This week, Rick sat down with two of Think Data Group's top guys; CEO and Founder Barry Gold, and his Operations Head Mike Valant.

Together they share over 80 years of combined industry experience and talk about some case studies you probably haven't considered. Rick even threw some fresh young insight into the mix.

Tune in as they talk Big Data, Strategy, and find out about Think Data Group's new Periodic Table of Data Elements!

When we hear "historical data", we tend to think, "not for marketing", and that's not necessarily wrong. You wouldn't run a campaign with it, you'll likely have a high bounce rate with a lot of complaints, and you run the risk of contacting people that have already unsubscribed. 

What you can do with historical data is use it to make your marketing better. Historical data can help you understand what worked and didn't in past interactions. 

Rick and Ed both make the important point that a well organized contact list means more useful data in the future. Laziness in list development won't do anything to help your business. As Ed says, "if not maintained appropriately, historical can mean dysfunctional".

It’s a question we get every day: does data go bad? The short answer is yes; people’s job titles change, contact info changes, companies go under, and all of this leads to outdated data. So, it’s worth refreshing data sets every so often, but how frequently do you need to do that? To discuss, we brought on Henry Nevue of People Data Labs, and he and Rick are going to give you some insider knowledge on this hot topic!

You might not know it, but Rick sat down with Ray Esteves this week and did you a favor: they threw out a bland, complicated topic surrounding machine learning and decided to discuss ID graphs and whether or not you need them.

This week, Rick sat down with Dave Wisdom of Exponea to talk customer data platforms, or CDPs.

We know it can be hard differentiate between all the acronyms in the industry, so hopefully this clears some things up!
