IT
Marketing’s perceptions of IT:

IT is the department of “no.”
IT doesn’t speak marketing’s language.
IT doesn’t understand the need for speed.
IT isn’t concerned with the customer.

IT’s perceptions of marketing:

Marketing is spin.
Marketers don’t care about integration.

    IT motto.

Not all marketers need be technologists.
Just as not all marketers are “creatives.”
But tech must be part of marketing’s DNA.
3 Questions of the Daily Stand-Up:

1. What did I do yesterday?

2. What am I going to do today?

3. Are there any impediments in my way?
The traditional multi-month marketing cycle:

        Plan
               Create
                        Distribute
                                     Measure

 Time
Our customers are now agile.
That’s a problem, because this isn’t:

       Plan
              Create
                       Distribute
                                    Measure

Time
What’s important in modern marketing?

  • Individuals and interactions
  • Responding to change
  • Customer collaboration
  • Working content, “experiences”
From agile software development

Agile Marketing & Rise of the Marketing Technologist

Editor's Notes

  1. Now, I’m not saying that everyone in the marketing department has to be a technologist.
  2. But I think it will be even better than that. See, bringing technology culture into marketing will also import some of the operational paradigms that have powered rapid development in the Internet age. For instance, the methodologies of agile software development—a huge improvement over the rigid and time-consuming “waterfall” approach that preceded it—with a few tweaks, can provide the inspiration for “agile marketing” management approaches.
