FROM THE EDITOR

 

We often divide resources among two distinct categories: building brand awareness or increasing demand generation. The reality of today’s complex purchasing environment is that these two battles – branding and demand gen – are part of the same war. Content can provide ammunition for both.

Thanks for reading,

Scott Brinker gives us this to think about: "Branding, messaging, and campaigns are predominantly about creation, while metrics and reporting are predominantly about analysis. Those are qualitatively different activities, right?" Later in this article from 2013, he asks us to think about this: "So if science in marketing is more than math — but less than magic — what exactly is it?"
 
 
How Do You Define And Mine Modern Marketing?
 

Amanda Batista summarizes the five marketing areas that make up the ideal Modern Marketer Scorecard: Marketing Technology, Targeting, Engagement, Analytics, and Conversion. Of those, Targeting and Engagement had the biggest dropoff between what marketers reported was ideal versus actual. Spoiler alert: This was way back in 2013. Not much has changed eight years later, has it?
