80% of marketing leaders say the volume of campaigns, requests, and content increased over the last year.
That’s a lot of new work.
We surveyed 259 marketing leaders to understand how they’re overcoming challenges.
Here’s a quick look at the insights we found:
To overcome these challenges and ensure success in 2022, you need 3 key elements:
Your strategy ensures you will measure what matters.
As the marketing leader, you must consider the bigger picture: How does marketing play a role in your company’s success? How can you reach your ideal customer in a competitive field? What is your customer’s experience? What do customers want throughout the entire lifecycle and buying journey? And, can the company meet those buyers’ needs with the maximum return on investment? These questions go beyond marketing efficiency and push the boundaries of marketing innovation to move the needle on sales, customer loyalty, and lifetime customer value.
When everyone understands your larger strategy, they see how their progress can directly impact success, creating an aligned approach to data. Focus ensures you are tracking the most important key performance indicators (KPIs).
You can then structure data efficiently into timely insights to make strategic decisions.
A brilliant strategy can put you on the competitive map, but only solid execution can keep you there. You have to be able to deliver on your intent.
The secret to successful strategy execution is superpowers: a team that helps you get more done while you sleep.
As the marketing leader, you’re the face organization, the brand storyteller, the innovation catalyst, and the implementer of customer-driven growth. You are focused on operational efficiencies with an analytic mindset while creatively conceptualizing how to meet unmet needs in the marketplace and drive the next iteration of growth.
You cannot do it all.
Delegate operational responsibility, so you can focus on more strategic issues.
Make sure everyone has a good idea of the decisions and actions for which they are responsible. Provide information, structure, and motivators. Link performance to rewards.
