Ben's profile

Ben Salmon
Ben Salmon Co Founder We Are Crank
United Kingdom

I’ve held global roles with leading marketing technology companies – Unica, Chordiant, smartFOCUS, Pitney Bowes Software. I’ve led the data charge at big agencies – RAPP and DDB. Now I work directly with brands, agencies and technologists who want to take control of their own marketing data destinies. How? I bridge opposing sides, technology and marketing; conceptual creativity and analytic thinking. This is achieved by translating marketers’ ambitions into pragmatic action by aligning data capabilities with practical marketing goals and revenue. I spend my spare time driving race cars at absurd speed, which is wholly irrational.

Skills

Examples include CRM, Campaign management, Marketing automation, Database Marketing , Marketing Analytics, Email Marketing, Multi Channel Marketing, Customer Interaction Marketing, Real time decisioning, Marketing & Technology Strategy, Integrated Marketing Systems, Single Customer View
