Quotes

  • "We're really here to make sure that consumer centricity isn't just something that CEOs say in their shareholder letter at the end of the year, but it's something that is genuinely available, democratized throughout the organization." - Steve Phillips

  • "Companies and people know they have a lot of data, but they don't have the data that they need at the right time and the right place to make a decision." - Steve Phillips

  • "Companies and CEOs [...] always talk about being customer-centric. But if you look at a CMO tech stack, it probably does not include Consumer Insight data." - Steve Phillips

  • "At the moment, if you talk to a lot of organizations, they're spending 80% of their time collecting data and 20% of their time to analyze it and find insight from it. We have to use technology to change that around. " - Steve Phillips

  • "For the last 10 plus years, most companies are on some journey for digital transformation." - Ryan Barry

  • “The marketing research industry is littered with great thinking, great perspective and great techniques, but it's by nature a managed service industry. And so each of these learnings that brands are collecting is living and dying in someone's head or in some PowerPoint.”- Ryan Barry

  • “We just did a survey with the AMA of 700 marketers, and 70% of them are saying the consumer data that they buy isn't being harnessed.” - Ryan Barry

  • If you don't feed fresh consumer perspective, you're going to start getting the same answers over and over again. And I think that puts brands at a massive competitive disadvantage if they're not harnessing their own data asset and diversifying it to include the voice of the customer. - Ryan Barry
