Sounds simple, right? For most enterprise organizations this level of alignment doesn’t come easy.

Watch this webinar to learn how Jorge GarciaSenior Manager of Marketing Technology at Akamai implemented a Crawl-Walk-Run strategy to running marketing, radically changing the way their business makes decisions that impact revenue in just one year, while setting the foundation for a solid progression toward ROI. You’ll learn:

  • How connecting investments to results saves time, increases visibility and enables marketers to make decisions with more agility and confidence
  • The resources and processes it takes to implement a foundational marketing technology and best practices for effective change management
  • How to use martech to lay the foundation for better performance and implement a Crawl, Walk, Run strategy for your own organization
