Episode 76 - How Data and AI Are Shaping the Future of CPG Marketing with Melanie Huet of Newell Brands
“And I do think CFOs have kind of fallen in love with performance marketers because they'll walk in and be able to talk about this dollar drove this conversion, this ROIs. And that's really a CFO's dream. But in my mind, it's one conversation. Because also like you mentioned, Paul, when a consumer sees an ad on Instagram, they don't know if they're receiving an upper funnel brand building ad or a targeted communication to drive conversion. They just know they're seeing a message. And that's why I feel so strongly that we really need to be one team.” Melanie Huet, President of Brand Management and Innovation at Newell Brands
