Constantly changing, highly-demanding customer preferences require marketers to interpret large volumes of data and respond appropriately. But siloed data systems provide only a partial picture and hinder decision making.
It’s critical to be able to continuously modify marketing plans to ensure a responsive, optimized strategy. However, most marketers use manual and inflexible spreadsheets, making it difficult to execute change quickly.
Marketing teams can be fragmented and disconnected from sales. This can lead to siloed planning, misalignment with overall marketing goals, and misallocated spend on the wrong elements of the marketing mix.
