Recommendation

Co-authors Tom Chavez, Chris O’Hara and Vivek Vaidya bring extensive, hands-on knowledge to their comprehensive treatise on how technology can support marketing in the digital era. Their accessible prose lays out what marketing was, what it is becoming and how to harness what it can be. The authors share decades of experience working to create and integrate the technologies and processes they describe. Their easy, entertaining read serves as a blueprint for how companies can move from the world of slow legacy systems to the flexible integration of high-speed data. This guidance will help senior marketing, technology and corporate strategy executives understand how to market to customers “in the moment.”

Take-Aways

  • Demographic segmentation is fluid and flexible in the digital age.
  • The data you collect might seem extensive, but there is “no end point.”
  • Almost 50% of the Fortune 500 use “data management platforms” (DMPs) while the other half intend to implement one. 

About the Authors

Tom Chavez recently started a venture studio for creating new technology companies. He and Vivek Vaidya co-founded Krux, a company later acquired by Salesforce, where Vaidya is now CTO of Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Chris O’Hara heads global product marketing for the Salesforce data management platform.
