Executive Summary
In March 2014, Demand Metric collaborated with Pardot/Salesforce to conduct a research study entitled “Marketing Report Card: Keeping our Seat at the Table” to identify how Marketing as a function is being perceived. While many of the insights drawn were expected, there were a few that were shocking.
Only 15% of organizations claimed to have an easy time justifying their marketing budget. Furthermore, just 12% of organizations felt that Marketing is perceived as a highly profitable revenue center, whereas 59% perceive Marketing as a ‘necessary’ or even ‘unnessary’ expense.
This best practices report will discuss how organizations can build a Modern Marketing Center of Excellence (MMCoE), turn these perceptions around, and drive revenue growth.

Business Process Playbook - An introductionRobert Topley
A business process playbook (BPP) provides a central location to document processes, improve process management, and foster a common understanding of processes. It features visual process maps, allows searching by different attributes, and identifies process owners. The BPP also monitors process performance. Maintaining an up-to-date BPP can be challenging and requires organizational buy-in, but it offers benefits like standardized processes, improved training, and a basis for process improvement.
Business architecture is a business driven disciplined process that decomposes the enterprise business goals and strategies, the assets and processes required to execute them as well as identify their impact on business goals. Business architecture provides a blueprint of the enterprise that provides a common understanding of the organisation and is used to align strategic objectives and tactical demands.

De relatie tussen Business- & Informatie Planning en enterprise-architectuurDanny Greefhorst
Business- en Informatie Planning (B&IP) en enterprise-architectuur kunnen niet los van elkaar worden gezien. Enterprise-architectuur zou deel uit moeten maken van een B&IP (of vergelijkbare) aanpak.

Intense competition and slow growth in mature markets have magnified uncertainty and put pressure on costs, just as regulators are escalating their demands. Research shows that CFOs and other senior finance executives believe that their function can play a key role but the ability to impact these challenges depends on levels of maturity and preparedness, which vary widely across companies and industries, as well by sub-functions. Here are the key findings from our research on how enterprises are driving transformation to achieve business impact.
In April 2016, one of EA Learning’s experienced Business Architecture instructors, Judith Oja-Gillam, delivered a webinar to a community of Architects and IT professionals within the IASA network. Judith discussed the discipline of business architecture, its potential value to the business and some of the challenges it looks to address. The approaches discussed are linked closely to the content delivered in EA Learning’s Applied Business Architecture.
This document provides an overview of implementing an effective enterprise architecture program. It begins with some disclaimers about competing perspectives on EA. It then discusses the architecture continuum from enterprise to system level. Key aspects of a successful EA program covered include gaining executive sponsorship, starting small and showing quick wins, formalizing governance processes, and planning for both centralization initially and eventual federation. The presentation emphasizes communicating value and celebrating successes.

The document discusses organizational structures and product management for global marketing. It describes three types of organizational structures - little or no formal organization, international division structure, and global organizational structure. The global structure can be organized by product or geographic area. Product management involves planning, forecasting, and marketing products internationally. Key product characteristics for global marketing include durability, meeting customer requirements, environmental impact, innovation, uniqueness, functionality, culture/context, packaging, and design. Companies must effectively manage their brand portfolio which includes all trademarks applied to products and services.
10 Key Trends That Are Defining the Marketing Organization of The FutureGumGum
We partnered with Brand Innovators to understand what the marketing organization of the future looks like. We asked more than 200 marketers from Fortune 500 brands what they have to say about the focus of their marketing organizations and what they predict the marketing organization of the future will look like. These slides present the top 10 key trends learned from this study.

