Data-driven CMO Report 2022
Data and marketing are inextricably linked, which means how CMOs utilize data is incredibly important. With this in mind, we wanted to take a look at CMO’s relationships with data in our first Data-driven CMO Report.
Download the report to discover how leading CMOs are tackling data now, and how they’re preparing for changes in the future.
Why have we created this report?
In our Growth CMO Report 2021, we found that 4 in 10 CMOs stated they don’t have access to the data they need to meet their goals. With data informing so many marketing decisions, this was quite alarming.
At the same time, we’re aware of changes to data accessibility that have been crucial for digital marketing for a long time, such as Google’s end to third-party cookies, coupled with the rollout of various regional data protection laws.
As such, we wanted to examine both how CMOs are currently collecting and utilizing data, and what plans they have for the future.
