Before I get to the aforementioned good news allow me to go back in time, be it ever so slightly. In January of this year I scribed a post entitled 2017: The Year of the Data Driven CMO. Feel free to click to read the entire piece but until you do here's some highlights from that post. I referenced that, despite the fact that is the year 2017, research from Bazaarvoice showed that nearly 70% say surveys are indeed their primary source for customer data. Yes surveys. These...

When it comes to money, those that end up with the largest portfolios tend to be those that effectively manage how they save, spend, and invest. They often take a long-term approach with the understanding that the more attention they give their portfolio, the more ROI they will get from it. And, that’s an intangible item but a very important asset in our lives. Now, imagine applying that philosophy as a CMO to the talent in your organization. As a leader, responsibility...

According to eMarketer "the percentage of people using ad blockers is growing at a significant rate, though blocking established much of its presence earlier in the decade." They expect three in 10 Internet users will be using blockers by the end of 2018. This finding is from their recently-released report Ad Blocking in the US: eMarketer's Updated Estimates and Forecast for 2014–2018 which also revealed that the majority of ad blocking occurs on desktop vs. mobile. eMarketer...

It's not about data. It's about the right data. How many times have you heard that or words to that effect? And quite frankly some marketers can never hear it enough as far too many still don't know the difference. But that's another topic for another time. This is all about marketing technology — martech to you and me. And to say the martech landscape or ecosystem is a crowded space would be an understatement of monumental proportions. Before you consider that to be just an...

Sorry, I could not help myself with the "alternative fact" reference in the title. Just seemed appropriate given the context for as hard as it may be to believe for some, when a brand improves its customer experience, its revenue can and will increase, oftentimes significantly. That was the overall finding of a recently-released Forrester report entitled "Drive Revenue With Great Customer Experience, 2017" which reveals the connection between customer experience quality and...

For those who do not know me, I am not exactly the biggest Eminem fan. Nothing against him or his music - just not my cup of tea. But, after reading a quote from him on one particular topic, I may have to start paying more attention to the man for what he said about this one topic correlates exactly to the message I am delivering today. The topic is trust and this is what Eminem said when it comes to the subject of trust: "Trust is hard to come by. That's why my circle is...

It’s no secret that the best customers are the ones who engage with brands across multiple channels. It’s not surprising, therefore, that the brands who deliver value to customers across channels see strong growth. How much growth? Companies with strong cross channel customer engagement see a 9.5% year-over-year increase in annual revenue. Cross channel customers who shop on more than one channel have a 30% higher lifetime value score than those who shop on only one. Then add...
