We aim to deliver just that and not hide behind metrics that are mere leads driven,” said 0101.today managing partner Ajay Verma. “We help businesses collect and organise their data and drive data-driven marketing programs, at the same time taking responsibility of outcomes”

    The inception of 0101.today was spurred by the desire of the founding members to build a company that helps in improving customer acquisition. The firm delivers the same by auditing existing Martech tools and reengineering the company’s data flows to unify data for all across the organisation.

    “As a marketer, I know the struggle is really about focusing on day-to-day work vs. foundational work. A lot of CMOs face challenges regarding which platforms or stack to invest in, and how do we really get ROI on investments,” said managing partner Jayraj Jadhav. “There is a need to work on strategy, stack and structure together. As a martech proponent we decided to get a team of experts together to help CMOs in this mission. We have built proven frameworks that will help deliver conversion and growth at scale”

After working in agencies, I realised that most of them get restricted to one or two platforms to drive performance,” commented managing partner Mihir Mehta. “The need of the hour is that brands have to move fast with sharp, smart, and more adaptable solutions without restricting themselves to platforms. This is what inspired us to change the outlook and create data-driven solutions aimed towards growth and conversions,” 

    “In the game of growth marketing and conversions, emphasis is laid on consumer touchpoint as well as the medium of the message, unfortunately, ignoring the message itself. We aim to put personalised messaging at the centre of our data-backed conversion strategy,” added Shivi Verma who joins as director – growth.
