It’s decided, in 2021 we will monitor our marketing plan!
Do you find it tiring to kepping chasing the same information? Especially in this delicate period where our job as marketers is being disrupted and where we must be able to act and react quickly… Monitoring our marketing plan to answer the following questions has never been so important to gain the agility to bounce back:
- How much did we spend so far and how much do we have left? Is it possible to allocate an additional budget to whoever just asked for it?
- How much are we investing in this segment? Is it aligned with our plan?
- Which campaigns are generating most opportunities? What are the most expensive initiatives? What is their ROI?
- How do we invest? What are the most common activities?
- How do we consolidate the plans of the different BUs or countries?
So many questions which, without anticipation, can take hours of work to provide answers that, hopefuly will not be to far away from reality.
