Marketers see marketing responsibilities
as slightly more important than CEO’s do ...
but they are even more severe on their
own performance than CEO’s are

Presentation1

11
The CEO values segmentation and market analysis, but not
more than that
Marketing seems to be a short term responsibility where
pragmatism is expected
Marketing looks more and better at the past than to the
future
Marketing is not in the lead for innovation
Marketing is not convincing in building a consistent brand
And marketing is not expected to put sustainability on the
agenda

DOES MARKETING FAIL?

Editor's Notes

  1. Marketers are not looking forward to 2012MCI historical low driven by the fact that a majority of Marketers expect a budget decrease – and that difference vs. those who expect a status quo or an increase is far bigger than in the crisis years 2009 and 2010; moreover teams expected not to growNow putting the CCI published monthly by National Bank of Belgium as it was when YMS is realized, we see that it is pretty similar to MCI: >0: means Marketers are in tune with their consumers<0: means Marketers are reactive i.o. proactive>0, <0 ? The choice is yours
  2. CEO’s:45 respondentenMarketers: 139 respondenten
  3. Marketing became complex, for a while nowThe profile of the marketers has to change to be able to cope with the challenging timesBalance is boring, but it is what we need. We need marketers to balance between sometimes very contradicting skillsHe has to be a Generalist and have an overview on the whole marketing scene. At the same time, as marketing has to be very curious about specialized marketing domains ….He has to be creative, we want him to look at thing s in a different way, makes links, use past experience in other situations …. At the same time he has to love numbers and understand the importance of in depth quantitative analysis.Marketing is a tough discipline, strict timings and processes are required.
