Strategic Database & Direct Marketing - Connect5Marketing, Principal
Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area
Having over 13 years of experience in direct and database marketing, I have seen the use of data driven strategies expand to many areas within the marketing spectrum. Customer and response analytics are now the strategic drivers that dictate the marketing approach, as the data continues to tell the real story. The worlds of Database Marketing, Business Intelligence and Direct Marketing are now being integrated to provide a more potent marketing program. As advertisers and companies are more cautious with their marketing expenditures, they are shifting towards a micro-marketing model and are choosing to be more stratified and targeted with their contact and messaging strategy. Identifying who their best customers are, building relationships with them and prospecting for more like them are even more a top priority. Connect5Marketing is poised to apply these Database Marketing principles and analytics to effectively develop more precise targeting and fuel more relevant one-to-one relationships for improved performance, lower costs, higher ROIs and an enhanced customer experience.
Connect5Marketing also specializes in database development. We build and manage data warehouses for marketing execution. We also help develop data collection strategies through multiple channels and platforms.
As a Principal of Connect5Marketing, my goal is to help companies execute and develop highly successful direct marketing initiatives by using actionable and meaningful analytics, as well as proven database marketing strategies. Visit www.connect5marketing.com for more info.
Connect5Marketing also partners with Advertising Agencies to help support any of their direct and database marketing initiatives. We act as an extension of the Agency and operate under their brand name. To find out more about our Partnership Program, email Partnerships@Connect5Marketing.com.
