HARDWORKING MARKETING
FOR HARDWORKING PEOPLE
Thank you!

The document discusses how modern marketing is interruptive and people are escaping advertisements. It suggests that marketing should focus on customers' interests and needs rather than just promoting products. An intent-driven marketing approach is proposed that uses data on customers' online activities and interests to better engage potential buyers at different stages, from initial research to purchase. A pilot program found this approach increased leads, traffic, customer visibility and ROI compared to traditional marketing.

Big Data & Automated Closed-Loop Marketing

Indra Chandon

Big data and automated closed-loop marketing uses data collected from customer interactions to automate repetitive marketing tasks and integrate analytics to create business insights. This allows organizations to build meaningful customer relationships, improve products and services, and be more efficient. While companies collect this data, automated closed-loop marketing also gives consumers more control over how and when they are contacted by brands. Developing a digital strategy is important to make the most of these technologies and data.

1) Personalized campaigns that are timely and relevant are most effective for account-based marketing initiatives. Campaigns should utilize hyper-personalized packages, meeting incentives for executives, and focus on quality over quantity. 2) It is important to measure account-based marketing efforts at different stages and use both leading and lagging indicators. Metrics should focus on coverage, awareness, engagement, meetings, customer mindshare, opportunities, pipeline, and impact or return on investment. 3) Demonstrating engagement shifts over time through metrics like total minutes of engagement can help showcase the success of an account-based marketing program. Adopting a simple awareness-to-opportunities funnel can also help track progress.