The State of the Sales & Marketing FunnelDemand Metric
The classic B2B sales and marketing funnel is a model that has served marketers well for decades. An entire ecosystem of job titles, roles, responsibilities and technologies now exists around the funnel. Funnel management has evolved as a science with precise measurements that marketers use to manage and optimize a set of complimentary tools, processes and relationships that have to work in harmony to pull things through the funnel. But whether marketers realize it or not, they’re no longer working with their grandfather’s funnel.
A sustained period of barely perceptible change with the funnel has taken most marketers to an unfamiliar place. Top of funnel performance in the not too distant past was often the worst. It was predictably unreliable, with a chronic shortage of leads to feed the more efficient, demanding and hungry sales process at the bottom. An expansive collection of tools, technologies and solutions has been directed at the funnel’s traditionally weak point – the top – to increase the inflowing leads from a trickle, to a stream to now in many cases, a deluge. While marketers welcome the lead flow, for most it simply moves the problem to another funnel location.
The reality for many marketers is they now have more people interacting with their content. There are ever greater numbers of things to follow-up on, to route, to track and to push through the funnel. Demand Metric, in partnership with MRP, has completed a study about the current state of the funnel. The “funnel flow” survey measured how well leads flow through the sales and marketing funnel. This report shares the data and analysis from this research effort, providing insights on how to optimize the flow of leads through the funnel.
How to design a modern Marketing and Communications department in an agile ma...Paul Cowan
Marketing departments still remain in an old, hierarchical structure with a massive reliance on agencies and vendors to do much of the brand positioning and communications work. This model is inefficient, outdated and removes the IP from the ownership of the company. This document reveal the 3 key issues that are forcing change on how marketing organizations structure and deploy, with a recommended structure and people required in the modern marketing world.
Structuring for success - Developing a dynamic structure for your marketing t...B2B Marketing
With marketing evolving rapidly in response to adoption of emerging digital communication techniques and changing buyer behaviour, it's imperative that the skill set of the marketing function evolves too, to reflect this and to enable the brand to compete effectively in the digital age.
Furthermore, marketing must be able to concisely communicate and report on the value of what they are delivering for the organisation, to all departments and particularly to the board. Fresh from delivering Deloitte's Olympics sponsorship, brand and marketing director Annabel Pritchard will focus on how to build a marketing function that's fit for purpose and structured around delivering clear and measurable business benefits. This session will cover:
•Structuring the team - ensuring a dynamic mix of specialisms across the marketing function
•Managing and nurturing the marketing team - encouraging learning and skills development
•Raising the profile of marketing - reporting value to the Board and championing the value of marketing across the business.
Here are some key responsibilities and skills for a Product Manager vs Product Marketing Manager role:
Product Manager:
- Responsibilities: Define product requirements, ensure product gets developed on time and on budget, own product roadmap/strategy.
- Skills: Strong technical skills, able to understand customer needs and translate to technical requirements, able to manage cross-functional teams.
Product Marketing Manager:
- Responsibilities: Develop product marketing strategy and messaging, generate demand through campaigns, manage product launch.
- Skills: Strong marketing, communications and presentation skills, able to understand customer needs from a non-technical perspective, experience with demand generation and analytics.
The main differences are that the Product Manager role requires more
Modern marketing organizational structure @kaykas - jascha kaykas-wolffJascha Kaykas-Wolff
Organizational design and restructuring is not new. But, with the requirement to create data-driven marketing organizations and support marketers who show bottom line results more emphasis is being placed on marketing leaders to structure their teams and business in a way that is agile and impactful.
Reflecting on this, and doing some additional research of my own, I was struck by the lack of published material describing how one might go about building a marketing organization that addresses business challenges happening right now and most importantly that can drive results right now.
Over the past several years as I’ve been fortunate to lead marketing organizations for enterprise and mid-market businesses. During this time I’ve developed an organizational playbook that can scale to virtually any size of business, is highly adaptable, and has a proven track record for success.
Enclosed is the core framework for what I believe is an ideal composition for the modern marketing organization. I’m looking forward to your feedback. - Jascha

Agile marketing is an optimised approach to people, processes and tools in marketing planning and execution, in response to changing customer behaviour and market trends. It provides a way to add, remove and/or modify marketing targets, strategies and tactics on an ongoing basis. Agile marketing centres on a change in business mind-set from the traditional marketing structure to a more flexible (agile) structure that has been so successful in the information technology industry. It champions data-driven marketing decision making, with an emphasis on value creation from a customer’s perspective. Every member of the agile marketing team must embrace the core values of the agile methodology in order to facilitate this shift in mind-set and support the successful completion of the team’s activities and the achievement of the team’s objectives

Ready For What Happens Next (Direct Marketer)Michael Perry
1) The role of the CMO is changing and needs to take a more operational approach similar to a COO, focusing on metrics like efficiency and customer behavior rather than just traditional marketing metrics.
2) Traditional marketing metrics like ROI only measure past performance and don't help predict how customers will react to changing market conditions.
3) To be ready for unexpected events, CMOs need to develop new analytics that examine how marketing campaigns impact other business units and drive continuous growth, and help understand which customer segments will be impacted most.

