Follow on Google News | Data-driven marketing is linked to improved sales performance and market share, ITSMA research showsNew research from ITSMA and Patricia Seybold Group shows that data-savvy marketing organizations help drive business benefits.
By: ITSMA ITSMA defines data-savvy organizations as those who share three important characteristics: • A culture that places importance on making decisions based on data and analysis, • Formalized data collection processes and clear expectations, and • Leading edge or above average data usage to support marketing activities. The survey showed that while B2B services marketers recognized that data-driven marketing is important, very few considered themselves as leading-edge users of marketing data. Furthermore, only a handful of senior executives are relying on marketing data to make decisions. “If you have a data-driven marketing organization, you will see business benefits,” says Julie Schwartz, senior vice president of research and thought leadership for ITSMA. “But becoming data driven isn’t easy and it takes time.” The key traits differentiating data-savvy marketing organizations from other organizations are: • Time and experience with data collection and analysis, • A marketing technology strategy, • Data governance, • Dedicated analytics resources, and • Organizational outreach, resulting in non-marketing executives having greater confidence in the data. The survey respondents— Schwartz and Sue McKittrick, Analyst and Principal Consultant at Patricia Seybold Group, will be presenting highlights from the survey during ITSMA's Online Member Briefing, Marketing Metrics to Business Metrics: Taking the Leap, May 17, 2011, at 8:00 a.m. PT, 11:00 a.m. ET, 16:00 London time.
