Marketing is undergoing a
profound and lasting shift. Ninety
percent of today’s CEOs and
CMOs believe that the function
will change fundamentally over
the next three years.
Yesterday’s marketing blueprints are no longer
relevant. What worked before will not work again.
More than 75 percent of CMOs now admit that
past formulas are no match against the new
breed of disruptors that seems able
to win, time and time again, by delivering
more relevant customer experiences.
It may sound discouraging, but it’s not.
This is a great time to be a marketeer, teeming
with opportunity for those who get it right.
How can CMOs architect their organizations
into future powerhouses for sustained
relevance and growth?

These marketeers, just 17 percent of the nearly one thousand
CMOs we interviewed in our global survey, told us that they have
been extremely successful at delivering highly relevant customer
experiences. So, what impact is this having? Significantly
greater value to shareholders (see Figure 1 on page 5).

It’s this: they make the customer central
to their thinking and vision, not just in
the services they provide, but in how
they pivot and adapt as a company. They
create what we call a Living Business:
one that continuously adapts at speed
and scale to achieve total customer
relevance and sustained growth1
.
In the past, we have observed a widespread sense of
uncertainty and inertia when it comes to the daunting task
of becoming hyper-relevant. Our research lifts the lid on
how these pioneering 17 percent of CMOs are bucking this
trend. They’re taking on the role of organizational architect,
ensuring their brand delivers on evolving customer
expectations. They’re challenging business as usual and
inspiring lasting change through new actions and new
behaviors, building a customer-obsessed organization
that’s fit for the new, with new technologies, new customer
expectations, and a new and accelerating pace of change.

So,what’sthe

Hint:It’snotaboutthebudget.
In fact, our research shows that they’re not spending
significantly more than their peers on customer
experience or on innovation as a share of their total
marketing budget. In other words, they’re not simply
throwing more money at the problem. What they are
doing is actually far more holistic and transformational.

The pioneers understand that
their organizations must remain in
a permanent state of change if they’re
to successfully deliver on the ever-
evolving needs of customers. They
are constantly seeking alternative
sources of growth, be it through
reinvention of the customer
experience, breakthrough innovation
or entirely new revenue streams.
For example, they’re much more
likely than peers to be tapping
into data monetization initiatives
or new ventures.

WhilemanyCMOsunderstandthatthey’llneedtofocus

isthecultureoftheirorganizations.
Many organizations are unable to
pivot with agility because change so
often involves risk; they’re reluctant
to ask what new capabilities and talent
requirements are being demanded.
Meanwhile, the pioneering CMOs
are pulling away from the pack.
They’re focused on getting the
right capabilities in place to deliver
exceptional customer experiences
and deploying and developing the
best talent in support of that goal.
All CMOs, in fact, can do this­—it’s
simply a matter of taking the plunge.
From high-level strategy down to
the nuts-and-bolts of their operations,
the pioneering CMOs are breaking
decisively away from conventional
wisdom. For our pioneers, this starts by
turning the mirror on themselves and
their own marketing organization. They’re
looking inwards in recognition that to
enable their organization to flow around
the customer, they must challenge
business as usual and inspire change.
When it comes to accounting for
changing customer attitudes, for example,
their attitudes are very different from their
peers. They’re far more likely to actively
study a number of factors and pivot their
marketing agendas in response
to shifting outlooks on multichannel
experience, trust, transparency and
personalization (see Figure 4 on page 14).

Consider that, of the top 40 brands at Unilever, nearly half focus
on sustainability. It turns out that those brands grow 50 percent
faster than the company’s other brands and deliver more than
60 percent of the company’s growth3
.
How do pioneering CMOs keep pace with changing customer
expectations? While many marketing organizations default
back to the assumptions that brought them success in the past,
it’s little surprise that these leading marketeers are at the forefront
when it comes to using data to drive new insights and new action,
to be able to flex and adapt and pick up speed when necessary.
They’re instilling a culture that’s customer-obsessed and data-
focused. In fact, they’re 26 percent more likely to say that marketing
should own the customer record throughout the customer journey—
from first contact, all the way through to sales and service—and that
marketing should be able to leverage and benefit from the insights
derived from that data.

