In summary:

• The role of CMOs are getting larger and are beginning to encompass the domain of customer experience.
• The top marketing technology investments this year include: journey analytics, content marketing, voice of customer, social engagement & location intelligence.
• The marketing funnel is no longer a funnel; customers come in anywhere, not just at the top.
• Business strategies can be optimised with a better knowledge of the industry around the organisation.
• When tracking and reporting KPIs, understand your internal audience and focus on the right sets of data. Don’t forget to add your own insights! That’s how you turn data into information, and information into insights.
• Success metrics are not a one-size-fits-all solution; what works for one brand might not for another. Figure out what’s best for the business based on the company’s objectives.
• No matter how well thought out your online customer experience is, the offline experience has to be on par. Keep it consistent!
