Ironically, the ad industry recently suggested that the word “digital” be retired since almost all marketing is touched by digital in some way. But, it’s too soon . . . imagine our surprise when a quantitative study that Domus developed (and Harris Interactive implemented) revealed that 82% of marketers have some unmet need. The top unmet need is measurement and reporting to define a true ROI for spending, a critical part of all marketers’ jobs. While digital has grown significantly in terms of the marketing mix, 64% of marketers report their company as having “digital dysfunction,” defined as the inability to truly understand digital properties, how they interact together and ultimately how to maximize digital results. Another unmet need: 69% of marketers want outside help in developing new revenue streams to grow their business.
Here’s a link to today’s Wall Street Journal article, which delineates the highlights of the study.
The good news is that most companies have embraced the potential of digital. The bad news? Most of them are dysfunctional in how they are doing it. Whether it’s too many isolated digital programs that don’t connect to each other (or the strategy) … or varying levels of digital understanding and usage rates (with the naive pretending to know more than they do) … or simply a lack of proven methodology to link digital with actual sales (it might be working – no one is sure) – most companies have not tapped into their full digital potential.
