According to the Adobe Digital Trends report, marketing has changed more in the past two years than in the past 50. Digital has reshaped brand interactions across the purchase cycle. Consumers are increasingly willing to share information, expecting personalized experiences in return, and online competitors are on the verge of taking over customer relationships.

Personalization Requires a Digital Transformation

As digital budgets skyrocket, marketers struggle to accurately tie spending back to profits. Those who do are frequently underwhelmed by their digital ROI. Several challenges get in the way: agencies and publishers, compensated primarily on volume, do not have a direct incentive to eliminate wasteful spend; budgets tend to shift away from “top of funnel” tactics that have high ROI but are hard to measure; and becoming data-centric often requires an overhaul of legacy processes as well as adoption of a new technology ecosystem.
