BEHIND THE EXPERIENCE
SparkToro’s fully-featured free queries ft. Amanda Natividad and Casey Henry
Today's guests are here to give you a quick rundown on how to become a better marketer with the help of SparkToro. SparkToro is an audience research tool that shows the websites your customers visit, their social media accounts, hashtags they use, and more. In this episode, Co-Founder Casey Henry and VP of Marketing Amanda Natividad will give us a full rundown on how they define user success by providing quality over quantity in their product metrics.
Quotes:
“Stories are what capture our attention first.”
"It’s a logical next step to show people the true power. We’re playing the fine line of trying to have a free product forever where somebody can come in and gain value from a free product that provides sample data. However, a premium product for full data is still available."
