2. Econsultancy, modern marketing manifesto -
data
We believe data must be turned into insight and action to be a
source of customer, competitive and marketing advantage.
Data is the bedrock upon which successful research, segmentation,
marketing automation, targeting and personalisation are built.
Data allows us to predict future behaviour which is fundamental to
creating strong customer lifetime value models and optimising
marketing effectiveness. Digital channels provide new and valuable
sources of data and customer insight that can be acted upon in real
time.
If you do not see data as exciting, valuable and empowering then you
are not a modern marketer.

3. Econsultancy, modern marketing manifesto -
brand
We believe the internet has forced transparency upon brands and
businesses. Brands no longer control the message, consumers do.
This loss of control means businesses must communicate authentically and
this requires a clear sense of self to which they can be true.
In a digital age what modern marketers need most is a strong brand.
