Five ways to start now Define the marketing technology stack. Inventory data, technology, and integrations Balance buying criteria. Acquiring tools that work well together is as important or more so than features. Contextualize campaigns into journeys. Group the campaigns that comprise holistic customer journeys for categorical orchestration and analysis. Document the identity graph. Document how and where customers are identified by mapping identifiers, sources, and position within the customer journey. Benchmark campaign and business KPIs. Prepare for the shift to continuous monitoring by understanding measurement parameters, inflection points, time-based trends, and variability.
What it means Execution still matters. Enterprise marketing core functions will be tied to delivery to align with budgets. Marketing budgets provide the leverage to drive innovation. Marketers will budget at the customer journey level to tie spend to performance. Vendors will collaborate to build joint offerings. Vendors will build new solutions from the ground up. The robots are coming. Automated analysis will assist marketers. Identity resolution is the next competitive battleground. Corporations’ customer identity graphs and profile data are balance sheet assets.
