Digital Marketing Opportunity Assessment
Completed For YOUR COMPANY- January 7, 2015
Overall Integrated Marketing Strategy Assessment Score
è Your marketing aims to be customer centric and responsive to member needs.
è Your marketing is aligned to business goals.
è You have occasional discipline on writing plans for the marketing team, and each channel.
è Your integration between channels is weak in several key areas -although clearly the teams are collaborative.
è For your size of company and industry, our benchmarks show you to be placed in the midway area of our Opportunity Grid.
è Your primary areas of opportunity are:
1. Adopting an analytics-driven approach to content and outbound campaigns would improve segmentations and relevancy, and
boost conversions.
2. While many digital channels are optimized themselves, there is limited integration, which may be frustrating or annoying to
customers - and leaving money on the table.
3. Social and search may be a key area of optimization by adopting a "learn and test" methodology based on engagement metrics
in both channels.
65
Integrated Marketing - Areas of Opportunity Score Content Marketing - Areas of Opportunity Score
è Most marketers also do not have a formal plan for integration. This is an
opportunity for investment, probably in small steps.
è Any investment in this area will require human and process investments.
è By incompletely gathering and integrating data, you are not able to fully
understand your customer journey around various channels. This could have an
impact on revenue, AOS, loyalty and engagement.
è You are not capturing or data in real time, and may be losing sales
opportunities through customization.
43
è Content marketing is a core area of marketing for you. You have consistently
high benchmarks in this area.
è Your content is bold, on brand and engaging. Sharing metrics and acquisition
strategies must be optimized to align with content marketing.
84
Digital Analytics - Areas of Opportunity Score Digital Advertising - Areas of Opportunity Score
è A digital analytics plan is an imperative, and without it, your ability is limited for
identifying and optimizing successful strategies.
è Many B2C marketers of your size have limited analytics staff, however this can
be outsourced for early learnings.
è Your analytics presence is so limited, that a quick start program is advised.
Start with a fractional attribution model. Then focus on an area (or channel) of mid-
strength to demonstrate the value and improve the case for investment.
32
è Digital advertising is a core area of marketing for you. You have consistently
high benchmarks in this area.
è Digital display could be a great source of analytics on customer and prospect
conversation, language and behavior, which may provide new insights for content
and outbound.
è Your use of programmatic solutions could be an accelerator for your branding
reach and acquisition. Further analysis of success metrics is needed to fully assess
the opportunity.
78
Email Marketing - Areas of Opportunity Score Social Marketing - Areas of Opportunity Score
è You are so reliant on this channel, and the use of a formal plan and KPIs is an
imperative for continued success.
è Personalization of message and cadence is a vital part of your brand, an
important to continue.
è As purchase or participation compels the permission grant, a welcome series
and personalized recommendations would improve subscriber value.
è You are following most good practices for sender reputation, but may have
opportunity in this area.
è List growth should be higher, and an area of focus for digital, website,
customer service and social teams.
81
è Social marketing is a core area of marketing and brand position for you. You
have consistently high benchmarks in this area.
è Social success is not limited to popularity ("likes") but must be linked with
actionable content and sales.
è Your use of social could be an opportunity for integration with outbound
messaging and content marketing.
78
Mobile Marketing - Areas of Opportunity Score Search Marketing - Areas of Opportunity Score
è Mobile is the common denominator for all digital experience, and having a
defined mobile plan that is synched to all other channels is essential.
è Your outbound campaigns are somewhat optimized for mobile. Investment
here will be determined by data on mobile use by key audiences.
è Overall, mobile customization is underutilized. Given your business model,
mobile experiences may not be a current area of focus, but will become
increasingly important in future.
40
è Like digital advertising, programmatic SEO and SEM are core areas of
marketing for you. You have consistently high benchmarks in this area.
è Search data could be a great source of analytics on customer and prospect
conversation, language and behavior, which may provide new insights for content
and outbound.
è While much of SEO is commoditized, there are newer services that provide
richer insights, predictive models and automated optimization. These may be worth
exploration.
