A great many companies continue using market research institutes that collect data through extended surveys in order to evaluate their websites. Every quarter, a bulky power point presentation then puts forward the collected data and analyses mishaps and improvement actions.

The relationship between the sales and marketing departments naturally varies from organization to organization. But at its core, the relationship is meant to be a new-business-creating one-two punch. Marketing builds up relationships with a wide base of potential clients, while sales converts those relationships into paying customers. This is clearly a massive oversimplification of the buyer’s journey, but it at least illustrates one important fact: These two departments need to work in concert if they have any hope of creating a sustainable customer pipeline. Good content can go a long way toward making that a reality.

If you’re a business owner and it isn’t clear to you that the customer’s voice is the most important voice to hear, you’ve been living under a rock.
Now, more than ever, customers expect their needs to be met, and they expect their feedback to be addressed right here, right now. Now that social media has made it easier than ever to spread “word of mouth” commentary about a business’s performance, business leaders need to be acutely aware of what their customers are saying about their brands, while also being able to act upon that feedback in a timely, efficient and satisfactory manner.

As a nascent marketer, I misjudged how crucial feedback was to success. But when I was promoted to head a marketing and communications team, that lack of appreciation for feedback slowly eroded my team’s functionality. While I had a leadership philosophy founded on open communication, I underestimated how intentional and vigilant I needed to be.
But a few months into my then new role, an employee informed me things were not operating as smoothly as they once had. I was shocked! Weren’t we producing exceptional campaigns? Weren’t we meeting deadlines and making revenue goals?

Data management platforms, or DMPs (which is ‘agnostic’ and plugs and plays with any system) allow marketers to personalise at scale, with the flexibility they need: they can orchestrate messages in real-time across any platform, from a cutting edge smartwatch to an ancient CRM system.
