1) Marketing professionals and CMOs will face increased scrutiny and pressure to prove their accountability and deliver results in 2013, as the global economic outlook remains uncertain.
2) CMOs need to streamline marketing operations, make budgets work harder, and justify spending to increase ROI, while also listening more to consumer feedback.
3) To regain control, CMOs should establish a framework to focus efforts internally and with agencies, improve briefing processes, renegotiate media commitments if needed, and ensure agency incentives are aligned with business goals.
Marketing's magic metric
Elasticity is a misunderstood and neglected metric that can help marketers choose the best prices, the best promotions, the best media and so achieve optimum brand value, a leading academic has argued.
Writing in the current issue of Market Leader, Robert Shaw, honorary professor of marketing analytics at Cass Business School, described popular metrics such as awareness, engagement, loyalty and satisfaction as being helpful for brand beauty contests.
"But to pragmatic decision-makers they're as useful as sunroofs on submarines," he said.
Take price – "the litmus test of successful marketing" – where a premium signifies brand strength, differentiation and customer preference.
Cutting the price should theoretically increase revenues and market share, but Shaw pointed to the cautionary tale of General Motors which chased market share and ended up bankrupt.
"Smart decision-makers scrutinise revenue-growth and also take account of cost-growth," he averred, and they can pinpoint the precise price to optimise brand value.
That could mean raising prices and conceding market share while growing brand value. Or the opposite. "There are no cast-iron generalisations and the right decision depends on the details of the value calculations," Shaw advised.
A similarly pragmatic approach needs to be taken to decisions on promotions, which consumers have come to expect, but which can often damage brand value.
Shaw highlighted cannibalisation and rebates as big destroyers of brand value but added that, "judiciously planned, promotions are a major source of value for brand owners".
Turning to media elasticity, Shaw said this was typically much lower than price or promotional elasticity, with the law of diminishing returns setting in rapidly.
But knowledge of diminishing returns curves could enable planners to set an overall media budget that would help them both to find the total budget that optimised value-added and to select a mix of media that optimised value for a given total budget.
"Elasticity is not an esoteric concept," he declared. "This neglected metric deserves to be better known and more widely used."

Getting Buy-In From The Board - A Director's GuideNicola Ray
Today’s marketers are not only challenged by the rapid growth of digital marketing channels and technology such as relationship management and marketing automation; data and analytics also take a front seat.
In this guide we explore some of the key factors determining whether a marketer gets a seat at the board table. So are you ready?
From Stretched to Strengthened: Insights from the Global Chief Marketing Offi...Steven Duque
Today’s customers can shop around the globe, find out more than ever before about the organizations they’re dealing with, and share their views with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of fellow customers. Their expectations — be they consumers, citizens or business customers — are soaring. And they can make or break brands overnight.
So how are chief marketing officers (CMOs) faring amid such turbulence? We conducted face-to-face interviews with 1,734 CMOs, spanning 19 industries and 64 countries, to find out what they are doing to help their enterprises cope with the fundamental shifts transforming business and the world.
Our CMO Study is the latest in IBM’s series of C-suite Studies, encom- passing interviews with more than 15,000 top executives over the past seven years. The study casts light on the challenges public and private sector CMOs confront — and the opportunities they envision — in increasingly complex times. It also illustrates how closely CMOs’ perception of the marketplace mirrors previous assessments by chief executive officers (CEOs).
In an era of the disruption of traditional advertising and the ever growing digital media channels, brands have the opportunity to connect directly with their audiences online and through social media.
Advertisers are re-locating their budgets from traditional advertising to content media.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
