“Despite the fact that more and more marketing people get promoted to company boards, the reality is that most marketing departments still struggle to be recognized as important players in organizations.” – says Greg Blazewicz, CEO of SALESmanago, European fastest growing marketing automation platform. “In my opinion, to achieve this recognition they need to switch from strategies aiming at acquisition of new customers to mastering relationships with their current clients by using all types of customer data”.
Other interesting outcomes from the survey:
