Executive Summary
Digital is changing the world and
chief marketing officers (CMOs)
know it. They are embracing
digital channels with fervor, but
it’s time to do more. The prize is
not mastery of the channels but
command of the opportunities
to delight customers and drive
superior business outcomes.
Then the reward for customers
and marketers alike becomes
relevant and seamless experiences
from brand promise through
brand delivery.
This is a digital transformation that
requires an outside-in or customer-focused
orientation. Given CMOs’ understanding
of the brand and the customer, they are
the natural leaders, able to envision a
transformation that bridges the entire
customer experience, including sales, service
and product. The ability to wield, rather than
be overwhelmed by, digital technologies
will be critical, as will cutting across current
functional boundaries. By collaborating with
other C-suite executives and drawing on
external partners to boost internal expertise,
CMOs can become more visible change
agents for digital transformation.
These are some of the key findings from
the 2014 Accenture Interactive CMO Insights
survey of nearly 600 senior marketing
executives from 11 countries and 10 industries.1
The findings suggest that CMOs are selling
themselves short. The question isn’t whether
they can effectively take advantage of digital
channels—they are proving they can—but
whether they can be catalysts working across
the organization to welcome the broader
digital opportunities and protect against
the digital threats.
Winning CMOs:
• Lead and transform the marketing
role as a digital perspective transforms
the enterprise.
• Embrace the full omni-channel
customer experience.
• Integrate channels with real-time
analytics and then act on the insights.
• Invest in agile technologies and
cloud-based services.
• Re-orient the marketing operating model
and integrate new talent to harness
digital innovation.
As every business becomes a digital business,
C-suite executives will need to collaborate
to drive successful digital transformation.
No CMO wants to be left on the sidelines.
A new generation of digital natives is fast
approaching—with emerging roles such as
chief digital officer, chief customer officer
and chief experience officer included in the
digital lineup. Sidestepping the confines
of traditional marketing to deliver a
more relevant and integrated customer
experience across the business, will help
ensure the future of the CMO on the
digital playing field.

Seeing the full
digital opportunity
The marketing world is changing fast and digital opportunities are leading the
charge. Fully three-quarters of respondents (78%) to Accenture’s research believe
that marketing will undergo fundamental change over the next five years. Also not
surprising: of the top three changes cited, analytics, digital and mobile are the key
drivers. High-growth companies2 in particular say their investments in these three
areas are paying off, especially to improve customer experience.

2 High-growth companies are self-identified and have an increase of 6% or more in annual sales.
CMOs predict that:
• Analytical skills will become
a core competence.
• Digital budgets will account for more
than 75% of the marketing budget.
• Mobile will account for more than
50% of the marketing budget.
What is surprising is that CMOs do not seem
to be fully engaged. The proof? Only 21% of
CMOs believe their company will be known
as a digital business in five years. To be part
of the enterprise digital transformation that
every business needs to undertake for survival,
CMOs need to extend their vision of
marketing and its scope.
Meanwhile, emerging-market CMOs tell
an entirely different story. Some 69% believe
it is important to transform into a digital
business, compared to 49% of mature-
market CMOs. The gulf further widens
when asked the importance of transforming
third parties (vendors, partners or
independent distributors) to a digital
model (69% emerging vs. 41% mature).
Emerging markets
jump ahead
Only 18% of CMOs in established markets
believe their company will become known
as a digital business, but one-third (32%)
of senior marketing leaders in emerging
markets think that way. Marketers in
emerging countries also are twice as
confident in their ability to transform into
a digital business (70% vs. 38% in mature
economies). While they’re willing to try a
variety of methods to achieve their strategic
marketing objectives, emerging-market
CMOs are much more likely to initiate or
complete a companywide transformation
to become more digitally focused
(71% vs. 42% for mature markets).
Confidence in digital
channels on the rise
While most marketers have not
yet committed to thinking of their
companies as digital businesses,
they are definitely on board with
digital channels, investing more,
focusing more and achieving
more results.
Making more and better use of digital
channels is one of the key areas to show a
significant jump in marketers’ confidence over
the past year, with a 10% increase. Year-on-
year improvements in channel effectiveness
show that digital channels lead the way, with
online display advertising, search engine
optimization, mobile and social media all
ranking highly.

