Today on The GDPR Series podcast, our focus is data protection and privacy compliant marketing. I chat with an expert marketing strategist about positive, permission-based marketing and how the personal data of your customer is a gift from them to you. Besides some great discussion on the principles underpinning data protection – the GDPR – (and privacy), we have a bit of a chat about some marketing history and how strategies have evolved a little. One certain book has been a bit of a revelation to me – completely missed that one! Listen to find out more.
