Driving eMarketing Performance With the Right Platforms, People, and Processes
With more than $1.5 trillion spent on marketing and communications worldwide, there are significant incentives for global enterprises to improve the way they allocate, optimize, and justify spend. Functional marketing silos are being imploded and tightly connected for improved collaboration, integration, workflow, and use of critical data using advanced marketing automation platforms.
Determining the optimal way to go to market has never been more challenging. A multitude of new media channels and online/mobile avenues of market access are fragmenting media buys. Channels of distribution are multiplying, requiring broader, more diverse, and customized marketing support. Sophisticated customer information gathering and database marketing techniques are seeing big shifts of marketing resources in areas that allow for improved behavioral targeting and personalization to optimize response and revenue potential.
Market pace and velocity require more efficient and intimate online customer engagement, quicker product uptake, and viral affirmation through social and shared interest networks, as well as greater prominence and cost-effective prospect acquisition through websites and contextual search optimization, web content delivery, and pervasive mobile connectivity with customers.
The current marketing planning process requires better data integration and analytics, more accurate forecasting and predictive modeling, higher levels of marketing group participation and accountability, as well as the deployment of closed-loop campaign performance dashboards. This will be driven by a wider embrace of marketing automation platform processes, continuous business activity monitoring, and intelligence gathering across all customer touch points, interactions, and transactions.
Today's chief marketers are challenged to staff and resource digital marketing programs, integrate offline and online campaigns, and unify disparate marketing functions. More importantly, they have to be effective at making a business case to management on how digital marketing investment and migration will drive business performance, increase customer lifetime value and retention, as well as create more adept and adaptive organizations.
"Integrate to Accelerate Digital Marketing Value" will highlight where and how marketing solution investments are improving marketing campaign effectiveness and outcomes.
