Industry Views
“Marketing’s credibility within the boardroom is being damaged because of difficulties in demonstrating its true value… The number one issue is measurement and reporting which stops them from demonstrating the value they are actually delivering.”
“The Marketing Credibility Gap”December 2006
“Currently, most large companies have physically separate marketing departments in different parts of the world, leading to no clear succinct global company “voice” – or unified marketing effort... It is time for marketing departments across the world to join hands.“
