Modern marketing organizational structure @kaykas - jascha kaykas-wolffJascha Kaykas-Wolff
Organizational design and restructuring is not new. But, with the requirement to create data-driven marketing organizations and support marketers who show bottom line results more emphasis is being placed on marketing leaders to structure their teams and business in a way that is agile and impactful.
Reflecting on this, and doing some additional research of my own, I was struck by the lack of published material describing how one might go about building a marketing organization that addresses business challenges happening right now and most importantly that can drive results right now.
Over the past several years as I’ve been fortunate to lead marketing organizations for enterprise and mid-market businesses. During this time I’ve developed an organizational playbook that can scale to virtually any size of business, is highly adaptable, and has a proven track record for success.
Enclosed is the core framework for what I believe is an ideal composition for the modern marketing organization. I’m looking forward to your feedback. - Jascha

Define a Powerful Go-to-Market Strategy That Sets Your Product ApartCompellingPM
Your Go-to-Market Strategy is the foundation that defines how you’re going to compete with your product and win in the market. But all too often, companies jump right to defining their product or marketing tactics without a solid foundation of strategy. And even when a Product Manager or Product Marketer makes an attempt to define a Go-to-Market Strategy, too often, it’s created without solid evidence or without the depth necessary to make it compelling. And because different stakeholders have different ideas and definitions for a Go-to-Market Strategy, they are unlikely going to satisfy the expectations of all stakeholders.
In this webinar, we’ll help you to create a clear understanding of what a Go-to-Market Strategy is and what Product Management and Product Marketing need to do to create a powerful Go-to-Market Strategy that will set their product apart from the competition.
Key Takeaways from participating in this webinar:
--Develop a common definition for a Go-to-Market Strategy that can be shared with your organization
--Learn the seven elements that go into a complete Go-to-Market Strategy
--Understand the essential steps to creating your Go-to-Market Strategy

SEO is no longer just about search.
In fact, SEO, which in its early days focused primarily on keywords
(finding, optimizing, ranking), is now a baseline factor of a broader Internet
Marketing strategy across the Enterprise.
This new SEO-driven market segment that has been called Web
Presence Management (WPM) is based on the reality that keywords no
longer drive search results, but rather optimized content does.
As the SEO market matures, quality measures, such as reputation, trust,
content relevance and author authority, are replacing the old quantity
metrics, such as keyword rankings and link volume.
Advanced SEO solutions now weigh campaign performance metrics
(based on brand building, site traffic and conversion) more heavily than
keyword rankings.
This reality is based on changes in the way customers search, the
increasingly integrated omni-channel marketing environment and,
most notably, changes to Google’s Search Engine Results Page (SERP)
algorithms that favor page content freshness, density and content-rich
media over standard keyword search.
All of this means that Modern Marketing Organizations (MMOs) must
re-evaluate their SEO strategies, processes and campaigns.
In this report we will examine the state of the market, share results from the
SEO Benchmark Study, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of 15 top
SEO solutions in our vendor landscape to help organizations choose the
best solution for them, highlight the current trends in SEO that will have an
impact on Enterprise SEO initiatives and provide some recommendations
for the way forward as SEO is redefined right before our eyes.
Demand Metric defines Search Engine Optimization Platforms
as those frameworks, tools and technologies that use searchrelated
functionally to secure high visibility and web presence
for brands, products, services and companies through the use
and management of elements, such as keywords, links, content
relevance and social signals tracking.
This slide presentation is part of our digital strategy programme and put together in collaboration with my colleague Neil Kelley.
in here we look the Strategy part of SOSTAC (PR Smith), the RACE model (Dr. Dave Chaffey) some other models such as TOWS and Ansoff Matrix, and finally the introduction of a new e-marketing mix integrating on-line and off-line marketing activities.
The Footsteps mission is to “Help children with the determination and the dream to move like their friends, but who lack the physical ability to do so.” Based in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, they offer an innovative, intense form of physiotherapy that children with disabilities can’t access anywhere else in the UK.
Every penny raised for them goes to supporting families that ordinarily wouldn’t be able to afford for their kids to go through the treatment. Which is why we’ve put together Chains for Change: a mission to cycle 175 miles in a day to raise money. From the £50 it costs to buy one footstep – an hour of physiotherapy – to the £9,000 it takes to fund a child for a year.
Pedal-off is on 10 July 2015. And there’ll be a host of other activities in the run up, when we’ll be inviting everyone at TMP to take on their own 175 challenge. And we’ll be welcoming the cyclists back with a big party.

Beyond Sales: The New KPI's Of Marketing ROIDaniel Newman
In Marketing, the job starts and ends with the goal of creating customers. However, in a world gone social where mobile, big data and 24x7 availability of technology rule the roost, brands need a new method for measuring their marketing return on investment (ROI).
Revenue and sales are at the core, but for marketers to truly measure their impact they also need to consider things like customer retention, satisfaction and employee engagement in their evaluation.
Welcome to a new world of marketing, where new KPI's drive the initiatives of the marketing organization.
This is an introduction to branding for people that have had little exposure before.It looks at branding basics, compares marketing to branding, and briefly looks at successful marketing tactics. It also covers the elements of a marketing plan.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

22. AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MARKETING TO LEAD
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
3a – False partnership
• Marketing has minor role in lead
generation strategy
• May have revenue responsibility,
usually shared with sales.
• Limited or no control over
customer experience, product
development.
3b – True partnership
• Marketing has a significant role
in lead generation strategy
• Has revenue responsibility that is
usually shared with sales, but
may also be a standalone target
• Significant or leadership role in
managing customer experience,
product development
1– Sales led
• Marketing supports sales with
brand and lead gen activities
• Rarely has revenue
responsibility, and that is usually
shared with sales, not a
standalone target
• Small role in growth strategy,
product direction, etc.
2– Marketing led
• Marketing drives much or all of
revenue
• Leads growth and lead
generation strategies

Customer journey mapping: identify pain points & moments of truth with prioritised actions
Business actions: Internal change programme and employee engagement
Marketing actions:
• Messaging development for new positioning
• Customer lifecycle communications (moments of truth)
• Customer advocacy refresh
• Prospect and customer segmentation

30. STUFFOCATION - JAMESWALLMAN
“Instead of stuff, focus your energy,
money and time on experiences.”
“Switch from the materialist mindset —
so last century — and get on board with
the key cultural trend of the 21st
century: experientialism.”
“Instead of looking for status, happiness
and meaning in material things, start
getting them from experiences.”
CONCLUSIONS
32. A FINAL QUESTION…
So what are you doing to help
your customers find status,
happiness and meaning?
If you can do that, they’ll stay with
you for life.
