“Data tells us a story if we're willing to read that story.” – Mary Ann Pruitt
“Anytime you are trying to reach your audience and you are paying to reach your audience, that is media buying. But the first thing that you have to start with is who is my audience?” – Mary Ann Pruitt
“For the first time in American history, we have five generations with spending power and spending capabilities. That means that we need to target our audiences. And we have more capabilities to be able to target audiences ever before. But we're definitely leaving money on the table when we're not targeting correctly.” – Mary Ann Pruitt
“It's like making a turkey that you just put in the oven for an hour and then you decide to eat and pull it out of the oven.” – Mary Ann Pruitt
“Remember, niches make riches.” – Mary Ann Pruitt
