If you’re a marketer, I have some bad news for you.
Your company leadership doesn’t trust you.
A recent study by the Fornaise Group found that a whopping 80% of CEOs admit they’re not impressed by the work of marketers.
Why?
CEOs believe that marketers are too focused on the latest marketing technologies, vanity metrics that don’t matter or developing dazzling creative instead of the very thing they are hired to do — generate more demand for their businesses.
At the heart of all of this is measurement. Executive leadership wants marketers to be focused on return on investment (ROI) and be able to demonstrate real, quantifiable results.
If marketers want a seat at the boardroom table, they need to prove they belong there by losing the fluff and getting down to the metrics that matter.
