Contextual CDPs, is this the next-gen?

Part 1 of 6: What Model Context Protocols mean for the future of Customer Data Platforms.

There’s been a lot of noise lately about context windows, model memory, RAG systems, and how all these emerging AI patterns might play out across industries. And if you’re working in customer data or Martech, you’ve probably felt a mix of curiosity and overwhelm. I know I have.

So let’s slow it down for a moment and approach this from a different angle. I’m not an MCP expert, far from it. This series is more about curiosity than conclusions. It’s a way for me to explore how these ideas could apply to CDPs and

Behind the scenes of Measurecamp with Kevin Swelsen

How do you keep an event free and community-driven for nearly 10 years?

This week, I sat down with Kevin Swelsen, longtime friend, freelance digital analytics and CDP consultant, and one of the organizers behind Measurecamp Amsterdam. We dive into how the event was born, what makes it work, and why community still matters in a vendor-heavy Martech world.

Kevin shares how a trip to Measurecamp London inspired a decade of volunteering, what it means to remain independent in a field full of tech stacks and sales pitches, and yes, he confirms the existence of the mythical Measurecamp socks.

The CDP Reboot: The Turning Point

Part 4 of 4: Will CDPs evolve, dissolve, or disappear?

So, here we are. Part 4. If you've made it this far through the CDP Reboot series, you’ve seen the full arc, from promise to stall to disillusionment. And now? Now we look at the turning point.

This isn’t the part where I tell you which platform to buy, or what checkbox to look for on a vendor RFP. If anything, the last three parts should’ve made it clear that’s exactly the wrong mindset.

This is about the future of the category itself. What happens next, and what should happen if we’re honest about the

How to avoid data chaos, one sunny walk at a time

Stefania Olofsdottir, CEO of Avo, shares her mission to stop bad data at the source in a walk and talk that proves you don’t need a desk to get deep about analytics.

Data chaos doesn’t wait for a boardroom. So we took this Couch Confidentials special episode outside, wandering the streets of Amsterdam with Stefania Olofsdottir during Measurecamp. We talk about the origins of Avo, trusting teams with their own datasets, and how her journey from Iceland to analytics has always centered around making data meaningful before it breaks things downstream.

☀️ Recorded on a sunny stroll.

The CDP Reboot: The Disillusionment

Part 3 of 4: Why the tech wasn’t the problem.

You bought the platform. You connected the data. The vendor promised it would all come together.

But somehow... it didn’t.

Welcome to Part 3 of the #CDPReboot series. This one’s about the part no one really wants to admit: that the technology mostly worked, but the context around it didn’t. And that’s where things started to fall apart.

This is not an exposé of CDPs. It’s a wake up call to challenge our expectations. Not the kind you can

“Who's winning the AI agent war in Martech?”

Michele Nieberding on CDPs, MCPs, and Martech strategy

This one’s been a long time coming. After a few reschedules, I finally had the pleasure of chatting with Michele Nieberding, and we went straight into the deep end of AI agents, the chaos of MCPs, and why marketers need to stop slapping "AI" on triggers and calling it innovation. We covered everything from Salesforce’s latest moves to why Aampe might just be the next unicorn in Martech.

Michele shares how product marketers are finding their way in the new wave of agentic thinking, what companies are getting wrong about AI observability, and her predictions on who’s
