“Coming from a world of spreadsheets to a tool that actually allows me to have visibility and insight into what’s going on in the world is invaluable. Transparency drives better decisions.”
Helena Lewis, Chief – Marketing Operations and Technology
Challenges Marketers Face
1
Spreadsheet chaos
Spreadsheets lead to issues like version control, massive Excel files and multiple approaches to the same process.
2
Past performance is missing
Spend is less effective if last year’s performance isn’t taking into account when making decisions on this year’s investments.
3
Missing the forest for the trees
Inability to roll up all plans and budgets leaves marketing blind to whether they are set up to meet their goals.
Nearly half (47%) of CMOs still depend on basic budgeting methods that roll last year’s budget into the next financial period or incrementally apply a percentage increase or decrease to last year’s budget. Budgeting immaturity presents significant risks to CMOs.
