Getting Started with Online-to-Offline Measurementbrandonwishnow
Although most marketers would agree that online-to-offline measurement is important for the future success of their business, it’s hard to know what steps to take to adopt this strategic initiative.
Ovative/group has found that when done correctly, online-to-offline addresses many of the most complex business problems by providing answers to questions such as: What is the impact of an online visit on offline sales?

– Why online-to-offline is important and how to prioritize it among other strategic initiatives
– Who within your organization needs to be involved and how to structure your team

Tips and tricks from our own account-based marketing programs, having to shirt from in-person to virtual workshops in response to the coronavirus crisis.

But although the coronavirus pandemic is a new challenge, as marketers we can learn lessons from previous global crises and try to apply them to our current approach. We’ve collated our thoughts on how B2B marketing strategy should change (or not) in the Covid-19 era along with guidance on tone, tactics and more.

The Footsteps mission is to “Help children with the determination and the dream to move like their friends, but who lack the physical ability to do so.” Based in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, they offer an innovative, intense form of physiotherapy that children with disabilities can’t access anywhere else in the UK.
Every penny raised for them goes to supporting families that ordinarily wouldn’t be able to afford for their kids to go through the treatment. Which is why we’ve put together Chains for Change: a mission to cycle 175 miles in a day to raise money. From the £50 it costs to buy one footstep – an hour of physiotherapy – to the £9,000 it takes to fund a child for a year.
Pedal-off is on 10 July 2015. And there’ll be a host of other activities in the run up, when we’ll be inviting everyone at TMP to take on their own 175 challenge. And we’ll be welcoming the cyclists back with a big party.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
It's another new era of digital and marketers are faced with making big bets on their digital strategy. If you are looking at modernizing your tech stack to support your digital evolution, there are a few can't miss (often overlooked) areas that should be part of every conversation. We'll cover setting your vision, avoiding siloes, adding a democratized approach to data strategy, localization, creating critical governance requirements and more. Attendees will walk away with actions they can take into initiatives they are running today and consider for the future.

Summary
There’s a damaging debate in B2B marketing about whether focus on ROI constrains
creativity.
Now more than ever someone needs to prove that both reputation building and driving
extraordinary revenue are possible from the same marketing programmes. That’s what we
have done in 2014/15:
• Microsoft Devices: increasing business market share from 12%1
to 26%2
.
• Standard Life: rebranding and outperforming revenue targets by 3x.
• Atos: generating sales of €284 for every €1 invested (and pipeline that built over 1800x
investment in the programme).
• Genpact: showing that marketing can contribute 27% of the pipeline, up from 5%.
The secret: we have built a one-of-a-kind integration of all disciplines needed from
awareness through to fully qualified sales handover (e.g. creative/content/digital through to
Inside Sales).
Which has made 2014/15 the most successful year in our 13-year history: revenue
increasing from £6.7m to £8.5m and new wins at Standard Life and SAS setting the scene
for future growth.
All at the same time as:
• Achieving an “Outstanding” rating in the Best Companies To Work For survey;
• strengthening our training Academy;
• developing new targeted online advertising techniques into a Digital Demand
Centre proposition;
• raising £22,000 for charity;
• increasing profitability from 10% to 16%.

Creative thinking
More than crayons
Our model is tried and tested. But that
doesn’t mean we sit still. Over the past year,
we’ve invested heavily in advancing our
capabilities to meet growing demand, and
the changing nature of marketing.
• Strengthening our Digitally Enhanced
Demand Centre model by integrating
highly-targeted digital advertising and
a suite of pipeline modelling tools.
• Creating a dedicated content team.
Made up of writers and strategists
focusing on innovative ways to
communicate. Such as introducing
personalised video as a way to
support traditional demand generation
with clients like SAS and Google.
• Developing our Marketing Innovation
and Planning team to offer a broader
range of services – like account
profiling to support the generation
of targeted content, and the roll-out
of a social selling training course to
multiple clients’ sales teams.

Financial performance and stability
Banking on itOur financial performance directly reflects the strength
of our reputation and revenue proposition and robust
delivery model. In 2014 we generated turnover of £8.5m
- an increase of 26.5% on 2013 - at a profit margin of
16% compared to 10% the previous year.
And we’ve strengthened our base of clients with SAS,
Standard Life and Hewlett Packard joining our family.

Staff and community engagement
The collective
Our most important ingredient.
We’ve got a great balance of experience and fresh talent. 23% of our
staff were recruited as graduates – with two of them progressing to
board positions, and one heading up our new Content team. Yet 7
employees have been with us for more than 10 of our 13 years.
Sharing and caring: inside and out
This year we’ve invested in the ‘TMP Academy’ to strengthen our
skills. We launched Frontier Sessions – where experts in an emerging
topic run workshops to share their knowledge across the agency.
To celebrate excellent work we launched the TMP Hall Of Fame –
where our greatest projects of the year are showcased.
It’s all part of how we keep our marketers engaged. And as a result,
this year we were rated as “Outstanding” in the Best Companies To
Work For survey.
In addition to being founder members of the Business Marketing
Collective, our regular S&M Forum acts as a best practice sharing
session where industry peers network and learn from examples of
the latest in reputation and revenue driven marketing. And it’s seen
more attendees over the past year than ever before.
The TMP Foundation exists to raise funds for well-deserving charities.
Last year we raised over £22,000 with some stand-out events. And
by involving our clients in every event, we strengthen relationships
based on common principles.

Client testimonials
“We needed a partner with a similar vision to support our
drive into the UK market. TMP have helped marketing take
responsibility for pipeline generation in Salesforce – everyone that
has worked with them raves about the accountability and quality
of the results.”
Louise Clark, Senior Marketing manager, Salesforce
“TMP’s vision for how marketing should build reputation and
revenue resonated with me from the start. Almost 12 months on,
our marketing has already started to fulfil that vision and change
long-established perceptions in our business.”
Susie Logan, Head of Business Marketing and Communications, Standard Life
“The past year has seen marketing play a critical role in carrying
Lumia forward as a business brand. TMP have been at the heart of
strengthening our pipeline and building the reputation of Lumia
for business. I’m really excited by the work we continue to do
together.”
Angela Munroe, B2B Marketing Lead, UK, Microsoft Devices
