Social Business Practices are Changing
Marketing and IT Roles
• Marketing and IT can now collaborate more effectively.
• Social business brings greater awareness of thought leadership, a
stronger voice in management decisions and the ability to articulate ROI.
• Marketing and IT need to both acquire (for themselves) and hire new
skill-sets (for the organization).

Here’s another change that is very interesting: Executive Search Firm “Spencer Stuart” released two weeks ago their latest figures showing a radically different picture for CMOs. CMOs today are sticking around an average of 45 months—nearly doubling the time since 2004. And this during a period when marketers have only seen more disruptive changes than ever before and a wobbly economy at best. Why?Ad Age -- while a wobbly economy is part of that the reality is the CMO’s role has broadened to include everything from what they did before -- branding + social, mobile, back end technologies ecommerce and content -- CMOs are on the leading edge of their company’s biggest ambitions that will drive bottom line results.A recent AdAge article addressed this issue and most every CMO they interviewed came to a similar conclusion: technology is now a key role for marketers…and alignment with CIOs is becoming more crucial.
From a recent AdAge edition nothing the changing and growing role of today’s marketer.
The role of today’s marketer is much different. As a “marketer,” you can’t simply leave technology decisions and investments to the “techies.” Your role is now much bigger… and requires connecting, reaching, engaging and understanding consumers across multiple platforms.
According to a recent Neolane (of more than 200 heads of marketing from The CMO Club's global members), some 90% of marketing heads participating in a recent survey take responsibility for the overall positive connection between consumer and brand for their respective companies, but many lack the tools to measure increases or reductions in customer satisfaction. Nor do they have the responsibility for the company's profit and loss statement, which limits their ability to connect the experience. hen asked to name the obstacles in delivering a positive customer experience, 51% cited missing processes and accountability as an obstacle; 42%, organizational silos; 42%, incomplete, inaccurate or missing data; 34%, change management or cultural issues; and 30%, unable to personalize experience in real-time.Read more: http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/202930/cmos-lack-knowledge-to-measure-customer-experience.html?edition=61431#ixzz2XFgfpTjW
