Roey Franco has spent 20 years building advertising products across platforms, agencies and emerging media. In this episode, he explains why marketers should stop making assumptions about their customers, how data can create a charmless Frankenstein ad, and why frictionless customer experiences turn purchases into advocacy.

It's easy to be blinded by data. But most of it is just noise. Every data point is rooted in human behaviour and that's what matters - asking why, staying context based, and remembering that most people don't care about your marketing. On the #ShinyNewObjectPodcast, Fiverr VP of Global Brand Communications Shiri Hellmann tells us why and how she uses AI for social listening, how she's screwed up the worst, and how to handle data in a way that makes sense.

Tune in to learn how to make more space for what matters, while still making the most of the tech revolution.

In this latest episode of the #ShinyNewObjectPodcast, we look at what the outcome looks like when you research and back up your hunches... instead of just saying "just breathe through your nose." Tune in to discover: • Why digital data is not the same as objective truth  • How AI can make audience research more scalable • Why friction can sometimes improve conversion • What happens when every marketer uses the same AI tools • Why skilled creatives remain the real competitive advantage Subscribe to keep hearing conversations about creativity, technology and the future of data-driven marketing.

Marketers need strong logic, clear reasoning, and an identity of their own before turning to AI to enhance or speed up their work. That's why Corina Bordeianu, Social Media Insights Principal at Booking.com, urges them to Read. Listen. Filter. For Corina, education is paramount to her career progression. And her view of the future of marketing: going beyond social listening to understand video intelligence and what consumers say about your brand.
