Product data + customer quotes. It's the foolproof formula that's helped Transcend change the customer storytelling game.
In this episode, guest host
Alex Eaton (Director of Product Marketing at UserEvidence) chats with
Phyllis Fang, Head of Marketing at
Transcend, about how her team turns complex, compliance-heavy work into creative, campaign-worthy stories. Think: Spotify Wrapped, but for data privacy.
Phyllis breaks down how they built and scaled
“Data Rights Unwrapped”—a personalized, metrics-driven campaign that combines product usage data and customer feedback to tell stories that actually stick. We dig into how they’re using original research to reshape category perception, and how the sales team leans on proof points to close big enterprise deals.
