“Peter has an ideal blend of data expertise, communications skills and relationship-building experience,” said Jake Berry, EVP/GM of the Marilyn team at The Mars Agency. “He will be instrumental in helping us create an even stronger partner ecosystem to fuel the analytics power of Marilyn.”
The data-driven Marilyn martech platform is designed to measure “Total Business Impact,” the full contribution that commerce marketing makes to a brand’s bottom line. Clients who leverage the platform improve the performance of their commerce marketing efforts by an average of 21% by leveraging richer insight into program performance and optimizing their marketing investments
Gent has more than 10 years of experience at sales and marketing-focused data companies. Most recently, he spent eight-plus years as Director of Data Partnerships at The Trade Desk, where he established, fostered, and managed numerous relationships with global industry partners across the ad tech ecosystem.
