MARKETING INTELLIGENCE REPORT, 3RD

Executive
Summary
As customer behavior becomes
digital-first,*
marketers have embraced
equally critical mandates: customer
satisfaction and growth.
Data is the foundation of both of
these objectives. Marketers use data
to personalize customer experiences
and build trusted relationships, and to
optimize the return on investment (ROI)
of campaigns and programs.
But gathering that data, preparing it,
analyzing it, and ultimately turning it into
insights is not without its challenges. As
the quantity and variety of data continue
to increase, and rules and norms around
privacy take hold, effective use of data is
becoming central to marketing success.
Marketers Welcome a Dual Mandate in the Digital-First Era
Marketing’s role has evolved to satisfying two mandates: driving
growth by optimizing ROI, and improving the customer experience.
Marketers define customer satisfaction and return on marketing
investment as the two most important success metrics.
01
Data Privacy Changes Inspire Strategic Shifts
New digital privacy policies are here to stay, and marketers
are pivoting. Ninety percent of marketers agree that recent
data privacy changes have fundamentally changed how they
measure marketing performance.
02
Success Means Data, and Data Means Success
A strong data foundation is critical to success — but not without
its challenges. Nearly four in five marketers say data quality
is key to driving marketing-led growth and improved
customer experiences.
03
Data-Driven Marketing Requires Speed to Insight
Marketers' top data analysis challenge is applying learnings to
marketing strategies, and speed to insight plays a large role.
Twenty-seven percent of marketers monitor cross-channel
performance monthly or less.
05
Cross-Channel Views Are a Dream Under Construction
Nearly all marketers (98%) say it’s important to have a complete
view of cross-channel marketing. Yet more than seven in 10
evaluate performance of channels separately, rather than in
one centralized place.

Customer Satisfaction and Growth Define Marketing Success
At the heart of today’s marketing are two
objectives: foster customer relationships
and grow revenue.
Eighty percent of marketers surveyed
say their organization leads customer
experience initiatives across the business.*
This is mirrored by how marketers
define success: Nearly half say customer
satisfaction is the most important metric,
followed by return on marketing investment.
However, despite the importance of
these metrics, marketers face difficulty
evaluating them. In fact, fewer than two
in five marketers say they're completely
successful at this task.

Without a solid analytics strategy, marketers
can't be certain they'll gather the data they
need. Analytics strategies are at the heart
of modern marketing, and marketers are
building them on a foundation of customer
and growth objectives.
Case in point: proving marketing's impact on
both growth and the customer experience
as the most important aspects of marketing
analytic strategies.

02 Data Privacy Changes
Inspire Strategic Shifts
Over the past few years, data privacy
regulations (whether regional, such as
GDPR or CCPA, or from key technology
providers, such as Apple Mail Privacy
Protection and Google’s third-party cookie
deprecation) have pushed businesses to a
consumer-first, consent-based approach
to data collection.
In response, marketers are focused
on earning and maintaining trust with
customer data. Additionally, certain
performance measurements — such as
email opens — are now less relevant as
technology providers promise expanded
privacy protections for their users.
Accordingly, marketers are facing headwinds
in this new dynamic, most notably in
measuring ROI and channel performance
and understanding audiences.

As Privacy Regulations Shift, Data Strategies Get a Shake-up

02 Data Privacy Changes
Inspire Strategic Shifts
Technology is core to marketers'
adaptation to shifting privacy standards
and expectations.
More often than not, marketers are
increasing or maintaining investments
in platforms that help them measure
performance or understand customers
(for example, marketing analytics and
customer data platforms, respectively).
Across the board, only a small minority
of marketers are decreasing their
technology investments.

