‘Brace Yourself. 2017 Is Coming’ – Forrester Blogs
Shar VanBoskirk says, “Check out our Predictions 2017: The Post-Digital CMO Appears piece that just went live this morning.
We can’t help but think CMOs feel a great deal of empathy for the characters in, Game of Thrones. Westeros is a cutthroat environment riddled with cunning strategy, but also a profound amount of character turnover, shall we say. Marketing is no less strategic, what with digital disruption, an evolving customer base, and brand strategy calculus also creating drama and departures.
So in 2017, what will smart CMOs do to survive until 2018? CMOs must demonstrate their brands’ promises everywhere. Specifically: evolve their brand and CX strategies to close the distance between brands. We expect that:
Brands will go Post Digital. To customers, there are no longer boundaries between the digital and the physical worlds. CMOs who get this will work to connect with customers emotionally, create one-to-moment, personalized interactions, and stress a human, helpful, and handy charter as the guiding principles of their marketing efforts”.
