Cara Olson’s Expertise An entrepreneur at heart, I made and sold my own newspapers in third grade, and owned a dog walking business at age 12. In 2004 I sold my web development business to DEG. In 2013 I was named one of Kansas City's Top 40 under 40, as well as one of the top 25 Women Who Mean Business. Today I lead sales strategy for new business opportunities across Merkle, the CXM service linef or dentsu. I work with stakeholders across our organization including our Inside and Enterprise Sales Leads, Client Services, Practice and Delivery teams, Marketing and events, Executives, and more. My team creates new opportunities with existing clients and new-to-Merkle clients. My team develops sales plays and creates materials to enable our sellers. We also curate data that is relevant for our sales teams and uncover insights to help our sellers identify opportunities and make connections. Prior to this role, I managed partnerships with alliances including ActionIQ, Amperity, mparticle, Snowflake, Tealium, Contentful, Coveo, Mirakl, Sitecore, and more. Before DEG integrated into Merkle I led a team globally recognized for our thought leadership and work in one-to-one marketing. The Relationship Marketing practice area was one of the largest at DEG, specializing in digital database marketing, specifically email marketing and mobile messaging, for major brands including AMC Theaters, Noodles World Kitchen, Crocs, the Gap brands, AMC Theatres, Hallmark, Gamestop, Party City and hundreds more. My experience building relationships within the Salesforce network gave me a solid foundation in successful partnerships to expand upon. DEG was named one of the 25 Most Audacious Companies that are Changing the World by Inc. Magazine in 2014. In 2019 DEG integrated into Merkle, a dentsu Company.
