From a Marketing ROI Fantasy to a Marketing Operations Mindset

• Number reporting the use of ROI and profitability metrics has
remained steady since 2008
• Organizational pressure from senior management is quite high
• Firms using ROI are more likely to report expecting greater
growth than competitors
• Firms reporting that they calculate ROI are 3 times more likely
to report marketing as “highly effective and efficient”

ClearAction clients’ experiences
Because each of the ClearAction
team members managed CX in B2B
for a number of years, they provided
personal examples and practical
tools that could be implemented right
away. It was incredibly beneficial for
us to work with them for several
occasions. They elevated our
collective knowledge and helped us
achieve a higher level of CX maturity.
– A. Chu, Dir Customer Experience
ClearAction is an expert in business
operations and has been an
invaluable resource for us to learn
best-practices in many areas. They
taught us things that would not
readily cross our minds, but after they
explain, it makes total sense, and this
increased our efficiency and
accuracy in many areas. I highly
recommend ClearAction.
– K. Van Diepen, Dir Marketing Communications
ClearAction has been at the forefront
of helping companies like ours
reduce chaos, maximize resources
and achieve impactful results.
They’ve provided mission-critical
guidance to begin the process of
building a strong marketing
operations function that supports our
company’s growth, scale and
continuous improvement objectives.
– K. Chalmers, Dir Marketing Operations