The death of telemarketing?
Telemarketing slid precipitously as an
effective channel from 2012 to 2014.
Effectiveness dropped from 58% to 48%;
perhaps as a result, its importance
dropped from 74% to 51%.
The rise of an old standby
While telemarketing fell, low-cost email
rose as an effective channel. As email’s
importance improved from 58% to 66%,
its effectiveness increased commensurately,
from 44% to 58%.
Meanwhile, a generational divide is
opening up with respect to mobile.
Marketing executives who grew up with
digital devices—those under 35—give
significantly more weight to mobile (38%)
than their more seasoned colleagues (18%).
Mobility is a game changer for younger
marketing executives. Seven out of 10
marketers aged 50 and younger believe that
mobile is an important channel for reaching
customers and prospects, compared with
fewer than five out of 10 aged 51 and older.
This is the difference between digital natives—
those who were raised with digital channels—
and those who have had to adapt to digital.
For younger marketers, mobile is not a
channel but a lifestyle.
Budgets for digital marketing also continue
to rise. Today, 39% of businesses surveyed
spend more than $100 million on digital
marketing. Slightly more (41%) expect that
budget to rise by more than 5% in their next
fiscal year. Only 8% see any kind of cutback
in digital marketing spending next year.

Digital channels are proving
pivotal to how an entire
organization competes,
innovates and enhances
the customer experience.
High-growth companies in
Accenture’s research say that
analytics and digital channels
became significantly more
important between 2012 and
2014—analytics by 15 points
(from 71% to 86%) and digital
channels also by 15 points
(from 69% to 84%). At the
same time, it became easier to
succeed in both of these areas
for high-growth companies,
which reaped the rewards of
more intense investment
and resourcing.
CMOs in low-growth companies should take
note of the areas their better-performing
colleagues rate as important to their
success. Gaps as much as 20 points or more
are reported in the very areas that help
marketing perform better—analytics, digital
channels and technology, for example.
As high-growth companies demonstrate,
digital’s potential stretches way beyond a
new distribution channel. Digital represents a
wave of transformational opportunities—and
threats—that comprise the ecosystem in
which we live, work and play. In this digital
world, technology is changing the game and
consumers are making—and breaking—the
rules. That makes every business a digital
business, whether it sells widgets or WiFi.
Every business requires a digital orientation,
meaning a digital focus in all business
processes and functions.

Customer experience
lags behind
The point of efficient digital
channels, of course, is to ensure
that they are effective as well, and
the biggest proof of effectiveness
lies in the customer’s interactions
with the brand.
Some 77% of marketers say it is essential
or very important to deliver an effective
customer experience for their company,
but only 62% think they’re doing a good job.
High-growth companies are more focused
on the importance of customer experience
(89%), compared to only 60% of
low-growth companies.
And customer experience is the #1 recipient
of investments among high-growth
companies (at 69%) out of 26 options, versus
40% for low-growth companies. Clearly,
high-growth companies have grasped a key
insight: today’s digital customer expects a
relevant and delightful customer experience
at all times and across all channels.
A seamless brand experience is key for today’s
tech-savvy, multi-device-owning customer.
Interesting then, only one-third of high-
growth companies report their online and
offline analytic capabilities are completely
integrated across all functions—though
that is considerably more than the 14% of
low-growth companies and 19% of average
growers. The reality is that challenges still
exist for all companies looking to integrate
offline and online channels.

