IT consultants and the covert war for the CMO’s purse - Enterprise Innovation

IT consultants and the covert war for the CMO’s purse - Enterprise Innovation | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
IT consultants' growing appetite for marketing-based revenues comes as advertising agencies face tighter restrictions on pricing and margins. While they continue to tweak their numbers, IT consultancies are swooping on clients or cross selling their services to the marketing departments.

Another reason for the rise of IT consultancies is their ability to provide a holistic picture. CMOs are no longer running marketing campaigns and improving company brand equity. They need help to develop cross-functional strategies and augment the marketing funnel with strategic IT acquisitions.

Many IT consultancies are already employed to verify the CMO's choice of advertising agencies. Here they are operating at a strategic level, advising CMOs how to evaluate the agencies for executing their marketing visions. It does not take much for the same consultants to also highlight their marketing wing to the CMOs as another option.

Lastly, advertising agencies do not team up with other agencies, not when brand owners want to keep their plans and campaigns a secret. IT consultancies, however, play by a different rule book. By their very nature, many are teams of varied skill set. Where they lack, they are not afraid to work with other agencies. They share methodologies and frameworks to the broader market to become thought leaders and open new opportunity doors.
Marteq's insight:

I'm starting to conclude that MarTech shouldn't be owned by Marketing.

With multi-channel, marketers simply had to ensure that they were engaging customers in whichever key battlegrounds pertained to their particular field.  Omni-channel is all of this and more.

Marketing automation software gives you a platform on which to build, and it gives you a fighting chance at taking on the omni-channel pioneers at their own game.

Understanding your customers and understanding the routes they take as they navigate your services enables you to enhance their experience of your organization. Use the information gathered by your marketing automation platform to segment your customers, creating specific customer groups which can be targeted in different ways.

50% of businesses believe that social offers greatest marketing opportunities over next year - Econsultancy | #TheMarketingAutomationAlert

50% of businesses believe that social offers greatest marketing opportunities over next year - Econsultancy | #TheMarketingAutomationAlert | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Excerpt...


Digital marketing offers greater opportunities for businesses over the next year than more traditional channels, according to a new report.


When asked to identify which three marketing channels offer the greatest opportunities, half of brands (50%) mentioned social media followed by email (43%) and websites (35%).


In fact the top 10 most cited channels are all online, with the most popular offline channel being direct mail at 8%.


The findings come from the new Econsultancy and Responsys Cross-Channel Marketing Report 2013, which contains a comprehensive analysis of the use of online and offline marketing channels, integration of display advertising and use of mobile for marketing.


Marteq's insight:

Only 20% of the respondents are retailers, so don't completely disregard the data, although I think 50% is too high/optimistic, and is setting social up for failure. For the B2B entity, social is a channel and a sales tool.

Michael Chretien's curator insight, September 5, 2013 9:41 AM

Infographic says it all. SM then Email and website marketing rule.  I would put a tad bit of caution as it is a rather small sample (187) of uncertain quality people surveyed.