Attendees are encouraged to establish efficiency as a first step to gaining a competitive advantage.
The document discusses strategies for transforming global sales organizations. It recommends combining a sales operating model with sales acceleration techniques like "win rooms" to drive sustainable impact. An effective sales operating model defines the right interaction types, meeting cadence, performance management, and coaching framework. Sales coaching should focus on skills, deals, and pipelines rather than just reporting. When balancing HQ and local involvement, organizations must consider time, ambition, control, and ensure a focus on business impact and improved behaviors at the frontline. Transformations work best when built around a clear impact case and when sales managers install coaching behaviors to drive performance.

It has been said that “All Marketing is Digital Marketing.” And with good reason! In the last decade (or less), the marketing environment has been transformed.
Marketing has moved from an environment in which traditional marketing, brick and mortar storefronts and Digital Marketing options all competed for the time, attention and resources of the marketing department to one in which Digital Marketing reigns supreme – with an occasional nod in the direction of the storefront, or traditional marketing (direct mail, print advertising, etc.)
One of the biggest challenges of Digital Marketing is the speed of which it has taken over the marketing organization, often in an ad hoc, uncoordinated fashion.
Demand Metric’s research has consistently shown that Digital Marketing has a very significant and positive impact on the organizations that are employing it when they do so by following best practices and processes in a coordinated, holistic approach.
In this Best Practices Report on Digital Marketing we will cover the Digital Marketing landscape in five distinct categories - Content Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Mobile Marketing, Video Marketing and Public Relations

SEO is no longer just about search.
In fact, SEO, which in its early days focused primarily on keywords
(finding, optimizing, ranking), is now a baseline factor of a broader Internet
Marketing strategy across the Enterprise.
This new SEO-driven market segment that has been called Web
Presence Management (WPM) is based on the reality that keywords no
longer drive search results, but rather optimized content does.
As the SEO market matures, quality measures, such as reputation, trust,
content relevance and author authority, are replacing the old quantity
metrics, such as keyword rankings and link volume.
Advanced SEO solutions now weigh campaign performance metrics
(based on brand building, site traffic and conversion) more heavily than
keyword rankings.
This reality is based on changes in the way customers search, the
increasingly integrated omni-channel marketing environment and,
most notably, changes to Google’s Search Engine Results Page (SERP)
algorithms that favor page content freshness, density and content-rich
media over standard keyword search.
All of this means that Modern Marketing Organizations (MMOs) must
re-evaluate their SEO strategies, processes and campaigns.
In this report we will examine the state of the market, share results from the
SEO Benchmark Study, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of 15 top
SEO solutions in our vendor landscape to help organizations choose the
best solution for them, highlight the current trends in SEO that will have an
impact on Enterprise SEO initiatives and provide some recommendations
for the way forward as SEO is redefined right before our eyes.
Demand Metric defines Search Engine Optimization Platforms
as those frameworks, tools and technologies that use searchrelated
functionally to secure high visibility and web presence
for brands, products, services and companies through the use
and management of elements, such as keywords, links, content
relevance and social signals tracking.
In its fourth year, this report on video marketing metrics highlights best practices including video hosting to how video viewing integrates with the sales funnel.

1) Undefined - No defined PR strategy or processes, relying on sporadic press releases.
2) Progressive - Focus shifts to building media relationships and trial-and-error strategy development.
3) Mature - Sustainable strategy produces consistent results, and PR is recognized as important.
4) World-Class - PR is a critical success strategy with advanced metrics and executive support.

Entering the European Market Successfully How-To GuideDemand Metric
Executive Summary
Leaving your domestic comfort zone to operate in another country or even continent requires careful planning. Expanding into new geographical markets is very exciting, but also very nerve-wracking. Any firm considering entering into international business transactions must understand that doing business abroad is not a simple task. It is stimulating and potentially profitable in the long-term but requires much preparation and research prior to the first transaction.
Europe is probably the most heterogeneous continent on our globe, making understanding market potential more challenging than in more homogeneous markets. Because of the European Union, it’s tempting to view Europe as a single market. In reality, you must consider each country as a market, because each country has a different mix of history, culture, language and business etiquette.
This How-To Guide will describe the steps required to successfully expand into the European market.

