In this episode, we’re joined by Sharon Gwati, Demand Generation Manager at Agilio Software, to explore how data storytelling can transform the way marketers design and optimise customer journeys. Drawing on insights from her BrightonSEO talk, Sharon explains how principles from hip hop, rhythm, and flow can help marketers rethink how owned data is structured and used.
We unpack the most common mistakes brands make with owned data, why dashboards alone don’t create clarity, and how narrative thinking leads to smoother, higher-converting SaaS customer journeys. Sharon also shares lessons from working with global brands and fast-moving SaaS teams, revealing how data can genuinely shape customer behaviour when used with intent.
Plus, we’re also speaking to Michelle Jay, Head of Social at Giraffe Social, to get her thoughts on why trust remains one of the most powerful (and hardest to measure) drivers of engagement, conversion, and long-term loyalty. We explore how marketers can build and protect trust in social-first, highly visible environments.
