The Big Disconnect: How to fix Marketing Planning

“Where’s the current version of the marketing plan??”

Forrester reports massive investments in martech and marketing operations, yet CMOs still run the business of marketing in a fog. Plans scattered across disconnected spreadsheets and PowerPoints create havoc for global marketing teams: over- and under-spending, misalignment, poor collaboration, and missed opportunities. Learn how a marketing planning system of record will improve your visibility, velocity, and agility and unequivocally prove marketing’s impact to the business.
