Jody believes that the marketing landscape is rapidly changing. Digital has changed the way brands and consumers interact forever. Companies need to continually adapt and build new capabilities to remain competitive and deliver great customer experiences.
Marketers that successfully implement agile do so as a form of transformation—cultural as well as organizational.
Companies that have the demand, capacity, competencies—and the ability to snare the right talent—may be candidates to make the shift.
Classic marketing techniques have no place in digital marketing. If your company is still relying on ways of working that served you well ten years ago, it’s time to accelerate change.
Brands that create personalized experiences for customers are already seeing rapid revenue increases. The 15% of companies that really get personalization right will capture a disproportionate share of future profits.
Marketers still have trouble demonstrating the value they create, even despite all the data, tools, and analytics available today. Five rules help link measurement to business outcomes.
To increase their agility, chief marketing officers require very different capabilities and structures than were needed in the past.
Research shows that marketers face big gaps in essential digital skills. Closing them will require a transformation in marketing functions and in learning and development programs.
