Marketing Measurement: What’s the CMO Got to Do With It? - Sirius Decisions | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Here’s how the CMO can help ensure the success of the team’s measurement efforts.

  • Pave the way. 
  • Remove roadblocks. 
  • Provide conflict resolution. 
  • Guide and validate visualization of the data. 
  • Refine the process. 
  • Monitor the efforts.

Marketing Pipeline Metrics: Restoring Balance | SiriusDecisions

Marketing Pipeline Metrics: Restoring Balance | SiriusDecisions | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Demonstrating the impact of marketing when performance is the result of cross-functional efforts requires three elements:

  • Show performance of shared impact metrics. Whether the goal is increased deal velocity, better renewal rates or improved customer loyalty, you need to demonstrate that the impact metrics marketing invests in are, in fact, improving.
  • Provide proof of marketing participation. You need to prove that when marketing tactics are accepted by target audiences, impact metrics improve. If marketing isn’t involved, it will be uncomfortably difficult to assert any type of marketing influence over that performance improvement.
  • Present evidence that performance metrics change as marketing participation changes. Evidence of marketing impact requires a comparison. Some deal cycles may have light levels of marketing interaction, some may have heavy levels, and some may have no marketing interaction at all. When you compare what improvements take place when marketing is present to what happens when marketing is not, you can develop reasonable proof that marketing is making a difference.

Proven Technology

Analytics are driving so many marketing strategies as of late, it’s surprising companies got by without them. While all marketing automation platforms have some form of analytics, you can also have a separate program to strengthen your comprehension of what works and what doesn’t. Having a proper analysis platform can take a statistics-driven plan to the next level. Some statistics hold more weight than others and can have a positive impact on aiming content to your audience or understanding customer needs. Engagement is a huge part of this, so make sure to look for an analytics program that includes numbers about user interaction."I sco

Joemktg's insight:

I scooped only these two factors (CT for others). Here's the critical factor that's missing: what ties everything together so that proper attribution can take place?
