Is your marketing reporting actually telling you anything?
Across all sectors, marketing professionals find it challenging to demonstrate return on investment and justify their budget and choices of activity. Marketers are using up to 20 tools to gather data and try to make sense of their results and attribute them to specific activity.
;)
What’s wrong with the way things are done now?
Marketing plans and schedules are currently created in spreadsheets, documents, calendars or even sometimes on dozens of tiny Post-It notes stuck to a glass wall. Plans are shared with the team, the boss and external partners in a variety of ways, making version control a nightmare.
Marketers then use at least one tool (or up to 20!) or platform to evaluate the results of these marketing plans.
Having multiple accounts, all your data in different formats and no tangible way to measure offline activity means that you are never really seeing the full picture. Wouldn’t it be better to have all this data and your marketing plan in one shareable place?