Who’s driving digital
transformation?
A digital orientation can enable
nothing less than complete
transformation of the operating
and business model. More
than half (52%) of C-suite
executives, recently surveyed by
Accenture and The Economist
Intelligence Unit expect digital
to cause significant change or
complete transformation in
their industries.3
So great is the
expected transformation that
42% of executives expect the
biggest barrier to implementing
digital business initiatives will be
managing change.
So where is the CMO in this transformation?
Barely visible. One-third of C-suite executives
(35%) say the CEO is responsible for digital
innovation. The chief technology officer
and chief information officer follow closely
at 23% and 22% respectively. The CMO,
however, is at 1%.
The question is not whether CMOs can
effectively take advantage of digital
channels; it’s whether they can be a
change agent, helping the organization
embrace the broader digital opportunity
and protect against the broader digital
threats. The CMO is well positioned to
assume this role because the opportunities
and threats are all about the customer,
the brand, the interface with the customer
and how the customer is empowered.
No one should have the pulse of that
better than CMOs.
However, they are so focused on leveraging
digital channels that they are missing the
full potential of the broader digital playing
field. This has given rise to a variety of new
roles, such as chief digital officers (CDOs),
emerging to fill the gap and join the team.
The rise of the CDO
It’s a title you hear more and more as digital
capabilities take hold. Chief digital officers are
deeply committed to a digital vision. They act as
a catalyst for digital transformation, someone
the CMO should work closely with to enable a
cross-functional focus on customer experience.
CDOs are concerned with every digital
touchpoint—where data is going and how
it is used. According to the survey findings,
CDOs think they do a very good job in areas
like efficiently running the same content and
campaigns across multiple branded websites
(60% vs. 50% for CMOs) and improving the
e-commerce platform (60% vs. 45%).
CDOs also are staunch believers in the
marketing function. They are very likely to
say that CMOs will be the most important
relationship for the CEO over the next five
years, surpassing other C-suite executives.

With the increasing pace of
technology and device innovation,
it is not surprising that one in
four CMOs cite a lack of critical
technology or tools as the chief
barrier to digital integration.
Interestingly, that number remains
the same whether a company has
high-, low- or average-growth,
and it represents more than a 10%
gain over last year. CMOs know a
plethora of digital technologies to
leverage; their challenge, however,
is to rally around the right ones
for their business.

High performers Stayed the same Low performers
The volume and variety of today’s
technology can easily overwhelm.
It comes in smaller, more flexible
solutions than the big CRM systems of
old, putting a premium on knowing a
wide variety of providers’ products and
understanding their capabilities. What’s
more, new technologies need to be
piloted and adapted from experience.
They must be agile and modular, allowing
a test, learn and “fail fast” approach.
This can be a tall order for marketers
accustomed to working with legacy
systems on internal platforms rather
than flexible e-services in the cloud. In
collaborating with the CIO, CMOs can stay
focused on the customer experience and
cherry-pick technologies that help delight
their customers.

Omni-channel customer experience took a
hit last year. Performance fell across four
key metrics: ability to build long-lasting
customer relations, design and deliver
branded customer experiences, use multiple
channels strategically and leverage digital
channels. Whether high-growth or low-
growth company, B2B, B2C or B2B2C,
marketers also report that the importance
of offering an omni-channel experience
declined as well.
One set of numbers tells the story in sharp
relief. CMOs report that their ability to use
multiple channels strategically and in an
integrated and consistent way fell seven
points in 2014 from 2012 (from 53% to
46%), but the importance of mastering the
multi-channel customer experience fell even
more—by 14 points (from 71% to 57%).
This trend doesn’t bode well for any
industry but especially not for retail, where
the omni-channel customer experience is
fast becoming the norm. It is now a brand
differentiator, according to a recent study
Forrester conducted for Accenture and
hybris, an SAP company.4
Omni-channel experience suffers
4 Forrester Consulting, Customer Desires Vs. Retailer Capabilities: Minding the Omni-Channel Commerce Gap,
March 17, 2014.
While senior marketers have succeeded in hiring more talent with digital,
analytical and technical skills, the impact has yet to show up in improved
performance. In fact, satisfaction with key marketing capabilities has
declined in precisely those areas where internal resourcing has increased.
Capabilities in customer and digital
analytics, for example, show a 10-point
decline in satisfaction from last year to
this year. Customer experience and
content management capabilities also
show declines in satisfaction year over
year. In all these cases, more internal
resources are being used.
Ironically, marketers say their external
partners are doing a better job. Agencies
are bringing more creative ideas and
understanding CMOs’ business better
(both 34%). Agencies also are assuming
more responsibility for digital marketing
programs and being more of a strategic
driver and partner in the planning process
(both 31%). So CMOs are not moving more
capabilities internally because external
partners are doing a poor job. Rather, they
want to upskill their own people and move
more core marketing functions inside.
The tradeoff, however—at least for the
time being—is lower satisfaction levels.

