“It's really important to me that my teams have a culture of data. How is that woven into the fabric of our marketing work? It's not just enough to do, you have to make sure it is performing and you have to make sure it is resonating with your customers. It's not just like, ‘Did this do well or did it not?’ If it's not doing well, it's not resonating with their customers.” – Shannon Duffy