From a tactical perspective, about half of
marketers have increased their investment
in paid social, mobile marketing, and web
experiences. Conversely, legacy channels
such as traditional TV/radio advertising were
most likely to see divestment.
This reflects a continued trend of
expansion into digital mediums as
customers increasingly shop and do
business online. Fifty-eight percent of
consumers expect to do more online
shopping after the pandemic than before,
and 80% of business buyers expect to
conduct more business online.*

Whether for growth or for the customer
experience, marketers need reliable
data to demonstrate the value of their
programs and to drive outcomes.
Nearly four in five marketers globally say
data quality is key to driving marketing-led
growth and the customer experience.
According to marketers, the second most
important factor for growth and the
customer experience is that marketing
and sales teams share business objectives.
Alignment on goals may encourage these
teams to cooperate with each other and
serve customers in a more unified way.

Harnessing data to prove marketing success is,
for many practitioners, easier said than done.
Marketers say employee resources and
manual data integration are top challenges
that hinder their ability to efficiently
evaluate performance.
Attracting the right people is particularly key
in the midst of the “Great Resignation” and
the rise of the hybrid workplace — and for
many marketers, finding and retaining talent
with analytics proficiency has proven difficult.
Further, data integration processes such as
data retrieval, preparation, and modeling
often require more technical skill sets to
build and can take a substantial amount of
time and resources to manage.

A lot goes into developing an effective
marketing analytics strategy, and
marketers indicate there may be room for
improvement in how their organizations go
about it. Only about one in five marketers
say their company “exceeds expectations”
on any analytics component. In particular,
AI-driven insights, data taxonomy, and
media planning and pacing have the most
opportunity for development.
Previous research underscores the
importance of addressing AI, with 64%
of high-performing marketers having a
defined AI strategy, compared to only
45% of underperformers.*
Prioritizing data quality can also be
a competitive differentiator. High
performers are two times more likely
than underperformers to report
exceeding expectations in connecting
data across channels.

quality data and analytics, many lag
behind in their investment in the people,
tools, and processes that make it possible.

– that are key to measuring and optimizing

Marketers expect the number of data
sources they use to grow year over year,**
increasing the potential for siloed data.
Unsurprisingly, marketers feel having a
centralized view of all this data is critical.
Yet 71% of marketers evaluate the

Data integration and management remain
roadblocks in the quest for a cohesive
view of cross-channel performance.
Marketing analytics can span organizational
departments and disciplines, meaning that
linking disparate data sources is not easy.
Marketers report obstacles both in
connecting data from aligned business units
(for example, product and sales teams)
and preparing data across sources
(for example, cleansing, modeling,
taxonomy) when integrating their data.

Before marketers can use accurate cross-
channel data in reporting and analytics, they
must ingest it, harmonize it in a data model,
classify it according to business taxonomy,
and verify its quality.
Adoption of these practices is mixed.
About half of marketers say they perform
data preparation tasks such as quality
assurance checks and data model mapping.
Many marketers have begun to simplify
and speed up the data integration and
preparation process with automation.
The majority of marketers describe the
way their team integrates their cross-
channel data as at least partly automatic.
Yet nearly one in five marketers still relies
on manual methods.
This manual process translates to
significant amounts of time. When
manually integrating data, 29% of
marketers spend at least one week
per month collecting, cleansing, and
modeling data for reporting and analysis.

As marketers pursue more data-driven
cultures, a number of challenges surface.
Many of these can be overcome by
centralizing data across the organization.
Marketers must not only integrate data
across business units and sources, but
also share this data to connect marketing
to business outcomes, and foster
teamwide collaboration.
These challenges are interconnected,
with both reliant on a cohesive data
foundation – whether across marketing
channels or between marketing and

LOOK AHEAD:
Tactics and Strategies
Over the next year, there are a number of
areas that marketers hope to improve.
Boosting performance is key as marketers
rebound from uncertain times and budgets
remain under scrutiny. Marketing spend
optimization, or the process of forecasting
and tracking spend across campaigns and
channels, is the top tactic marketers are
focused on to ensure results.
Meanwhile, marketers want to improve the
relevancy of their marketing to enhance
customer experiences: whether through
loyalty programs or personalized content
and offers. Loyalty programs and customer
consent are also critical ways marketers
can continue to provide individualized
experiences without the need for
third-party cookies.