Time to get in the game
There’s a larger game being played on the digital field today. Just at
the moment when CMOs are optimizing digital marketing channels,
the digital opportunity itself is expanding. It’s significantly more
profound and potentially more disruptive. To achieve substantial
change, here are five ways CMOs can get in the game and be a vital
partner in the digital transformation of their organization:
Set your sights on an enterprise-wide
digital ecosystem and the role of marketing
within it. Aim to create multi-channel,
personalized experiences for each
customer across the brand. Don’t wait for
all the technology to be ready. Select a
few channels now, offer more than one
experience and begin to test and learn.
Then review the data and shift your tactics
and technology if necessary. The key is to
start now, collaborate across the business
and keep at it.
While CMOs own the brand promise, fewer
than half (49%) say they own the customer
experience. Among high-growth companies,
however, that number jumps 10 points, to
59%. Among low-growth companies, it
falls 12 points, to 37%. Clearly sales growth
is affected when customer experience is
emphasized. All the more reason, then,
for CMOs to own it.

Some ways to do so:
• Reverse engineer marketing initiatives
around desired outcomes—which aren’t
always sales transactions.
• Empathize with your customers. Evolve
marketing initiatives to engage, share and
help your customers, rather than target,
capture and convert them.
• Engage customers in an ongoing dialogue
instead of individual transactions. Treat
your customer as a continuous relationship
that covers the whole spectrum of sales,
service, retention and loyalty.
Transform the marketing
role as a digital perspective
transforms the enterprise.
Embrace the full
omni-channel
customer experience.
Today’s technology—like today’s
customers—is non-stop. “Test, learn
and earn” is the new maxim. Move
incrementally and add e-services managed
through the cloud. As the focus on
systems gives way to a focus on the
customer, you can relax your constraints,
begin to scale and score more goals.
Capturing channel analytics and
presenting them in dashboards is no
longer enough. Apply your hard-earned
insights to multi-channel experiences
and ongoing experience management in
flexible and powerful ways.
As you hire talent with skills in analytics,
mobile and digital, integrate them in a
way that produces different outcomes.
Talent needs to be empowered to work
together across the organization in new
operating models that recognize the
primacy of digital marketing and the
importance of customer experience.
What good is it, for example, to plug
analytics talent into a traditional
marketing operating model when you
really want an integrated, end-to-end
customer experience driven by analytics?
What good are new outcomes in old
delivery models?
Integrate channels with real-
time analytics and then act
on the insights.
Invest in agile
technologies and
cloud-based services.
Re-orient the marketing operating
model and integrate new talent
to harness digital innovation.
Making a complete digital transformation
means aligning and executing these three
elements together, even if maturity among
them varies. High-growth companies
already have learned this lesson. They are
rapidly creating a digital ecosystem that
marries analytic insights and actions across
customers’ preferred channels. They are
attracting talent who create experiences
that allow their companies to leapfrog
the competition.
Customers are demanding a relevant and
delightful experience at all times and across
all channels. Digital, analytics and mobile
are disrupting both the marketplace and
the role of the CMO. As the customer’s chief
advocates within the enterprise, CMOs can
be the change agents who break the silos
and collaborate across the organization

CMOs: Time for digital transformation or risk being left on the sidelines

  • 1. Accenture Interactive CMOs: Time for digital transformation Or risk being left on the sidelines