We asked CMOs what kinds of roles they’d need on
their teams in the future to become Living Businesses.
The responses from the pioneers show that, far more than
their peers, they’re thinking about entirely new categories of
marketeers: Immersive experience designers. Storytellers.
Growth hackers who unlock revenue through relentless
experimentation. Futurologists. Trust leaders. The list goes
on (see Figure 5 on page 19). By looking seriously at roles
that straddle traditional boundaries, and which in many
cases don’t even exist today, these future-oriented
CMOs are building a future-ready culture.

Compared to their peers, the pioneers value their
connections to other C-suite executives more highly—
and they’re less likely to be satisfied with the state of
collaboration in the status quo (see Figures 6a and 6b
on pages 23 and 24). They are building alliances with HR,
sales, finance, the CIO function, and others to develop and
implement the systems, processes and mindsets necessary
to deliver the most relevant customer experiences. These
CMOs are dedicated networkers focused on influencing
the broader organization more than ever before.

By contrast, our research finds that the pioneering CMOs
are more likely than their peers to be fundamentally
transforming their marketing operating models. They
recognize that a crucial means to unlocking growth
is by breaking barriers: whether that’s silos within their
marketing organizations, dissonance between their
marketing organizations and the rest of the company,
or unrealized opportunities among their agencies and
ecosystem partners.

We spoke to the CMO of a global e-commerce
business who underscored the importance of
an intuitive C-suite partnership.
They explained why data-oriented C-level
collaboration has become so much more
important over the past few years—and how
it’s led to valuable organizational changes.
First, he notes, with marketing becoming
ever more measurable and accountable,
the relationship with the CFO has become
all the more critical—and more beneficial.
“I now have finance people embedded in
the marketing team with channel leaders—
they look at every dollar spent and help to
optimize the mix.” Similarly, as agility on the
technology front has become more integral
to his marketing objectives, his relationship
with the CIO is now more important than
ever. “The amount of time I spend wiring
up my different technologies and making
sure that the data all lands in one place
and can be used by all channels—that’s
huge. That’s complex. So now we have a
marketing technology team which sits in the
CIO organization but reports into the CMO
and sits on our leadership team.” And, finally,
he notes that his exchanges with the chief
product officer have taken on a new and
greater velocity—relaying feedback about
member services, product reviews, and
social media posts, for example, which are
put to use in product and service innovation.

But don’t be discouraged. This, in fact,
represents a tremendous opportunity for
CMOs right now; the potential to reinvent
their roles and secure future growth for their
companies in this challenging environment.
For all CMOs, there is no better way to
make your mark than to follow the lead
of the pioneering 17 percent of marketeers
identified in this study.
They see these companies’ customers
as fair game and are luring them away
through increasingly relevant experiences,
and their ability to adapt to changing
needs. Incumbent CEOs, for their part,
aren’t particularly optimistic. Two in three
don’t believe that their current marketing
leads have the leadership skills or business
acumen required for the role. And, CEOs
are equally unconvinced that the next
generation of marketeers will be any more
capable when they eventually take the reins.

Way Beyond Marketing - The Rise of the Hyper-Relevant CMO

  • 3. Marketing is undergoing a profound and lasting shift. Ninety percent of today’s CEOs and CMOs believe that the function will change fundamentally over the next three years. Yesterday’s marketing blueprints are no longer relevant. What worked before will not work again. More than 75 percent of CMOs now admit that past formulas are no match against the new breed of disruptors that seems able to win, time and time again, by delivering more relevant customer experiences. It may sound discouraging, but it’s not. This is a great time to be a marketeer, teeming with opportunity for those who get it right. How can CMOs architect their organizations into future powerhouses for sustained relevance and growth? Introduction. #CMOInsights CMO WAY BEYOND MARKETING3

These marketeers, just 17 percent of the nearly one thousand CMOs we interviewed in our global survey, told us that they have been extremely successful at delivering highly relevant customer experiences.

