In an ever-changing world, consumer needs and expectations are rapidly evolving. And digital marketing organizations must understand these shifts, and respond quickly to them. BCG helps companies develop the human and technical capabilities that foster speed, precision, and growth.
Digital channels are essential social and economic infrastructure. COVID-19 accelerated this trend, as consumers moved online at an unprecedented rate and digital became—as it will remain—a critical enabler of business continuity. Not surprisingly, CMOs are under increasing pressure to boost the performance of their digital marketing strategy and capabilities.
The key is to be bionic, leveraging the right mix of human and technical enablers: the skills, processes, marketing analytics, KPIs, and ways of working that create value and growth. With so many pieces to fit together, finding the ideal framework for digital marketing might seem like an impossible goal. But it can be done.
By taking a bionic approach, we help identify, develop, and implement all the components for digital marketing transformation. We work with clients to define outcomes—and build an agile, integrated, sustainable foundation for achieving them.
We can do this because our expertise spans the breadth of strategy, technology, and digital optimization:
