As a marketer, I observe this every time a recession hits. Constant fear of layoffs, major budget cuts for the marketing programs we have been working on and uncertainty. I am sure other marketers can relate to this as well.

Large companies that often lose up to 20% of their marketing spend realize this situation and are now looking to automate key marketing processes and optimize their marketing investments.

The reason that marketing budgets get cut is that there is limited to no integration between what marketing does and what sales needs. This is the reason why up to 90% of marketing created materials are NOT used by sales.
There is a way to integrate marketing and sales and to actually impact the results that sales can deliver. Marketing can become more relevant to sales: create tools that support the real buying process of today's economy, deliver a differentiated point of view and enable the field reps to bring a unique perspective to customers business problems.
