Quick answers

Who is David Rasho?

Co-founder and principal of Access 2 Insight, a Chicago data-driven-marketing consultancy founded in 2012. He came out of undergrad in 2001 into financial-services analytics and holds an MBA from Kellogg.

What did David Rasho argue at TechTO RetailTO?

Consumer-packaged-goods brands lack the transaction data, feedback loops and know-how that credit-card companies used to pioneer data-driven marketing. He urged them to build first-party data and let it drive campaigns rather than pay to append data to a preconceived target.

What does Access 2 Insight do for clients?

It builds response models, segmentations and optimization on clients' own data using SQL and SAS, without owning data or IP itself. He cited a Unilever product-launch project run with Sampler.
