Three Strikes and You're White Paper Three Strikes and You’re Out Three Strikes and You’re Out Why Marketing Automation Failed the First time, and Why This Time is Different Matt Williams, a Golden-Glove winning second baseman, was a promising batter but couldn‟t hit a curveball. He had potential but the wrong strategy. What did he do? He revamped his swing–and dramatically improved his batting average, not to mention his salary. Chipper Jones was the star third baseman for the Atlanta Braves, but he knew the importance of versatility. So to expand what he could offer the team he switched to the outfield–and may have saved his job. He‟s still playing for the Braves today, and he‟s back at third base by the way. What do these players have in common? They recognized the changing nature of their industry and did something significant to maintain their value, with significant success as result. Just as baseball has evolved, requiring new strategies and techniques to stay competitive, marketing is also undergoing a dramatic upheaval, driven by the Internet and the rise of marketing accountability. In turn, this will lead to new players and strategies for success in marketing automation. Marketing upheaval The Internet has forever changed the way we interact with and market to customers. Web sites, email campaigns, Webinars and pay-per-click campaign management are just a few examples of this, not to mention blogs, podcasts, and user-generated content. You won‟t find any of these tactics referenced in classic marketing textbooks from just a handful of years ago. But they‟re all valuable channels for interacting with potential customers, and they can‟t be ignored. Another fundamental change to marketing departments is a growing call for accountability. Marketing is a significant expense for many companies (a good rule of thumb is between five and 10 percent of total sales), but unlike manufacturing, IT, etc., traditional marketing expenses are loosely structured and hard to tie to revenue–which is why many executives think of marketing as a cost center, not an investment. And that makes marketing budgets hard to justify. Enter marketing automation When any market experiences significant change, companies spring up to provide solutions. For that reason I expect we‟ll see a rebirth of the marketing automation industry in the near future. This time around, however, things will be different, because it‟s a whole new ball game out there. © 2008 Marketo, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 2 As a category, marketing automation first emerged in the mid–„90s in response to the explosion of data available about customers, the emergence of online channels, and the need to keep track of it all. Marketing automation was first thought of as an extension of database marketing, and it later fell under the CRM umbrella. These solutions promised to bring companies closer to their customers, automate and streamline the marketing department, and deliver the holy grail of complete marketing accountability. Unfortunately, while that initial promise had promise, the majority of these solutions failed to deliver–and most of the early marketing automation vendors ended up being acquired or shut down. Why? What went wrong with marketing automation? WHAT WENT WRONG? Strike one In a stroke of irony, most first-generation marketing automation companies didn’t understand their own target audience. What do I mean by that? Early marketing automation companies didn‟t understand that marketers aren’t techie people. The solutions these companies built were delivered using on-premise software and were extremely difficult to install and integrate. They also required ongoing IT support, which is rarely available to marketing departments. First-generation marketing automation solutions were also expensive and often required up- front capital investment. The same can be said even for most of today‟s on-demand marketing automation vendors. Although marketing departments have large program budgets, they just don‟t have the budgets to buy expensive technology or huge annual subscriptions. Justifying investments for marketing is nearly impossible, because the department is nearly always seen as a cost center and not a revenue-generating asset. So while marketers can spend $20,000 for a demand-generation program or $50,000 for a tradeshow, they can rarely get those costs approved for software, no matter how promising. How‟s that for misjudging your target customers? Strike two While certainly helpful for executing campaigns, first-generation marketing automation companies overlooked the emerging need for marketing accountability at the CMO level. These solutions were focused on DOING marketing and didn‟t provide the tools marketing executives needed to demonstrate the bottom-line impact of their programs–in a way that mattered to the CEO and CFO. Measuring, forecasting, planning–these are all essential elements that were MIA in the first wave of marketing automation solutions. What‟s needed is a balance between the doing and the measuring. If a solution goes too far in one direction or the other, it simply won‟t work. © 2008 Marketo, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 3 Three strikes and you’re out. While the first wave of marketing automation solutions helped companies to target and communicate with potential customers, this raised its own set of problems with privacy and interruption. Customers now have options for avoiding unwanted “push marketing,” especially from companies with which they don‟t have a relationship. Today‟s buyers seek out their own solutions, with 93 percent of all B2B buying cycles beginning in a search engine. When potential customers actively seek out information about a particular product or service, they are more likely to make a purchase than, say, someone who happens to notice an advertisement in a technology magazine. So common sense says it behooves you to make yourself easy to find online. This is where search engine marketing (SEM) comes in. Search must be part of a complete marketing automation solution, because if marketers don‟t make themselves easy to find online, someone else will. And if that happens, it‟s game over. A NEW GAME Marketing automation is still a great idea, but the first wave of companies that attempted to do it simply went about it all wrong. The new contenders out there must learn from the mistakes of the past. To succeed they must provide a solution in a way that makes sense for the way marketers think and spend money. Fundamentally, this means marketing automation needs to be less like enterprise software and more like consumer software. And that means much more than simply providing “software as a service” or having a cool AJAX UI. It means selling like a web company, providing support like a web company, and pricing like a web company. In other words, solutions for the marketing department must be easy (and free) to test drive and trial. They need to be easy to use. They need to be easy to buy from existing marketing budgets. And they need to work without any IT support. Today‟s marketing automation solutions also need to reflect the latest techniques and trends in marketing, which means including search engine marketing as part of the equation. Doing this right requires a complete SEM solution, from keyword selection to bid optimization to landing page management. And the solutions must provide the measurement, forecasting and planning tools that marketers need to provide accountability to C-level management. Winning the new game of marketing automation won‟t be easy, but no one said it would be. The key is to keep your eye on the ball and anticipate the needs of your target audience. Otherwise you just may find yourself on the bench. © 2008 Marketo, Inc. All rights reserved.