  • 3. 1 All tables and research data provided in this report reference findings from this survey unless otherwise stated. Executive Summary Digital is changing the world and chief marketing officers (CMOs) know it. They are embracing digital channels with fervor, but it’s time to do more. The prize is not mastery of the channels but command of the opportunities to delight customers and drive superior business outcomes. Then the reward for customers and marketers alike becomes relevant and seamless experiences from brand promise through brand delivery. This is a digital transformation that requires an outside-in or customer-focused orientation. Given CMOs’ understanding of the brand and the customer, they are the natural leaders, able to envision a transformation that bridges the entire customer experience, including sales, service and product. The ability to wield, rather than be overwhelmed by, digital technologies will be critical, as will cutting across current functional boundaries. By collaborating with other C-suite executives and drawing on external partners to boost internal expertise, CMOs can become more visible change agents for digital transformation. These are some of the key findings from the 2014 Accenture Interactive CMO Insights survey of nearly 600 senior marketing executives from 11 countries and 10 industries.1 The findings suggest that CMOs are selling themselves short. The question isn’t whether they can effectively take advantage of digital channels—they are proving they can—but whether they can be catalysts working across the organization to welcome the broader digital opportunities and protect against the digital threats. Winning CMOs: • Lead and transform the marketing role as a digital perspective transforms the enterprise. • Embrace the full omni-channel customer experience. • Integrate channels with real-time analytics and then act on the insights. • Invest in agile technologies and cloud-based services. • Re-orient the marketing operating model and integrate new talent to harness digital innovation. As every business becomes a digital business, C-suite executives will need to collaborate to drive successful digital transformation. No CMO wants to be left on the sidelines. A new generation of digital natives is fast approaching—with emerging roles such as chief digital officer, chief customer officer and chief experience officer included in the digital lineup. Sidestepping the confines of traditional marketing to deliver a more relevant and integrated customer experience across the business, will help ensure the future of the CMO on the digital playing field. Insights from leading marketers around the world
  • 4. Areas of fundamental change for marketing over the next five years (%) 42Analytics skills will be a core competence of marketing 34Marketing will become more of an on-demand information provision function 27 Earned media will be more important and receive more support than paid and owned media 35Mobile will account for over 50% of the marketing budget 32 We will not know what a marketing campaign will look like in advance: campaigns will unfold in real time, depending on the individual needs and intents of each customer across every device and channel 21 CMOs will be the most important relationship for CEOs, surpassing the CFO and other C-suite executives 21We will be known as a digital company 37Digital budgets will account for over 75% of the marketing budget 34Marketing, Sales, and Customer Service will be merged into a single function 26Marketing and IT will be merged into a single function Seeing the full digital opportunity The marketing world is changing fast and digital opportunities are leading the charge. Fully three-quarters of respondents (78%) to Accenture’s research believe that marketing will undergo fundamental change over the next five years. Also not surprising: of the top three changes cited, analytics, digital and mobile are the key drivers. High-growth companies2 in particular say their investments in these three areas are paying off, especially to improve customer experience. 5/10 7/10 71% 57% 78% 2014 –2019 86% 2 High-growth companies are self-identified and have an increase of 6% or more in annual sales.
  • 5. CMOs predict that: • Analytical skills will become a core competence. • Digital budgets will account for more than 75% of the marketing budget. • Mobile will account for more than 50% of the marketing budget. What is surprising is that CMOs do not seem to be fully engaged. The proof? Only 21% of CMOs believe their company will be known as a digital business in five years. To be part of the enterprise digital transformation that every business needs to undertake for survival, CMOs need to extend their vision of marketing and its scope. Meanwhile, emerging-market CMOs tell an entirely different story. Some 69% believe it is important to transform into a digital business, compared to 49% of mature- market CMOs. The gulf further widens when asked the importance of transforming third parties (vendors, partners or independent distributors) to a digital model (69% emerging vs. 41% mature). Emerging markets jump ahead Only 18% of CMOs in established markets believe their company will become known as a digital business, but one-third (32%) of senior marketing leaders in emerging markets think that way. Marketers in emerging countries also are twice as confident in their ability to transform into a digital business (70% vs. 38% in mature economies). While they’re willing to try a variety of methods to achieve their strategic marketing objectives, emerging-market CMOs are much more likely to initiate or complete a companywide transformation to become more digitally focused (71% vs. 42% for mature markets).
  • 6. Confidence in digital channels on the rise While most marketers have not yet committed to thinking of their companies as digital businesses, they are definitely on board with digital channels, investing more, focusing more and achieving more results. Making more and better use of digital channels is one of the key areas to show a significant jump in marketers’ confidence over the past year, with a 10% increase. Year-on- year improvements in channel effectiveness show that digital channels lead the way, with online display advertising, search engine optimization, mobile and social media all ranking highly. 3534 69 31 6837 2237 59 1837 55 Education channels 2130 51 Video 2431 55 SMS/Text messaging 2027 47 Telemarketing 1929 48 2335 58 2835 63 2438 62 2534 59 2336 59 2735 62 2335 58 Existing customer recommendations (Word of mouth) Direct mail In-person contact with the front-line employees Corporate website Sponsorships/ Partnerships 36 6832 2639 65 2031 51 1533 48 Email 2014 2434 58 1331 442012 Events Print advertising 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2014 2012 Online display advertising 1930 49 2336 59 2014 2012 Search engine 2437 1933 61 52 2732 59 2229 51 2014 2012 TV advertising 2533 58 1832 50 2014 2012 Mobile 2234 56 1830 48 2014 2012 Social media 2635 61 2232 54 2014 2012 Media coverage 2337 60 2132 53 2014 2012 Branded content 2014 2012 Radio advertising 1830 48 1128 39 Increase in channel effectiveness since 2012 (%) Fairly effective Very effective 49 84% 5/10 7/10 71% 57% 80 49% 78% 2014 –2019 86% 10% OT

