Dani Woolf, Founder and CEO of Audience 1st

Dani Woolf has spent 15 years running digital marketing and demand generation departments for high-growth B2B technology startups. 

In 2018, she ventured into the cybersecurity space and discovered that the way marketing was executed in other verticals did not work for security practitioners.

She realized marketers “talked the talk” about customer research but didn’t actually do it, foregoing customer-led growth models, which burns through budget, stunts growth, and upsets buyers.

So, she created Audience 1st, an IT customer research podcast, to help customer-obsessed go-to-market teams in both growth-stage and established cybersecurity companies quickly and cost-effectively get access to true buyer insights, cut the guesswork, gain and retain loyal customers.
