  1. Hello, My name is John Weisgerber, I work for GumGum, the leading’s image recognition platform for marketers. Together with our partner Brand Innovators, I’d like to share a preview of an extensive research that explores how marketers think about the current structure and focus of their respective marketing organizations, as well as their sense of what the future holds.
  2. Before we go over the key findings of the study, I’d like to introduce GumGum briefly. In 2015, the average consumer’s attention span was 9 seconds. Apparently the average attention’s span of a goldfish is 8 seconds.
  3. What’s so powerful about images is that they can communicate a message in milliseconds and are the perfect medium to deliver a brand’s value proposition in a very short period of time. In fact images can be processed 60,000x faster than words.
  4. At GumGum our role is to extract insights and value from images to marketers. We do this across editorial and social images.
  5. We help marketers run ads within the boundaries of images on editorial web site such as Time, RollingStones or People.com. In addition we levareg our proprietary image recognition technology to find images that relate to your brand on social media.
  6. Now, let's move on to the research. Never have so many talked so much about a topic so little quantified as the marketing organization of the future. There are many airy proclamations of big, vague changes lying ahead as marketing organizations evolve to deal with developing trends such as the increase of programmatic buying, the growth of native advertising, and the rise of consumer adoption of mobile devices and content. As one senior marketing executive we talked to noted, “If you look at what a CMO was doing four or five years ago, you look at what they’re doing today, and you think about what they need to be doing in the future, it’s pretty obvious that their roles are evolving to a greater degree than anywhere else in the enterprise.” But to date, few actual details have emerged of how (or even if, for that matter) brands are actually evolving the focus and structure of their marketing organizations in the face of these trends. Until now. Building the Marketing Organization of the Future surveyed over 240 brands in the U.S. about the current structure and focus of their respective marketing organizations, as well as their sense of what the future holds. Here’s what they told us:
  7. While there are obviously big changes afoot, many organizations emphasize the importance of ‘agile evolution’ as a core of what marketing organization must do.
  8. 41% of respondents have increased their staffing levels over the past 2 years; 19% have decreased And more help is on the way ….. Overall, 54% are at least likely to change current staffing levels over the next two years
  9. 246 people completed the survey broken out into 5 segments that describe their current marketing organization: 23 who describe their organization as Stodgy; 103 who describe their organization as In Flux; 36 who describe their organization as Well-oiled; 61 who describe their organization as Solid; and, 23 people who describe their organization as Innovative Nearly half (42%) of marketers work for an organization “in flux,” presenting a classic glass half-full or half-empty dilemma: Although it is encouraging that such a large percentage of organizations are trying to evolve their focus to be more effective, it is less encouraging that so many organizations are still in the midst of this process.
  10. Today, 44% allocate at least 30% of their budget to digital; 18% allocate over 50% 79% see their digital budget increasing in 2017
  11. 1 in 4 are in the right spot as “strategic advisors” Almost ½ (44%) are just tactical executions 16% are evolving A trend likely to continue as 58% of respondents see their mission evolving over the next 24 months
  12. What we discovered was that participants view changes in consumer behavior (84%), marketing tactics (76%), and digital technology (76%) as having the most impact in terms of driving organizational changes, significantly more so than either competitive dynamics (62%) or strategic direction from the C-Suite (58%).
  13. When it comes to innovation or tech, Marketing has a say, but others own
  14. Regardless of its perceived challenges, the creation of successful cross-functional teams is widely viewed as the best organizational paradigm for today’s brands
  15. 33 % of overall respondents see an expanded role for agencies and vendors over time; 31% see a diminished or less reliant role on outside vendors
  16. Overall, shifting priorities at the corporate level is the biggest hold back to optimal performance
