If there is one thing that businesses have come to realize over the recent past is that there is a strategic imperative to be prepared to ‘expect the unexpected’. This is especially true when it comes to a Brand’s approach to Marketing effectiveness. Gone are the days of unbridled marketing execution-related spend. Unpredictable shifts in consumer demands, supply chain challenges, and the last-minute ‘business initiative’ launch has led C-suite and Board members to start asking tough questions and hold Finance, Marketing and Operations leaders more accountable than ever before.
For these stakeholders to be successful in the new world, they will need to be much more strategic and in-control of how they: Predict, Invest, Execute, and Measure their Marketing performance.