  • Marketing Accountability Study White Paper
    Marketing Accountability Study White Paper Presented by © 2005 INTRODUCTION It’s one thing to ask marketers to justify expenses on their well-researched, thoroughly contemplated marketing programs, especially when it comes to a company’s bottom-line objectives in a given fiscal period. It’s quite another thing to impose accountability and responsibility for such expenditures onto those marketers in an effort to ensure that such efforts will have a direct connection with the overall business plan in the near- and long-terms. This 2005 study, co-sponsored by the American Marketing Association and Aprimo, Inc. is geared to provide evi- dence that the concepts behind marketing accountability are penetrating the silos of today’s C-level executives at Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 companies in the United States — specifically CMOs and others ultimately respon- sible for developing and implementing marketing programs. In an era of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other federally mandated initiatives that hold corporate executives responsible for their business practices, marketing ac- countability is expected to play a key role in the formation of future marketing procedures. The AMA defines marketing accountability as: “The responsibility for the systematic management of marketing resources and processes to achieve measurable gains in return on mar- keting investment and increased marketing efficiency, while maintaining quality and increasing the value of the corporation.” The goal of the study was to establish the importance of marketing accountability and other marketing-related is- sues; determine which initiatives related to marketing accountability are already in place (including the software and tools currently in use); identify the benefits and the obstacles to implementing marketing accountability objectives; and establish the degree to which companies are in compliance with accountability legislation imposed by regulatory bodies, such as the U.S.

Design/methodology/approach – To investigate the objective of the study, the authors adopted a qualitative approach, conducting an exploratory study among ten key informants located in Portugal. Findings – Based on the results of the qualitative analysis, a conceptual framework is proposed, which includes both strategic- and operational-level factors with the goal of creating a value-based agenda. In this agenda, executives such as the Chief Marketing Officer emerge as value creators, fostering business scalability, and further arguments are provided to justify budget allocation to MA activities. Originality/value – Through careful research of the elements that characterize the phenomenon under study, the present paper ultimately contributes to a better understanding of MA and accountability within the current business paradigm.

