Caroline helps business leaders with aligning marketing initiatives effectively to achieve overarching business goals. She is a seasoned marketing and communications expert with a 13-year successful track record of blending the visionary with the integrator.

After seeing first hand how the marketing industry fuels shiny object syndrome, Caroline founded Cultiveight to address challenges faced by businesses such as limited resources and market pressures. Caroline is on a mission of supporting more business leaders to secure an integrated marketing approach that goes beyond typical
marketing gimmicks.

  • Caroline says, if you're not seeing ROI from your marketing efforts it may be a sign that something is broken.
  • Caroline discusses the need to try to optimizre what you are currently doing, before changing your marketing strategy..
  • Caroline talks about the possibility that your strategy is great, but there is a disconnect that is affecting your ROI.
  • Caroline says business owners make mistakes in their marketing because they have a narrow scope of what they're looking at to be the problem.
  • Caroline also talks about finding new ways to look at you and your business a little bit differently.

Say Goodbye To Cookies: The Future Of Digital Advertising

The Digital Slice Podcast is brought to you by The Friedman Group, LLC

Join Brad Friedman and Jeff Greenfield as they chat about the demise of the cookie and the strategies and technology marketers will use to remain innovative.

Jeff Greenfield is an entrepreneur with three decades of strategy, growth and marketing experience building and leading teams, emphasizing innovative marketing enabled by new technology.

Prior to co-founding Provalytics to build the next generation of Attribution, Greenfield led buy-side strategy, sales, and development at WideOrbit.

Prior to WideOrbit, Greenfield was the COO & co-founder of C3 Metrics, a leading multi-touch Attribution platform with clients including JP Morgan, US Bank, Hertz, Nestle, Peapod, Carhartt, Edward Jones and Fender. His technical innovations include real-time digital viewability measurement, integrated linear and OTT television measurement and the creation of a cookie-less identifier. Greenfield developed & led all GTM strategies, including conferences, the ‘This Is Attribution’ podcast, and an Attribution Certification program and grew the team to 55 with 171% YOY growth, leading to being named to Deloitte’s 2018 Technology Fast 500.

His extensive work with the Media Ratings Council led to accreditation for viewability and the creation of attribution accreditation, the first for the industry for which he was recognized at the Market Research Council, where he was named a ‘Star of Attribution’ by Sequent Partners.

Prior to C3 Metrics, Greenfield founded 1st Approach, a branded entertainment agency focused on the convergence of technology and growth marketing, where he served GlaxoSmithKline, Kimberly-Clark, Sony BMG, Black & Decker, Forest Labs and more. His creations include Verizon’s Effie award-winning ‘How Sweet The Sound,’ Medicis Pharmaceutical’s branded tour and online contest, Land Watch, the first marketplace for rural land on behalf of Plum Creek Timber/Weyerhaeuser, and Position Solutions, one of the first SaaS search engine optimization platforms.

Greenfield started his career building a chiropractic clinic, which scaled via word-of-mouth marketing by adopting a philosophy of treatment first, where no one was turned away, regardless of ability to pay, which is detailed in Chapter 5 of Buzzmarketing: Get People To Talk About Your Stuff.

Featured at hundreds of conferences, including NAPTE, NAB, Mediapost, BANFF, MASB, ANA and TVOT, with thought leadership appearing in the NY Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, ABC, CBS, and Investor’s Business Daily.

Greenfield studied Biochemistry at the University of Maryland, interned at the National Institutes of Health, and obtained his Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) and BS in Human Biology from Southern California University of Health Sciences. He is an instrument-rated pilot and a performing member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood.

Quotes from this Episode:
