Why?
Branding, branding, and branding
Sexy marketing trends
More budget without proving impact
Show lots of marketing data with no P&L meaning
Focus too much on ‘arty fluffy’ side of marketing
‘Until marketers start speaking the P&L language of their CEO’s and CFO’s and
start tracking the effectiveness of their strategies and campaigns, they will
continue the lack credibility in the eyes of their CEO’s and will continue to be
seen more as a cost center than an asset’ Source: Fournaise Research
