Why More Data Has Made Marketing WORSE

Written by Dan Stillgoe | Feb 16, 2026 7:59:54 AM

Episode summary

In this episode, Dan and Phil break down why data abundance is actually crippling B2B marketing, from bloated CRMs packed with duplicates and stale records to attribution platforms that misdirect your budget.

They explore why your integrations fail to deliver on their promises, how misaligned systems create internal confusion, and crucially, why your sales conversations are often more valuable than any software metric. Learn which data you can actually trust, how to operationalise insights effectively, and the strategic thinking that AI can't replace.
