GDPR is not music to the ears of most B2B marketers, but it can now be experienced in aural form, thanks to a Spotify playlist drawn up by Donorfy.
The CRM platform for fundraisers has come up with a list of 78 songs designed to fit the GDPR theme. Tracks include
Keep the Customer Satisfied
by Simon & Garfunkel,
Return to Sender
by Elvis Presley and the duet
Private Number
by Judy Clay and William Bell.
Robin Fisk, founder at Donorfy and curator of the list, said: “We know that database managers everywhere are focused on the GDPR deadline, so we thought this playlist would help them as they go about their repermissioning campaigns and updating their data protection policies.”
Paul Snell, deputy editor at B2B Marketing, said: “The first song that might come to mind for B2B marketers when dealing with GDPR is the
Funeral March
, but I’m surprised Donorfy couldn’t find space for New Order’s
Age of Consent
or Bee Gees’ classic
I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You
. Although you could argue the song that sums up most marketer’s approach to GDPR is
Ball of Confusion
.”
