At the start of 2015, you responded to our poll on goals by confirming that “improving measurable commercial impact” was one of your top priorities for 2015. Amongst the CI teams that I’ve seen, the easiest place to initially demonstrate this is in marketing measurement.

The quickest way to deliver measurable incremental profit is often to either retain more customers or sell more, either way such results make an immediate impact and so help establish commercial credibility prior to longer burn insight investment in shaping strategy or new propositions.

This can be a stumbling block for some businesses. By popular demand, my topic when speaking at two events this year is ‘measuring your marketing effectiveness‘.
