From Data Chaos to Loyalty Success: Insights with HEMOData

Our founders, Dustyn Smith and Luke Cann joined Lisa Brightwell on the Let's Talk Loyalty Podcast. They shared how organizations can turn fragmented data into actionable insights. Learn about purposeful data collection, breaking silos, AI done right, and building loyalty programs that truly engage customers.

Loyalty doesn’t succeed on points alone; it succeeds on reliable data, clear goals, and a culture that knows how to use both. In this conversation with host Lisa Brightwell, HEMOdata’s co-founders Luke Cann and Dustyn Smith explain how brands can move from theory to practice: define the outcomes that matter, map the data that supports them, and align people, processes, technology, and governance to deliver.

They break down the “privacy operational life cycle,” share real-world pitfalls (like siloed systems and one-dimensional profiles), and show how trusted data fuels AI that actually helps customers. Expect practical frameworks, memorable analogies (Ozzy Osbourne ≠ Prince Charles), and a simple truth: before AI, get the foundations right.

Listen in to learn:

  • How to connect goals → data → outcomes
  • Why governance and data quality are non-negotiable
  • When to use auto-capture vs. custom tracking
  • How literacy and culture reduce risk and unlock value
