- #19 To deal with this degree of change and complexity – CMOs ’ responses indicated there were three key domains – three imperatives – where they feel the need to improve: Deliver value to empowered customers The digital revolution has forever changed the balance of power between the individual and the institution. If CMOs are to understand and provide value to empowered customers and citizens, they will have to concentrate on getting to know individuals as well as markets. They will also have to invest in new technologies and advanced analytics to get a better grasp of how individual customers behave. Foster lasting connections To effectively cultivate meaningful relationships with their customers, CMOs will have to connect with them in ways their customers perceive as valuable. This entails engaging with customers throughout the entire customer lifecycle, building online and offline communities of interest and collaborating with the rest of the C-suite to fuse the internal and external faces of the enterprise. Capture value, measure results Lastly, CMOs will have to quantify and analyze the financial results of their marketing initiatives and communicate them to the wider organization to enhance the marketing function ’s credibility and effectiveness. They also will have to inject new skills into the marketing function by expanding the digital, analytical and financial capabilities of existing employees and by hiring staff or by partnering with specialists to fill the gaps. And since it’s important to lead by example, CMOs will need to invest in enhancing their own expertise in these areas as well.
- #23 Yet, despite this stated priority, most CMOs are, in fact, still focusing on the transaction, and less so on the data required to build lasting relationships with the customer. When we look at the customer lifecycle, starting first with segmentation, then to awareness, interest, action, use, and bond – we see CMOs are using data primarily to segment and sell, not to generate awareness, stimulate interest and “ create customer tribes, ” as an industrial products CMO in Finland put it. This is partly because, historically, it usually has been easy to get segmentation and sales data. Market analysis firms have provided the former, and companies have collected the latter themselves. Obtaining data on the rest of the customer lifecycle has, by contrast, been much more difficult. Organizations that only look at segmentation and sales data are missing the opportunity to learn from the other phases of the customer lifecycle. And those phases are becoming increasingly important as customers connect with brands in totally new ways.
- #25 One reason CMOs are concerned is their apparent lack of influence over those areas that effect marketing ROI. If CMOs are to be held responsible for the marketing returns they deliver, they must also have significant influence over all four Ps: promotion, products, place and price. Surprisingly, this is often not the case. CMOs told us they exert a strong influence over promotional activities such as advertising, external communications and social media initiatives. But, in general, they play a smaller role in shaping the other three Ps. Less than half of all respondents have much sway over key parts of the pricing process, for example. Similarly, less than half have much impact on new product development or cross-company pricing. As all CMOs know, price, product and place significantly influence customer preference. At the same time, actions taken by marketing impact the organization. A special promotion, for example, may drive up demand, with implications for the supply chain. The CMO is uniquely positioned to capture and disseminate such customer insights throughout the organization.
- #40 For a long time, marketers have had three big marketing responsibilities: Marketers have always been responsible for knowing the customer. Marketers have always been responsible for defining what to market, and how to market. Marketers have always protected the brand promise. How are these responsibilities changing? Over the past year, IBM talked with more than 1,700 CMOs, analyzed academic writings, took a look at what content and ideas were shared through social media, and interviewed several CMO CIO Leadership Exchange participants. Based on that, this is where we collectively think our profession is going.
- #41 Marketers have always been responsible for knowing the customer. Data and analytics enable us to know each customer in a way that goes far beyond segmentation, demographics and transaction patterns—they surface a much wider set of needs that we can try to fulfill. Our new role is to help the enterprise see each customer as an individual.
- #42 Marketers have always been responsible for defining what to market, and how to market. Because we have a sense of individuals ’ wider needs, we can be much more strategic in how we fulfill them at every touchpoint. Certainly, with products and services—but far beyond that too: with knowledge, context, experiences, connections to others, a new peer set and more. This is about marketing driving not just marketing experiences, but the much broader set of experiences that a customer has with the company. Our role is to create a system of engagement that maximizes at each touchpoint.
- #43 Marketers have always protected the brand promise. In a world of radical transparency, each experience with the company is a test of its promise. And while we once lived in a world where gaps between that promise and reality were experienced by, well, those who experienced them, in an interconnected world a poor experience travels into the realm of social media out to tens, hundreds, thousands or, in some cases, millions of other people’s lives. That magnification also works in the reverse—positive experiences are magnified. One CMO summed it up as: “How we are is who we are.” Our new role is to put the best insurance policy in place: to build a brand and culture that are authentically one.
- #45 If we have done a great job of delivering on imperative 1 for our organization, then imperative 2 comes into play. A full view of a customer ’s needs means that we can then serve a broader set of his or needs. Enlightened by this full picture of what customers value, the business world divides into two types of companies: those that then approach customer engagement by being systemic in their approach and those that do it in pieces. The latter tend to approach marketing transformation project by project, supported by a proliferating array of tools. Projects, like cross-channel integration, geo-location, mobile strategy, campaign automation, cross-sell/up-sell and more, which are staffed by largely autonomous teams and approached in discrete initiatives. In contrast, systemic companies are intentional about their customer experience—at each moment and over time. They design how their company is experienced. They build a blueprint that makes sense of trends, developments and technologies as an integrated whole—how they fit together to accomplish the right outcome for the customer.
- #46 In imperative 1, we talked about how we can collect data about each customer to know him or her as an individual. But, of course, the same tools are in the hands of our customers and they can collect a tremendous amount of data about our companies. They can know everything about us.
