BACKGROUND

Given the significant shift and re-allocation of marketing dollars into interactive digital media channels, the CMO Council is setting up a dedicated research center focused on measuring and tracking the effectiveness, relevance and value of online marketing programs and spend. It will also examine and advocate the need for more unified and integrated approaches to managing and optimizing the fragmented interactive marketing discipline, especially across leading vertical markets. Authority leadership and content aggregation programs by the Digital Marketing Performance Institute will drive best practice adoption; audit and assess competencies and proficiencies; establish measurement models and techniques; evaluate enabling platforms, solutions and technologies; and help marketers increase visibility, compliance, accountability and ROI. 

According to an in-depth article in The McKinsey Quarterly, "The rapid growth of online advertising hides a serious challenge: the digital world has developed faster than the tools needed to measure it. This problem has made it difficult for marketers to fully exploit the Web's promise as the most targeted and measurable medium in the history of marketing.Hobbled by nascent technologies, inconsistent metrics, and a reliance on outdated media models, marketers are failing to tap the digital world's full power."

The management journal went on to state, "Unless this problem is addressed, the inability to make accurate measurements of digital advertising's effectiveness across channels and consumer touch points will continue to promote the misallocation of media budgets and to impede the industry's growth." Studies by McKinsey show that companies introducing rigorous measurement techniques report a higher level of satisfaction with digital marketing. The consulting firm also notes that over half of respondents to its online digital marketing survey of 340 senior marketers are not satisfied with the current process of allocation and measurement and are mostly using qualitative (subjective), not quantitative techniques.

To address this issue, the CMO Council will leverage its worldwide affiliate network to form a global coalition of resources and partners in the interactive digital marketing sector, conducting strategic briefings and workshops for its senior marketing members. It will also collaborate with leading solutions providers, analyst groups, consultants, functional marketing organizations and media partners, to explore various facets of online market engagement; lead acquisition and conversion; customer intimacy, listening and experience; individualized relationship management; as well as viral, word-of-mouth advocacy.