  • 5. * Salesforce State of the Connected Customer, October 2020. SALESFORCE RESE ARCH 5 MARKETING INTELLIGENCE REPORT, 3RD EDITION Executive Summary As customer behavior becomes digital-first,* marketers have embraced equally critical mandates: customer satisfaction and growth. Data is the foundation of both of these objectives. Marketers use data to personalize customer experiences and build trusted relationships, and to optimize the return on investment (ROI) of campaigns and programs. But gathering that data, preparing it, analyzing it, and ultimately turning it into insights is not without its challenges. As the quantity and variety of data continue to increase, and rules and norms around privacy take hold, effective use of data is becoming central to marketing success. Marketers Welcome a Dual Mandate in the Digital-First Era Marketing’s role has evolved to satisfying two mandates: driving growth by optimizing ROI, and improving the customer experience. Marketers define customer satisfaction and return on marketing investment as the two most important success metrics. 01 Data Privacy Changes Inspire Strategic Shifts New digital privacy policies are here to stay, and marketers are pivoting. Ninety percent of marketers agree that recent data privacy changes have fundamentally changed how they measure marketing performance. 02 Success Means Data, and Data Means Success A strong data foundation is critical to success — but not without its challenges. Nearly four in five marketers say data quality is key to driving marketing-led growth and improved customer experiences. 03 Data-Driven Marketing Requires Speed to Insight Marketers' top data analysis challenge is applying learnings to marketing strategies, and speed to insight plays a large role. Twenty-seven percent of marketers monitor cross-channel performance monthly or less. 05 Cross-Channel Views Are a Dream Under Construction Nearly all marketers (98%) say it’s important to have a complete view of cross-channel marketing. Yet more than seven in 10 evaluate performance of channels separately, rather than in one centralized place. 04
  • 6. Channel metrics Marketing- generated pipe Conversions or desired actions PR metrics Customer satisfaction Return on marketing investment Customer acquisition Brand awareness 46% 35% 40% 31% 39% 31% 36% 32% 34% 30% 33% 30% 30% 31% 21% 28% SALESFORCE RESE ARCH 6 MARKETING INTELLIGENCE REPORT, 3RD EDITION 01 Customer Satisfaction and Growth Define Marketing Success At the heart of today’s marketing are two objectives: foster customer relationships and grow revenue. Eighty percent of marketers surveyed say their organization leads customer experience initiatives across the business.* This is mirrored by how marketers define success: Nearly half say customer satisfaction is the most important metric, followed by return on marketing investment.

In response, marketers are focused on earning and maintaining trust with customer data. Additionally, certain performance measurements — such as email opens — are now less relevant as technology providers promise expanded privacy protections for their users. Accordingly, marketers are facing headwinds in this new dynamic, most notably in measuring ROI and channel performance and understanding audiences.

Marketers say employee resources and manual data integration are top challenges that hinder their ability to efficiently evaluate performance. Attracting the right people is particularly key in the midst of the “Great Resignation” and the rise of the hybrid workplace — and for many marketers, finding and retaining talent with analytics proficiency has proven difficult. Further, data integration processes such as data retrieval, preparation, and modeling often require more technical skill sets to build and can take a substantial amount of time and resources to manage.

  • 17. SALESFORCE RESE ARCH 17 MARKETING INTELLIGENCE REPORT, 3RD EDITION 04 Before marketers can use accurate cross- channel data in reporting and analytics, they must ingest it, harmonize it in a data model, classify it according to business taxonomy, and verify its quality. Adoption of these practices is mixed. About half of marketers say they perform data preparation tasks such as quality assurance checks and data model mapping. Many marketers have begun to simplify and speed up the data integration and preparation process with automation. The majority of marketers describe the way their team integrates their cross- channel data as at least partly automatic. Yet nearly one in five marketers still relies on manual methods. This manual process translates to significant amounts of time. When manually integrating data, 29% of marketers spend at least one week per month collecting, cleansing, and modeling data for reporting and analysis.
