The Marketing Rapport

Personalization Lessons from Wendy’s David Galinsky

Verisk Marketing Solutions Season 3 Episode 14

How do you build loyalty in a category with high-frequency visits and low brand attachment? In this episode of The Marketing Rapport, host Tim Finnigan sits down with David Galinsky, Senior Director of Omnichannel Analytics at The Wendy’s Company, to explore that question.


David walks through three foundational models for understanding and engaging customers: loyalty segmentation, behavioral patterns in product purchases, and churn propensity. He explains why first-party data outperforms third-party sources—especially in quick service restaurants where visit volume and purchase frequency offer rich behavioral signals.
