Today, I am interviewing Jason Anderson, Chief Operating Officer of Andzen - an ecommerce lifecycle marketing agency partnered with JustUno, Klaviyo, Loyalty Lion, and Shopify…

Joining Jason is Derek Booth, Director of Strategic Partnerships at JustUno.

These two are long time user-first partners, but Derek has taken over there account and managed it for about a year now during one of the most important times to maintain close relationships with those great ecommerce partners.
