Constant Contact CMO John Orlando: “Why you need to hug and believe what your data is telling you”

Be data driven to a fault. And hug and believe what your data is telling you. Sometimes your gut instinct and emotions want to guide you in a direction, but the data may be telling you a different story. It’s important to have a marketing team with a culture that is data driven.
