Episode highlights

“Your ability as a business to keep up with all those changing environments is crucial. You will die if you cannot….get ahead of the curve and innovate at a speed at which you can still surprise delight your customers” – 5:14 –  Jasmin Guthmann

“Sales, marketing, and tech; the only reason that you need the technology is to deliver the marketing and the marketing, you only need to deliver the sales. So the three things have to work holistically together” – 7:09 – Katie Street

“If you are still on a monolithic system, what we call the “legacy players” – Sitecore, Adobe, Salesforce, that kind of thing. It is very hard for you to move at the speed that you need to move at. And it’s very hard for you to do anything that is outside of what the vendor that you’re currently with, foresaw that you would need” – 9:15 – Jasmin Guthmann

“I feel a bit like that with a platform we use at the moment…because I cannot do everything I need to do. They hold me in. They won’t respond to anything without charging me more money…I’m not valued. I can’t get out. I’m stuck. And it’s frustrating…when you’re trying to innovate and make a difference, and you can’t, because the technology is holding you back.” – 16:34 – Katie Street 

“What I would love is a AI tool, that can look at my feed and hook into my LinkedIn and my Instagram and say ”this is me, this is how I talk.” This is my tonality for me and the same for Street Agency.” – 27:16 – Katie Street 

“Find something that you’re passionate about, find something that you want to understand and find something that keeps you on your toes while you’re digging deeper and deeper into that. No technology in the world can take that from you. ” 30:17 – Jasmin Guthmann

“Do we want to create a world where access to data is a privilege? And only certain people have access to certain kinds of datasets? Do we want to go back to the Middle Ages? We need to find new solutions to the new problems that we’re having.” 32:44 –  Jasmin Guthmann
