Quotes from this Episode:
“ It's better to have less data. But data's validated. You can trust it and you can make decision based on it.” – Ivan Burban
“ I think it's also always revenue because business is about revenue or traction in revenue dynamics, but it's always about money.” – Ivan Burban
“ I have a rule that 20% of my budget and any of my resources, like team or money should work on, challenges or experiments or on new approaches that we never tried.” – Ivan Burban
“Multichannel marketing, is a key now, and you can't work with only one channel and only with one data source.” – Ivan Burban
