, where we could add and unify customer data over time was key. Our Customer Data Platform is at the center of our customer marketing technology stack.
How do you stay up–to–date with the latest trends and developments in marketing?
Marketing is an ample field, so I start by choosing which part of marketing I am interested in keeping updated. For me, it includes topics around marketing technology, how to leverage customer zero and first-party data, and how to leverage this technology to make marketing processes better/easier.
If one song could play every time you entered a meeting, what would it be?
“I’m Every Woman” (I would accept both Chaka Khan and Whitney Houston versions!)
If you came with a warning label, what would it say?
I am intense, but I like to think that I have strong opinions, lightly held!
