A common practice when working in a digital agency is defining a marketing strategy based on specific goals, targets, budget and timeframe. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to make a chart which would easily demonstrate the process and metrics you can use for measuring performance and what channel works best for specific goals. This is the first in a series of plans, but in short it is an overview of the strategy process.

We’re all very familiar with the idea that modern B2B buyers are increasingly well-informed and far less dependent on individual sales interactions to get hold of the information they need to make buying decisions. But according to a recent survey revealed by Neil Rackham of SPIN Selling fame, B2B buyers are also demanding more expertise and support from sales people than ever before. How can these two apparent contradictions be rationalised? It turns out that the answer lies in the increasingly polarised nature of B2B buying behaviour…

CEM or customer experience management is the line of business where we organize and manage the customer service actions and business operations to enhance the customer’s perception of their interaction with the organization. This infographic by CustVox, now owned by SandSIV, reminds us of ”what is the customer experience?” and is a great starting place for organizations wanting to increase their focus on developing customer relationships and is also a great refresher for those with programs already in place to measure their actions and the results of their customer experience efforts.
Denis Failly's insight:
CEM goes beyond CRM that is too much company centric, think before in term of interaction and not transaction

Big data means much more than a change in technology, it represents a structural transformation is how we will manage our enterprises. Terabytes, Petabytes, Exabytes. Who can keep track? These strange terms have just begun to enter the business lexicon, but the hype surrounding them has reached a fever pitch. We have undoubtedly entered the age of big data. Yet it’s hard for many to take it seriously. While the blogosphere buzzes and millennials preach, most serious business people are focused on their jobs. They have partners, customers and employees to keep happy and all the techy mumbo jumbo just doesn’t seem relevant ! Via Fouad Bendris

Remember, what you really need to know about big data is this: It represents a fundamental shift in how we do things. In effect, big data opens the door to a Bayesian approach to strategy where we no longer try to be “right” based on controlled research and small samples, but rather become less wrong over time as real world information floods in ...

I’ve talked before about how big data is driving content marketing. And also earlier this week about how customer insightsare becoming the main competitive differentiation between old-school traditionalists and modern marketers. But somewhere rolling around in my head was a post about how in today’s digital and social world, data and content are the same thing, or they are parts of one another, or somehow closely related.

In most of my sales and marketing work, I try to use only three different measurements to guide it. I have found that though we can create more these pieces to the measurement puzzle can cover a lot of ground without complicating things. The three different pieces are performance measures, impact measures and outcome measures.

Marketing VP’s, Directors, and CMO’s have passionately pursued “marketing ROI” for several years now. Marketing technology innovation, shifts in strategic thinking, and the focus on measuring every activity and campaign are key drivers. CEO’s and CFO’s and the never ending drone from Sales adds emotional fuel to the mix. Pursuing marketing ROI is misguided. Marketing is not an investment. Marketing will never produce ROI

What is the first thing consumers do when they come across an advertisement or if they come to know about a particular product through a friend? Yes, they look for more information online. To get the best information they read about the product on a company’s website, watch videos related to that product, read reviews of others and finally they arrive at a purchase decision. In this whole process, consumers go through content like blogs, articles, reports, etc. on different social media platforms

Three step data progression :
1) Retrospective—where historical data yields truths about the past that allow us to understand patterns and performance—and to make inferences about the future.
2) Predictive—where models simulate scenarios based on historical data to make predictions about the future—with statistical confidence.
3) Real-time—where predictive analytics are extended into the execution space, allowing real-time calculations to trigger events—offers, for example—optimized to a moment in time.
