The future of marketing is in your hands…
“The idea of having a
separate marketing department
is going to vanish.”
–Gerd, Leonhard, HBR, May 24, 2013
“In many cases, senior
business leaders must open
up their agendas and
recognize the importance of
supporting and even
undertaking initiatives
that may traditionally
have been left to
the chief marketing officer…
we’re all marketers now.”
–McKinsey Quarterly, April 2012

Only a handful of senior executives are relying on marketing
data to make decisions
To what extent are your key stakeholders using the data, metrics, and/or analyses developed by marketing?

Why isn’t the executive team using the marketing data?
Three Reasons
1. Marketing activity,
not business outcomes
2. Operational efficiency,
not effectiveness
3. Past performance,
not predictive insight

leaders) care about?

Consequently, marketing dashboards typically report on
marketing activity and associated costs, rather than reporting on
metrics executives use to set direction

The C-suite wants marketing to paint a picture of how marketing
contributes to the business
Share of preference  Share of wallet  Propensity to purchase
Category growth rate  Product/service adoption rate
Innovation revenue rate  Price premium
Pipeline volume, value, and velocity
These are the things that demonstrate marketing’s business acumen and strategic contribution:

The C-suite can’t relate marketing activity-based metrics to
business outcomes
These are the things that marketers count:
Number of new leads
Number of sales accepted leads
Whitepaper downloads
Media mentions
Twitter followers
Click through rates
Site registrations
Demo downloads

The C-suite can’t relate operational metrics that gauge marketing
efficiency to impact and value
These are the things that show what you spend on the activities you count:
Campaign ROI | Cost per lead
Customer Acquisition Cost
Marketing influenced pipeline
Marketing influenced revenue
Leads per rep | Lead conversion rate
Program spend:headcount ratio
Cost per order dollar
Marketing spend:revenue ratio

Marketers need to tap the power of data and analytics to
advance the BUSINESS
What Marketing is currently doing:
 Measure and report marketing’s
performance
 Allocate the total marketing budget
 Justify the marketing budget
 Target specific campaigns and offers
to the segments most likely to respond
What Marketing isn’t doing,
but had better start:
Identify new or emerging customer
segments or markets
Drive innovation by developing new
offerings/solutions
Predict customer buying behavior
Analyze purchase patterns to prioritize
offers made/timing of offers (propensity
to buy models)

A few exceptional marketers have earned that seat at the
proverbial table
Marketing was able to measure and
report the contribution of its programs
to the business
Marketing programs made a
difference but the contribution to the
business goals were not measured
and reported
Marketing appears to have made
some impact on the business, but it is
not clear if the impact was material,
nor is it measured
Marketing programs didn’t make a
difference—there is no clarity as to
how marketing is contributing
to the business
For 2012, using a 100 point scale, please select what grade the CEO (or you, if you are the CEO) would give your
marketing organization for its ability to demonstrate its value and contribution to the business.

Get clarity around the business outcomes:
There are three questions that every marketer needs to ask the
business leaders
1 What specific, measurable business
outcome will this program impact?
2
How do you expect this program/activity
to contribute (what needle needs to
move and how far)?
3
How will we know and measure
that this program achieved
the objective(s)?
