4. The Marketer’s Digital Challenge:
More Important, But More Confusing!
We Hear Common Trends:
• I Saved My Budget, But Where
Should I Spend It?
• Which Emerging Capabilities Are
Right For My Brand?
• How Can I Better and More
Quickly Act On The Data?

including IBM, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, ING, and Nestlé USA (2007)

5. Marketers Struggle With Measurement In Four
Fundamental Ways
Action without data
• High-level goals without
supporting metrics to define them
• Measurement intended, but not
delivered (technology, budgets…)
Context without action Data without insight
• No plans for improvement, • Unread reports (everyone gets
continue as before seven…)
• Actions “miss the window” to be • Data used to justify current
effective activities, vs. guiding new ones
Insight without context
• Confusion on which measures are
“right” and deserve focus –
• Little proven business value from
web behaviors (“engagement”)

6. “Informed
decision-making
comes from a long
tradition of
guessing, and
then blaming
others for
inadequate
results.”
– Dilbert