  • 6. It’s this: they make the customer central to their thinking and vision, not just in the services they provide, but in how they pivot and adapt as a company. They create what we call a Living Business: one that continuously adapts at speed and scale to achieve total customer relevance and sustained growth1 . In the past, we have observed a widespread sense of uncertainty and inertia when it comes to the daunting task of becoming hyper-relevant. Our research lifts the lid on how these pioneering 17 percent of CMOs are bucking this trend. They’re taking on the role of organizational architect, ensuring their brand delivers on evolving customer expectations. They’re challenging business as usual and inspiring lasting change through new actions and new behaviors, building a customer-obsessed organization that’s fit for the new, with new technologies, new customer expectations, and a new and accelerating pace of change. What’sthesecret totheirsuccess? 1. Living Business Research, Accenture 2017-18. #CMOInsights CMO WAY BEYOND MARKETING6
  • 7. So,what’sthe bigdifference? Hint:It’snotaboutthebudget. In fact, our research shows that they’re not spending significantly more than their peers on customer experience or on innovation as a share of their total marketing budget. In other words, they’re not simply throwing more money at the problem. What they are doing is actually far more holistic and transformational.

Global CEO and CMO Insights Research, Accenture 2016. The pioneers understand that their organizations must remain in a permanent state of change if they’re to successfully deliver on the ever- evolving needs of customers. They are constantly seeking alternative sources of growth, be it through reinvention of the customer experience, breakthrough innovation or entirely new revenue streams. For example, they’re much more likely than peers to be tapping into data monetization initiatives or new ventures. Digital Advertising 36% 31% Data Monetization 42% 29% Digital E-commerce 40% 33% New Partnerships/Ventures 44% 28% Figure 3 How important are the following sources of revenue growth for you as a marketing leader to tap into today?

  • 11. Pioneering CMOs are not just exploring these new directions, they’re actively rethinking their own roles. They see themselves not just as solid operators of their organization today, but as visionaries charting the business of tomorrow. Pioneers are: 27% morelikelythantheir peerstosaythattheir primaryexpertiseisin beinganinnovator, lookingtouseemerging technologiestogrow thebusiness. 28% morelikelythantheir peerstobespending morethanthree-quarters oftheirtimeonmanaging disruptivegrowth.

Both ventures empower customers to personalize their drinks to their own tastes, whether in or out of home. Both are examples of new revenue streams that accrue from asking how the customer experience can be continually improved. They question what it means to be hyper-relevant as a product or service in customers’ lives. CMO WAY BEYOND MARKETING11 #CMOInsights
  • 13. WhilemanyCMOsunderstandthatthey’llneedtofocus ondisruptivegrowth,whatoftenholdsmanyofthemback isthecultureoftheirorganizations. Many organizations are unable to pivot with agility because change so often involves risk; they’re reluctant to ask what new capabilities and talent requirements are being demanded. Meanwhile, the pioneering CMOs are pulling away from the pack. They’re focused on getting the right capabilities in place to deliver exceptional customer experiences and deploying and developing the best talent in support of that goal. All CMOs, in fact, can do this­—it’s simply a matter of taking the plunge. From high-level strategy down to the nuts-and-bolts of their operations, the pioneering CMOs are breaking decisively away from conventional wisdom. For our pioneers, this starts by turning the mirror on themselves and their own marketing organization. They’re looking inwards in recognition that to enable their organization to flow around the customer, they must challenge business as usual and inspire change. When it comes to accounting for changing customer attitudes, for example, their attitudes are very different from their peers. They’re far more likely to actively study a number of factors and pivot their marketing agendas in response to shifting outlooks on multichannel experience, trust, transparency and personalization (see Figure 4 on page 14). #CMOInsights CMO WAY BEYOND MARKETING13