Telemarketing slid precipitously as an effective channel from 2012 to 2014. Effectiveness dropped from 58% to 48%; perhaps as a result, its importance dropped from 74% to 51%. The rise of an old standby While telemarketing fell, low-cost email rose as an effective channel. As email’s importance improved from 58% to 66%, its effectiveness increased commensurately, from 44% to 58%. Meanwhile, a generational divide is opening up with respect to mobile. Marketing executives who grew up with digital devices—those under 35—give significantly more weight to mobile (38%) than their more seasoned colleagues (18%). Mobility is a game changer for younger marketing executives. Seven out of 10 marketers aged 50 and younger believe that mobile is an important channel for reaching customers and prospects, compared with fewer than five out of 10 aged 51 and older. This is the difference between digital natives— those who were raised with digital channels— and those who have had to adapt to digital. For younger marketers, mobile is not a channel but a lifestyle. Budgets for digital marketing also continue to rise. Today, 39% of businesses surveyed spend more than $100 million on digital marketing. Slightly more (41%) expect that budget to rise by more than 5% in their next fiscal year. Only 8% see any kind of cutback in digital marketing spending next year. 5/10 7/10 71% 57% 78% 2014 –2019 86% 7/10 marketers under 50 believe that mobile is an important channel for reaching customers and prospects, compared to 5/10 over 51

High-growth companies in Accenture’s research say that analytics and digital channels became significantly more important between 2012 and 2014—analytics by 15 points (from 71% to 86%) and digital channels also by 15 points (from 69% to 84%). At the same time, it became easier to succeed in both of these areas for high-growth companies, which reaped the rewards of more intense investment and resourcing. CMOs in low-growth companies should take note of the areas their better-performing colleagues rate as important to their success. Gaps as much as 20 points or more are reported in the very areas that help marketing perform better—analytics, digital channels and technology, for example. As high-growth companies demonstrate, digital’s potential stretches way beyond a new distribution channel. Digital represents a wave of transformational opportunities—and threats—that comprise the ecosystem in which we live, work and play. In this digital world, technology is changing the game and consumers are making—and breaking—the rules. That makes every business a digital business, whether it sells widgets or WiFi. Every business requires a digital orientation, meaning a digital focus in all business processes and functions. High-growth vs low-growth research findings

  • 10. Customer experience lags behind The point of efficient digital channels, of course, is to ensure that they are effective as well, and the biggest proof of effectiveness lies in the customer’s interactions with the brand. Some 77% of marketers say it is essential or very important to deliver an effective customer experience for their company, but only 62% think they’re doing a good job. High-growth companies are more focused on the importance of customer experience (89%), compared to only 60% of low-growth companies. And customer experience is the #1 recipient of investments among high-growth companies (at 69%) out of 26 options, versus 40% for low-growth companies. Clearly, high-growth companies have grasped a key insight: today’s digital customer expects a relevant and delightful customer experience at all times and across all channels. A seamless brand experience is key for today’s tech-savvy, multi-device-owning customer. Interesting then, only one-third of high- growth companies report their online and offline analytic capabilities are completely integrated across all functions—though that is considerably more than the 14% of low-growth companies and 19% of average growers. The reality is that challenges still exist for all companies looking to integrate offline and online channels.

