About Theia
I’m Sam 👋 After a dozen-plus years working in marketing, ecommerce and product, I found myself more often than not having to piece together odds and ends of what I knew about customers from what was available.
Whether I was working on conversion rate optimization, performance marketing campaigns or go-to-market strategy, I was always asking myself “How can I know more about the customer?” Using customer insights from the data I had available was enormously helpful, and now I want to help others reap the same rewards.
Nowadays, there’s more data out there than ever. More information, however, does not mean more intimacy. Learn about your customers and grow sustainably by knowing who your customers really are.