They need to inspire, set new standards, have a clear purpose and emphasize certain values. 45% 31% Pioneer CMOs All Others CMO WAY BEYOND MARKETING14 #CMOInsights

Consider that, of the top 40 brands at Unilever, nearly half focus on sustainability. It turns out that those brands grow 50 percent faster than the company’s other brands and deliver more than 60 percent of the company’s growth3 . How do pioneering CMOs keep pace with changing customer expectations? While many marketing organizations default back to the assumptions that brought them success in the past, it’s little surprise that these leading marketeers are at the forefront when it comes to using data to drive new insights and new action, to be able to flex and adapt and pick up speed when necessary. They’re instilling a culture that’s customer-obsessed and data- focused. In fact, they’re 26 percent more likely to say that marketing should own the customer record throughout the customer journey— from first contact, all the way through to sales and service—and that marketing should be able to leverage and benefit from the insights derived from that data. 3.

  • 18. We asked CMOs what kinds of roles they’d need on their teams in the future to become Living Businesses. The responses from the pioneers show that, far more than their peers, they’re thinking about entirely new categories of marketeers: Immersive experience designers. Storytellers. Growth hackers who unlock revenue through relentless experimentation. Futurologists. Trust leaders. The list goes on (see Figure 5 on page 19). By looking seriously at roles that straddle traditional boundaries, and which in many cases don’t even exist today, these future-oriented CMOs are building a future-ready culture.

  • 19. Pioneering CMOs are much more likely to see the value of new marketing roles. Please think about some of the new kinds of roles and skills that an intelligent marketing organization might need to be successful in three years’ time.

Compared to their peers, the pioneers value their connections to other C-suite executives more highly— and they’re less likely to be satisfied with the state of collaboration in the status quo (see Figures 6a and 6b on pages 23 and 24). They are building alliances with HR, sales, finance, the CIO function, and others to develop and implement the systems, processes and mindsets necessary to deliver the most relevant customer experiences. These CMOs are dedicated networkers focused on influencing the broader organization more than ever before.

By contrast, our research finds that the pioneering CMOs are more likely than their peers to be fundamentally transforming their marketing operating models. They recognize that a crucial means to unlocking growth is by breaking barriers: whether that’s silos within their marketing organizations, dissonance between their marketing organizations and the rest of the company, or unrealized opportunities among their agencies and ecosystem partners. 4.

  • 25. We spoke to the CMO of a global e-commerce business who underscored the importance of an intuitive C-suite partnership. They explained why data-oriented C-level collaboration has become so much more important over the past few years—and how it’s led to valuable organizational changes. First, he notes, with marketing becoming ever more measurable and accountable, the relationship with the CFO has become all the more critical—and more beneficial. “I now have finance people embedded in the marketing team with channel leaders— they look at every dollar spent and help to optimize the mix.” Similarly, as agility on the technology front has become more integral to his marketing objectives, his relationship with the CIO is now more important than ever. “The amount of time I spend wiring up my different technologies and making sure that the data all lands in one place and can be used by all channels—that’s huge. That’s complex. So now we have a marketing technology team which sits in the CIO organization but reports into the CMO and sits on our leadership team.” And, finally, he notes that his exchanges with the chief product officer have taken on a new and greater velocity—relaying feedback about member services, product reviews, and social media posts, for example, which are put to use in product and service innovation.

This, in fact, represents a tremendous opportunity for CMOs right now; the potential to reinvent their roles and secure future growth for their companies in this challenging environment. For all CMOs, there is no better way to make your mark than to follow the lead of the pioneering 17 percent of marketeers identified in this study. They see these companies’ customers as fair game and are luring them away through increasingly relevant experiences, and their ability to adapt to changing needs. Incumbent CEOs, for their part, aren’t particularly optimistic. Two in three don’t believe that their current marketing leads have the leadership skills or business acumen required for the role. And, CEOs are equally unconvinced that the next generation of marketeers will be any more capable when they eventually take the reins. CMO WAY BEYOND MARKETING27 #CMOInsights
