The Enterprise Marketing Challenge [read]

The explosion of rich-media content and new screen devices means unprecedented opportunities for delivering great customer experience. Businesses and consumers love rich media, but working with content in the multichannel world brings challenges:

  • Tighter management of rich-media usage and bringing content explosion under control.
  • Exploitation of new digital channels, especially the growth of tablet use, to integrate accurate product information with compelling brand messaging.
  • Managing the growth in marketing complexity resulting from globalization, higher numbers of stakeholders and processes, and the need for marketing to integrate as an enterprise-level department.

The goal is simple – Great Customer Experience – but the hurdles are significant.

Pain Points [read]

  • Increasingly complex marketing operations create bottlenecks. Siloed systems result in confused communication, inefficiency and increased time to market.

  • The need to sync product information, brand assets and multichannel campaign experiences produces unprecedented complexity in managing assets.

  • As enterprise marketing becomes ever more critical, it must integrate with existing enterprise IT systems and provide levels of reporting expected of other enterprise departments.

  • Customer access to brands through new channels and devices has created a demand for higher-than-ever quality of customer experience.

  • Brand messages must be consistent across multiple channels and devices wherever they are experienced across the globe. Campaigns must be localized and relevant for every customer – multilingual and culturally appropriate, with region-specific product information.
