“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, Sr. Group Manager, Global Marketing Operations & 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.