Abstract: Consensus exists in the academic and business expertsregarding the growing challenges in the status of the marketing department within the organization. Practitioners and academics suggest that the department does not get enough acknowledgeelements from the upper echelondue to its lack of accountability and internal legitimacy, despite its pivotal role in influencing the company's strategic direction.Marketing's lack of accountability not only leads to a weakening of the department's influence within the organization, but also threatens the department's legitimacy within the organization. Importance of marketing department and accountability of the firms have always been discussed by the industries and different organization's managers. In some firms, marketing has merely been one of the firm's segments and all of the branches have an identical status in the firm and none of them have the leadership duty. The aim of this study is explaining the relationship between the marketing's accountability and internal legitimacy by the firm performance. The methodology of the current study is a kind of descriptive-correlational one. The data collection instrument is a researcher-made questionnaire including a five-choice-range of Likert which has been distributed among the statistical sample of 315 of the middle managers and the employees of 35 brand owner firms in the clothing, home appliances, audio-visual, and furniture industries.

  • Whitepaper Integrated Marketing Automation
    WHITEPAPER INTEGRATED MARKETING AUTOMATION By: ActiveConversion ENGINEERED FOR INDUSTRY Page 1 Executive Summary Today, almost all your marketing activity directs interested prospects and customers to your website. Whether that activity is generated by traditional or online marketing methods, there haven’t been effective and low cost solutions for companies to measure the effectiveness of their marketing. In addition, there needed a way to convert those visitors into reliable leads for a sales team. Businesses that have longer sales cycles, such as in business to business (B to B), have not been able to take full advantage of their marketing because they are unable to extract enough information from these same leads. Leads are reluctant to fill out forms or call because they are not ready to buy, leaving 98% of visitors undiscovered. Who’s your next buyer? We can tell you in minutes. What’s working to reach them? Also, since direct response on the Internet is faster than the buyer’s ability to move through a sales cycle, businesses are unable to take full advantage of their online demand generation efforts. What was required to overcome this barrier was a system built specifically to follow a sales cycle, over time. ActiveConversion™ is software as a service (SaaS) that provides an organization with the ability to: manage marketing accountability, generate and nurture leads, and track their readiness to buy. It can be up and running in less than an hour. There is no software to install, no hardware to lease, and no IT expertise required. And because it is an integrated web service, it takes advantage of direct integration with tools such as Google, Vertical Response, Salesforce.com and Jigsaw Data.com.

  • Amarketing PERSPECTIVE on the IMPACT of FINANCIAL and NON
    216 SAJEMS NS 16 (2013) No 2 A MARKETING PERSPECTIVE ON THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL AND NON-FINANCIAL MEASURES ON SHAREHOLDER VALUE Nic S Terblanche, Charlene Gerber, Pierre Erasmus and Delia Schmidt Department of Business Management, University of Stellenbosch Accepted: August 2012 Abstract The pressure for financial accountability contributed to widespread concern about the function of marketing within the company. Consequently, marketers have become preoccupied with measuring the performance of marketing activity. Diverse financial and non-financial methods have been developed to provide evidence of how marketing activity impacts on the bottom line. This article proposes an approach whereby financial and non-financial performance measures are combined to measure the contribution of marketing to sales. Secondary data from two retail brands within the same industry were analysed whereby actual accounting data were adjusted to examine the link between marketing expenditures, specifically with regard to the 4Ps (typical non-financial measures), and sales. The results of the time series regression showed that the nature of the relationship between marketing expenditures and sales is dependent largely on the product characteristics. The link between marketing and sales depicted serves as a starting point from which to build a more robust measurement tool incorporating financial and non-financial marketing performance measures that will serve to justify investment in the marketing of a brand. Key words: shareholder value, marketing performance measures, time series analysis JEL: M368 1 these seem to be inadequate for measuring Introduction important elements of marketing performance (Lehmann, 2004). Researchers have found that Marketing managers are being required to a combination of financial (i.e.
