68% of CMOs feel that adding a technology partner to their agency relationship would help maximize marketing ROI
London – The CMO Club, a community of the world’s most engaged and inspired senior marketing executives, in partnership with MediaMath, a global technology company empowering marketers, announced the release of a new study that reveals how CMOs are increasing measurable ROI beyond media programs. The research brief uncovers an emerging dynamic in CMO technology approaches, transforming from “programmatic advertising” to “programmatic marketing.”
The paper “Evolving Your Agency Partnership Model to Drive Programmatic Success” details insights from a survey of more than 70 CMO Club members that includes CMOs and marketing executives all with more than $1 million budgets. Research also featured one-on-one interviews with global brands such as Chili’s Grill & Bar, Western Union, Denver Mattress Company and Hilton Hotels.
In this report, CMOs share how they are using technology to extract and leverage real-time insights and enable contextually relevant messaging to customers across multiple channels to drive greater marketing ROI. As Dustin Bomar, VP Digital Acquisition at Hilton Worldwide said, “You have to be comfortable getting into the decisioning and optimization on ROI, and you have to be comfortable in the data. That’s been our biggest shift.”
Programmatic is creating a new and interdependent ecosystem among brands, agencies and technology partners. Seventy percent of CMOs surveyed ranked the partnership between marketing technology providers and agencies as “very important” to their success. As Jocelyn Hayashi, SVP, Global Agency Practice for MediaMath, commented: “In this rapidly evolving marketing ecosystem, brands must increasingly incorporate programmatic best practices across their entire marketing strategy and gain a deeper understanding of how to best engage and leverage agencies to fulfill their goals.”
CMOs have a critical need for partners who can deepen their knowledge to use data, insights and technology to drive business outcomes. As Pete Krainik, CEO and Founder of The CMO Club stated, “This research provides rich insight into what’s happening in the vastly changing landscape of programmatic marketing. As CMOs shift to embrace an integrated, strategic programmatic approach that spans channels and operates with real-time, data-driven insights, it is a game-changer for building brand awareness as well as increasing marketing ROI.”
