02:33Defining qualitative and quantitative dataQuantitative data is numerical and data-driven, while qualitative data is anecdotal. In marketing, we have both types of data, and deciding how to combine them is both an art and a science.

03:14Combining quantitative and qualitative dataQuantitative data is more scalable and shows general trends, but doesnt provide the underlying reasons. On the other hand, qualitative data from customer interactions like interviews or focus groups, provides richer insights into the causes behind the trends observed in quantitative data.
-
06:32Using qualitative and quantitative data for marketing insightsRelying solely on quantitative data without customer insights can be misleading. Audyence learned the importance of combining quantitative survey data with qualitative insights from customer conversations to better understand customer problems and iterate their platform effectively.
-
08:15Leveraging qualitative data for demand generation campaignsCustomer pain points and priorities help shape messaging and content in demand-gen campaigns. While quantitative data reveals general trends in target audience reactions, qualitative insights reveal why specific segments should or shouldn't be targeted.
-
09:54Aligning sales, marketing, and product to leverage customer insights effectivelyMarketing, sales, and product teams must be aligned around the customer feedback required to improve these organizations. A collaborative approach to collecting and analyzing customer feedback, involving all three departments in the interview or focus group process, is key.
-
11:47Aligning customer feedback gathering across departmentsEstablishing centers of excellence, where representatives from each department work on collaborative projects, is an effective way to achieve alignment and success across sales, marketing, and product organizations.

14:00Driving efficiency with quantitative and qualitative dataMarketers should prioritize efficiency, focusing on saving time, money, or improving performance. It's crucial to have both quantitative and qualitative data to understand the 'why' behind trends and make informed decisions.
