Data? Simple. Start here. * Mark Pollard, Founder of Mighty Jungle and Former Head of Strategy and Strategy Innovation at Big Spaceship, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Leo Burnett * In a landscape weighted down by buzzwords and big concepts, Becky has crafted a thoughtful guide to navigating the art and science of data informed marketing.
