In recent years, marketing has evolved from a discrete, isolated activity, to a key organisational imperative. This evolution - from casual task to core function - has brought about new, complex challenges for the marketer.
As well as mastering the practice of marketing, a successful marketing function must now undertake additional duties. It must justify its own existence, by demonstrating why and how it delivers results. It must interact with and integrate within the wider organisation, ensuring that marketing activity remains valued and respected as a legitimate function. And it must affect change throughout the organisation, so that effective marketing strategies can be enacted and corporate objectives can be met.
And for once, such grandiose ambitions are not exclusively reserved for bigger marketing departments. The lone marketer and large marketing function alike has an equal opportunity to affect change across an organisation that results not only in a better, more integrated marketing function, but also improved organisational performance and success.
So, how do you capitalise on these new challenges and opportunities for the good of your business and your customers? Our Top Tips offer five steps which, if enacted together, can lead to a truly integrated and customer-focussed marketing function.
