68% OF MARKETERS FEEL THAT THEIR JOB IS MORE STRESSFUL COMPARED TO FIVE YEARS AGO
09 Sep 2015
LONDON (9 September, 2015) – Continuous innovations in technology, hyper-connected consumers with raised expectations, and the pressure to demonstrate marketing ROI are just some of the challenges causing the greatest headaches for marketers. But, a marketing migraine relieving webinar announced today looks to reveal how to overcome the greatest challenges facing modern marketers.
Based on recent research by Econsultancy in partnership with SmartFocus, the Marketers’ Biggest Challenges webinar will draw out highlights from the ‘Marketing Pain Points & How To Overcome Them’ 2015 report. The presenters will look at the challenges facing marketers, their 'migraine rating' and how these pain points can be mitigated.
Among the headaches for marketers, the webinar will drill down into a number of data-related pain points, including marketing attribution and gaining a single customer view. Themes covered will also include personalisation, contextualisation and email.
Jess Stephens, Chief Marketing Officer for SmartFocus, explains: “Marketing is now mission critical for businesses in a world where the consumer is constantly online and connected. Their expectations have risen and rightly so, but equally the pressures on marketers have also grown. Our research shows nearly three quarters of marketers now feel their job is more difficult than it was five years ago. This webinar is our way of supporting marketers and helping them rise to the challenge.”
Linus Gregoriadis, Research Director of Econsultancy says: “Digital technology and changing consumer behavior have created a near infinite number of opportunities for marketers to reach and engage customers, while also creating a whole host of new problems for marketing teams to wrestle with. Our webinar will look at a selection of the biggest challenges facing marketers, their 'migraine rating' and how these pain points can be mitigated.”