  • 12. 3 Accenture and The Economist Intelligence Unit, The Global Agenda: Competing in a Digital World, CEO Briefing 2014. Who’s driving digital transformation? A digital orientation can enable nothing less than complete transformation of the operating and business model. More than half (52%) of C-suite executives, recently surveyed by Accenture and The Economist Intelligence Unit expect digital to cause significant change or complete transformation in their industries.3 So great is the expected transformation that 42% of executives expect the biggest barrier to implementing digital business initiatives will be managing change. So where is the CMO in this transformation? Barely visible. One-third of C-suite executives (35%) say the CEO is responsible for digital innovation. The chief technology officer and chief information officer follow closely at 23% and 22% respectively. The CMO, however, is at 1%. The question is not whether CMOs can effectively take advantage of digital channels; it’s whether they can be a change agent, helping the organization embrace the broader digital opportunity and protect against the broader digital threats. The CMO is well positioned to assume this role because the opportunities and threats are all about the customer, the brand, the interface with the customer and how the customer is empowered. No one should have the pulse of that better than CMOs. However, they are so focused on leveraging digital channels that they are missing the full potential of the broader digital playing field. This has given rise to a variety of new roles, such as chief digital officers (CDOs), emerging to fill the gap and join the team. The rise of the CDO It’s a title you hear more and more as digital capabilities take hold. Chief digital officers are deeply committed to a digital vision. They act as a catalyst for digital transformation, someone the CMO should work closely with to enable a cross-functional focus on customer experience. CDOs are concerned with every digital touchpoint—where data is going and how it is used. According to the survey findings, CDOs think they do a very good job in areas like efficiently running the same content and campaigns across multiple branded websites (60% vs. 50% for CMOs) and improving the e-commerce platform (60% vs. 45%). CDOs also are staunch believers in the marketing function. They are very likely to say that CMOs will be the most important relationship for the CEO over the next five years, surpassing other C-suite executives. 49% 84% 80% 49% 10% 1% CMO OTHER 35% CEO
  • 13. With the increasing pace of technology and device innovation, it is not surprising that one in four CMOs cite a lack of critical technology or tools as the chief barrier to digital integration. Interestingly, that number remains the same whether a company has high-, low- or average-growth, and it represents more than a 10% gain over last year. CMOs know a plethora of digital technologies to leverage; their challenge, however, is to rally around the right ones for their business. The biggest barriers to digital integration Barriers to performance improvement 2014 - Digital Orientation; for companies with increased sales, little or no sales growth and decreased sales Our organization lacks critical technology or tools 252014 34 1313Our people lack the required skills 2014 22 We are not sufficiently integrated with other business functions 19 152014 19 9 We do not have sufficient senior leadership commitment 13 82014 20 We have inefficient business practices 212014 18 18 18We lack the funding 2014 High performers Stayed the same Low performers The volume and variety of today’s technology can easily overwhelm. It comes in smaller, more flexible solutions than the big CRM systems of old, putting a premium on knowing a wide variety of providers’ products and understanding their capabilities. What’s more, new technologies need to be piloted and adapted from experience. They must be agile and modular, allowing a test, learn and “fail fast” approach. This can be a tall order for marketers accustomed to working with legacy systems on internal platforms rather than flexible e-services in the cloud. In collaborating with the CIO, CMOs can stay focused on the customer experience and cherry-pick technologies that help delight their customers. 17 25
  • 14. Omni-channel customer experience took a hit last year. Performance fell across four key metrics: ability to build long-lasting customer relations, design and deliver branded customer experiences, use multiple channels strategically and leverage digital channels. Whether high-growth or low- growth company, B2B, B2C or B2B2C, marketers also report that the importance of offering an omni-channel experience declined as well. One set of numbers tells the story in sharp relief. CMOs report that their ability to use multiple channels strategically and in an integrated and consistent way fell seven points in 2014 from 2012 (from 53% to 46%), but the importance of mastering the multi-channel customer experience fell even more—by 14 points (from 71% to 57%). This trend doesn’t bode well for any industry but especially not for retail, where the omni-channel customer experience is fast becoming the norm. It is now a brand differentiator, according to a recent study Forrester conducted for Accenture and hybris, an SAP company.4 Omni-channel experience suffers 4 Forrester Consulting, Customer Desires Vs. Retailer Capabilities: Minding the Omni-Channel Commerce Gap, March 17, 2014.
