Founder & CEO @ Audience 1st | Content @ Nucleus Security | Customer Research Certified

My name is Dani Woolf. 

I've spent the last 15+ years running digital marketing and demand generation departments for high-growth B2B technology startups.

In 2018, I joined the cybersecurity industry and discovered the way marketing is executed in other verticals does not work in the security space.

I realized marketers talk about pursuing customer research but don't do it, foregoing customer-led growth models which burns through budget, stunts growth, and upsets buyers.

So, I created Audience 1st, a modern customer research agency, to help customer-obsessed go-to-market teams in growth-stage cybersecurity companies quickly and cost-effectively get access to true buyer insights, cut the guesswork, gain and retain loyal customers.

I keep hearing from clients that analysts aren't giving them the deep insight they're paying for.

Why would they?

Think about the incentive structure for a second.

An analyst at a major research firm is covering an entire market segment. 

They're tracking dozens (sometimes hundreds) of vendors. 

They're fielding inquiry calls. 

Writing research notes. 

Updating frameworks. 

Preparing for conferences.

They don't have time to go DEEP on your buyer dynamics.

So what happens instead?

The information flow runs in the OPPOSITE direction.

Let that sink in.

The analysts are taking insight FROM YOU.

They're using your briefings to understand the market. 

They're asking about your customer patterns. 

Your win/loss data. 

Your competitive intelligence.

They're extracting your hard-won knowledge and synthesizing it into their frameworks.

Then they package that synthesis and sell it...to other vendors trying to understand the market, and to buyers trying to evaluate vendors.

Think about what this actually means:

You're paying for access to buyer insight. 

That's the value proposition. 

That's what justifies the $50K+ investment.

But the analyst is extracting insight from YOU to package and sell to others.

You're not the customer.

You're the product.

Co-Founder @ CyberSynapse.io | Host of Cooking with CISOs | VP of Marketing @ The CyberNest | CEO @ Audience 1st

My ideal role includes learning difficult concepts, technology and products and through sales, coaching, and writing to communicate with a wide variety of audiences: I'm particularly fascinated by Cybersecurity (ZeroTrust,  SASE, Resilience, Risk Assessment etc,) its evolving complexity and its theoretical and realistic technical, social and political underpinnings. 

I bring to the table a strong intellect, a passion for understanding people and an interest in technology, how it works at a macro level and how I can use it to help others.

My other passion is mindset, mental growth, neuroscience,  and being a conduit for the mental well- being of others.
