David B. Thomas - InstagramData Mining for Content

It’s easy to spend a lot of time on crafting the perfect content for your product. From blog posts to social to video, the different vehicles to propagate your content can keep you busy for hours. Once the message is ready for delivery, there is nothing more satisfying than hitting send.
However, without the properly reviewed data, hitting send on the perfect content could actually hurt your sales and completely undo all your hard work.
With 20 years of B2B marketing experience (the past 8 of those years focused on content and social) Dave understands how to balance creativity with data. His thorough approach to pairing compelling content with vetted data led a unified content and social media marketing team at Salesforce that generated 15% of all valid leads in North America in 2014 and more than $150MM in pipeline.
Combining Dave’s expertise in content and skill with data ensures that every piece has the best possible audience to make the largest impact on your business.