  • 15. While senior marketers have succeeded in hiring more talent with digital, analytical and technical skills, the impact has yet to show up in improved performance. In fact, satisfaction with key marketing capabilities has declined in precisely those areas where internal resourcing has increased. Capabilities in customer and digital analytics, for example, show a 10-point decline in satisfaction from last year to this year. Customer experience and content management capabilities also show declines in satisfaction year over year. In all these cases, more internal resources are being used. Ironically, marketers say their external partners are doing a better job. Agencies are bringing more creative ideas and understanding CMOs’ business better (both 34%). Agencies also are assuming more responsibility for digital marketing programs and being more of a strategic driver and partner in the planning process (both 31%). So CMOs are not moving more capabilities internally because external partners are doing a poor job. Rather, they want to upskill their own people and move more core marketing functions inside. The tradeoff, however—at least for the time being—is lower satisfaction levels. The talent conundrum Marketers’ satisfaction with performance of analytics capabilities fell 10 points to 49% last year 84% 5/10 7/10 71% 57% 49% 86%
  • 16. Time to get in the game There’s a larger game being played on the digital field today. Just at the moment when CMOs are optimizing digital marketing channels, the digital opportunity itself is expanding. It’s significantly more profound and potentially more disruptive. To achieve substantial change, here are five ways CMOs can get in the game and be a vital partner in the digital transformation of their organization: Set your sights on an enterprise-wide digital ecosystem and the role of marketing within it. Aim to create multi-channel, personalized experiences for each customer across the brand. Don’t wait for all the technology to be ready. Select a few channels now, offer more than one experience and begin to test and learn. Then review the data and shift your tactics and technology if necessary. The key is to start now, collaborate across the business and keep at it. While CMOs own the brand promise, fewer than half (49%) say they own the customer experience. Among high-growth companies, however, that number jumps 10 points, to 59%. Among low-growth companies, it falls 12 points, to 37%. Clearly sales growth is affected when customer experience is emphasized. All the more reason, then, for CMOs to own it. 49% 84% 7/10 1% 57% 80% 49% 78% 014 –2019 86% 10% 1% CMO OTHER 35% CEO Some ways to do so: • Reverse engineer marketing initiatives around desired outcomes—which aren’t always sales transactions. • Empathize with your customers. Evolve marketing initiatives to engage, share and help your customers, rather than target, capture and convert them. • Engage customers in an ongoing dialogue instead of individual transactions. Treat your customer as a continuous relationship that covers the whole spectrum of sales, service, retention and loyalty. Transform the marketing role as a digital perspective transforms the enterprise. Embrace the full omni-channel customer experience.
  • 17. Today’s technology—like today’s customers—is non-stop. “Test, learn and earn” is the new maxim. Move incrementally and add e-services managed through the cloud. As the focus on systems gives way to a focus on the customer, you can relax your constraints, begin to scale and score more goals. Capturing channel analytics and presenting them in dashboards is no longer enough. Apply your hard-earned insights to multi-channel experiences and ongoing experience management in flexible and powerful ways. As you hire talent with skills in analytics, mobile and digital, integrate them in a way that produces different outcomes. Talent needs to be empowered to work together across the organization in new operating models that recognize the primacy of digital marketing and the importance of customer experience. What good is it, for example, to plug analytics talent into a traditional marketing operating model when you really want an integrated, end-to-end customer experience driven by analytics? What good are new outcomes in old delivery models? Integrate channels with real- time analytics and then act on the insights. Invest in agile technologies and cloud-based services. Re-orient the marketing operating model and integrate new talent to harness digital innovation.
  • 18. Making a complete digital transformation means aligning and executing these three elements together, even if maturity among them varies. High-growth companies already have learned this lesson. They are rapidly creating a digital ecosystem that marries analytic insights and actions across customers’ preferred channels. They are attracting talent who create experiences that allow their companies to leapfrog the competition. Customers are demanding a relevant and delightful experience at all times and across all channels. Digital, analytics and mobile are disrupting both the marketplace and the role of the CMO. As the customer’s chief advocates within the enterprise, CMOs can be the change agents who break the silos and collaborate across the organization to put their companies in the vanguard of digital leadership and customer experience. Within disruption lies opportunity—for the enterprise and its customers and for CMOs with a digital mindset, ready to achieve new heights of relevance and high performance. Business success today requires a customer-focused digital orientation. It starts with prioritizing a superior and relevant customer experience and aligning the organization, processes and technology to power it. It continues with a relentless focus on delighting your customers, reorienting your business and flexing your platform.
