Todd Knutson, CEO

"At its core, this is a relationship business. All the data in the world won't change that. That's why the value of what we provide hinges on the work our people put into building, maintaining, and updating our information. Our success, and our motivation, is revealing opportunities that enable our clients to win. That means building a database that is both deep and wide. Our niche is larger companies that buy marketing services. Our commitment is to verify every piece of contact information at least once every 120 days so what you get is accurate, informative, and actionable. No other marketing database invests the kind of personal resources we do in making sure our clients make more efficient use of their time winning more business."

Jamie Bloomquist, Director of Marketing

"When you need to connect with marketing, advertising and media decision makers it's because you face specific goals, challenges or problems. At The List, our core marketing task is to stand in your shoes.

After 20-plus years in marketing and advertising, on both the client and agency sides, I know in my gut what research confirms: You work in a climate of manic urgency; budgets are tight, resources precious, momentum racing against time. What keeps you awake at night is the challenge of making prompt, cost-effective and productive connections with marketing, advertising or media decision makers. That's your toss and turn. And why wouldn't it be? Monthly quota, next quarter's revenue, the rest of your career; they're all riding on it. Over the years, I've used or had exposure to all of The List's competitors. The List is the only one that will let you sleep all night. If you want proof, take our free trial. Pleasant dreams."

Katie Lail, Human Resource Director

"Our people are our value proposition, so we're very selective when we hire. Our employees must have passion, curiosity, integrity, and dedication to provide the comprehensive research that our clients expect.

We truly believe in the vital function we play for our clients, because our business isn't ultimately about the data. It's about the relationships that are built based on our accurate and deep information. From research to sales, everyone here measures their personal performance by our clients' success."

Amy Florence, Director of Product Experience

"Our clients count on us for accurate prospecting information. That requires methodical research, conducted by tenacious people who take our responsibility seriously. They strive to dig deeper and uncover the detailed information that is so valuable.

We always listen carefully to our clients' feedback - most of our product improvements are a direct result of their suggestions."

History of The List

Our business was founded in 1995 as a resource for creative freelancers to find work with ad agencies. Around 1998, we realized that agency new business directors were struggling to locate appropriate marketing contacts in their efforts to win new business. We began to offer corporate information from a wide range of industries. By 2001, our database had developed into a valuable resource for agencies across the country.

In 2002, we launched The List Online. Interactive media provided the perfect solution to providing a live and up-to-date prospecting resource for a variety of clients across the marketing spectrum. We have capitalized on this momentum, continuing to develop innovative means of sharing valuable contact information, leads, and sales intelligence solutions to our clients.

As we look to the future, we will continue to collaborate with our clients and introduce new services that bring the marketing world together in more productive endeavors.
