PSA! A reminder that never gets old, in fact it’s increasingly important as more of our world merges with the digital. As stewards of customer information, marketers must ensure that data is collected, stored, and used responsibly. Protecting data not only builds trust and loyalty but also safeguards against potential breaches that can harm a company's reputation and financial standing. By prioritizing data privacy, marketers can create transparent and ethical practices that foster long-term relationships with customers, comply with regulations with governments and ad platforms, and ultimately drive business success. Data is the new currency. Safeguarding privacy isn't just an option—it's a necessity. If you agree with all this, type YES! #protectdata #dataprivacy #psa

Welcome New Hires Matt Miltenberger, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Centerfield and Joshua West as our new Medicare Sales Manager with QuoteManage! About his work background, Matt writes, “I've been in the partner marketing space for nearly 15 years on the brand, agency, and most recently on the network side. I started my affiliate career by accident when I took on the channel for Cooking.com many years ago; this led to managing larger clients like T-Mobile and Expedia and growing brands like Boll & Branch and Purple Mattress when I joined an agency. The last five years I've been responsible for selling agency and network services to both mid-market and enterprise brands. Excited to join the Centerfield team!” Josh’s Favorite Place: “Snowboarding. I am an avid snowboarder and go every weekend during the season. One of the reasons I love working in Medicare is because of the time off in December. I spend almost all of my time up on the mountain.” We are so pleased to have you aboard, and can’t wait to see you hit it out of the park! #newhires #strategicpartnerships #medicaresales