Driving SEO with Press Releases How-To GuideDemand Metric
This How To Guide will explain how press releases can boost SEO efforts, how to write press releases for SEO, the pros and cons of doing so and conclude with an action plan on using press releases in your SEO efforts.
For decades, press releases were the basic building blocks of a public relations strategy. A company that wanted press coverage would write and issue a press release. The more skilled the company was at media relations, the better this strategy worked. Press releases still serve this purpose, although a new and important use of press releases has evolved as a tool for Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
For companies whose websites are key to revenue generation, the SEO benefits are the primary motivation for writing and issuing press releases. If releases also produce favorable media coverage, that’s viewed as a bonus. The benefits of this SEO strategy result from the links a press release can produce back to the issuer’s website. These links are known as backlinks. The more external, authentic backlinks a website has pointing to it, the higher it ranks on a Search Engine Results Page (SERP). While this strategy is conceptually simple to grasp, executing it effectively requires some insider knowledge of both media relations and SEO.

Calculating Customer Lifetime Value How-To GuideDemand Metric
Executive Summary
This How-To Guide details the definition of customer lifetime value (CLV), the advantages of calculating CLV and the standard formula for calculating CLV.
Common sense tells us that the longer a customer is in relationship with a company, the more profitable that customer relationship is. However, many companies put the emphasis on new customer acquisition and not enough effort is made to retain existing customers. This is a mistake, because the financial impact of retaining customers is substantial: companies can increase profits by as much as 100% by retaining just 5% more of their customers. For these reasons, CLV is a crucial metric that most organizations overlook mainly because its definition and purpose are not entirely known. Understanding the monetary value each customer represents to your organization can help you budget correctly for your business needs, strategically plan your marketing initiatives and improve long-term relationships with your customer base.

Lead Scoring: Five Steps to Getting Started How-To GuideDemand Metric
Executive Summary
This How-To Guide will help marketers score leads by showing how to set up a simple lead scoring system and then refine it over time.
Lead scoring applies mathematical formulas to rank potential customers. It is chiefly used to identify prospects that are ready for direct sales contact. Because the calculations are automatic, the scores are consistent, current, and can include more variables than any manual assessment. This saves marketers work, ensures that all qualified leads are sent to sales promptly, and keeps non-qualified leads out of the sales system.

Executive Summary
This How-To Guide will explain the components of a Marketing Resource Management (MRM) system, provide an action plan for deployment, and conclude with a plan for implementation.
Marketing Resource Management (MRM) systems control the administrative processes that support customer-facing marketing programs. This distinguishes MRM from marketing execution systems that store customer databases and deliver marketing messages through email, Web ads, and other channels. MRM may be sold independently or as a component of comprehensive marketing management systems which also provides execution.
MRM functions fall into two primary clusters. The first involves functions related to company-level marketing management, including program planning, scheduling, budgeting, and cost reporting. The other cluster relates to program management, including task lists, purchasing media and materials, and content creation, approvals, storage, and distribution. Some MRM systems specialize in a few of these functions. Others specialize in additional functions such as customizing content for local offices or dealers or in marketing reporting and analysis. Systems may also be tailored to specific industries or companies of a certain size.
Companies buy MRM systems when their marketing programs become too complicated to run in a less systematic fashion. This, along with the systems’ high cost, originally meant that MRM was used almost exclusively by large marketing organizations with hundreds of marketers in multiple offices. More recently, the growth of digital marketing has meant that even small marketing organizations need to manage many different programs and content versions across multiple channels, and to introduce new versions more quickly. This expanded complexity has rarely been accompanied by a corresponding expansion of staff, adding to the pressure for more efficient operations. At the same time, costs have decreased as MRM capabilities were added to integrated marketing suites and as stand-alone MRM products became available as vendor-hosted services (Software as a Service, or SaaS). The result has been increased use of MRM systems among companies of all sizes.

Table” to identify how Marketing as a function is being perceived. While many of the insights drawn were expected, there were a few that were shocking.
Only 15% of organizations claimed to have an easy time justifying their marketing budget. Furthermore, just 12% of organizations felt that Marketing is
perceived as a highly profitable revenue center, whereas 59% perceive Marketing as a ‘necessary’ or even ‘unnessary’ expense. This best practices report
will discuss how organizations can build a Modern Marketing Center of Excellence (MMCoE)

, turn these perceptions around, and drive revenue growth.

5. HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR MARKETING MATURITY
Step 2 – Conduct a Self-Assessment
Once you have studied the maturity model, take 15 minutes to refine
your focus and identify your strengths and areas for improvement by
using Demand Metric’s free World Class Marketing Assessment. This
self-assessment is a 67 point diagnostic tool that will highlight your
capabilities and provide you with a benchmark to measure your
improvement over time.
Step 1 – Determine Your Current Level of Maturity
There are four stages of organizational maturity as it relates to Modern
Marketing. These stages of maturity are:
1. Cost-Center: Marketing is largely a sales support function with no
executive leadership. Marketing department viewed as a cost-center
with no ability to demonstrate its contribution to revenue.
2. Revenue Neutral: Marketing is focused on Lead Generation, Events
and Communications. Marketing & Sales work together to define
lead quality and track operational metrics such as # impressions or #
click-thrus but Marketing still viewed as a cost-center.
3. Revenue Contributor: Marketing tracks metrics such as Cost Per
Lead, Cost Per Opportunity but does not have a ability to clearly
demonstrate direct contribution to revenue.
4. Profit Center: Marketing viewed as a strategic enabler of scalable,
predictable revenue. Metrics include Customer Lifetime Value,
Return on Marketing Investment (ROMI) and Cost of Acquisition.
Marketing is part of senior leadership and is highly respected. Fig. 4 World Class Marketing Assessment

6. HOW TO WORK THE MODERN MARKETING MATURITY MODEL
The final step is to set realistic goals for improvement in each key area.
Then, gather resources, train your staff, get expert advice, and identify
other creative ways to meet your improvement goals.
Step 4 – Improve Capabilities and Re-Assess
Over the next 6-12 months, use the Modern Marketing Maturity Model,
World Class Marketing Assessment, and Prioritization Tool as your
blueprint for implementing your performance and productivity plans.
You may need to implement new technology systems to help you execute
and measure your activities more accurately, standardize your key
Marketing processes, or augment your organization’s skill set by adding
additional staff or contractors.
This is essentially how a Center of Excellence operates: assess, prioritize,
improve, re-assess. After you have worked the process for at least 6
months, re-assess your organization using the World Class Marketing
Assessment to demonstrate a measurable improvement to your
capabilities and gain more support for your Modern Marketing Center
of Excellence (MMCoE)
TM
.
Step 3 – Set Incremental Goals for Improvement
If you have completed the assessment, you will now have a report card
with benchmarks for your current capabilities across the 8 key functions
required to have a Modern Marketing Center of Excellence (MMCoE)
TM
.
The next step in the process is to prioritize which areas of improvement
will have the most immediate impact on your organization. You can use
Demand Metric’s Prioritization Tool (no charge to downoad) to logically
rank each initiative and get a visual output of your results.

8. BENEFITS OF A MMCoE TO THE ORGANIZATION
Practical Growth: Building a Modern Marketing Center of Excellence (MMCoE)
Why Build a Center of Excellence (CoE)?
Executives at Forrester, Gartner and Accenture go on record to state that
when organizations implement Business Process Management (BPM)
initatives to improve their core operations and processes, they have
much more success when they couple them with the creation of a
Center of Excellence (CoE).
Connie Moore, VP at Forrester Research states:
“We have found a correlation between centers
of excellence and BPM success.”
The oppposite is also true, Moore goes on to state that: “BPM failures
often go hand-in-hand with the lack of a CoE… It's hard to over-
emphasize the importance of putting your core business process
improvement skills in a central group.”
In a Forrester survey, 67% of respondents who reported receiving clear
and measurable benefits from their BPM initiatives had formal CoEs.
For those who reported BPM failures, only 14% had CoEs in place.
Forrester isn't alone in evangelizing the value of CoEs.
A recent Gartner research report states bluntly that organizations without
such cross-functional centers “will find that their efforts do not deliver
the promised results, and their BPM initiatives will subsequently be
disbanded.” Fully 50% of BPM projects conducted without CoE
support go belly-up, according to Gartner.
Asim Akram, senior manager of Accenture's Process Architecture Group,
describes the CoE as an important bridge between short-term projects
and taking a long-term and more strategic approach to BPM.
In a recent article, Akram states:
“While focusing on tactical needs, organizations tend
to overlook areas such as process ownership and
governance, roles and responsibilities, service levels
and standards that should be associated with any
process initiatives.” 8

13. Key Function #2 - Product Management
While it’s a myth that over 80% of product launches fail, the Product Development
Institute (PDI) found that top performing organizations have a failure rate of 38%
while bottom performers fail 55% of the time*. Having your entire product
management team operating from the same proven methodology can be the
difference between a successful launch or a costly failure.

our Market Research Capabilities Assessment and our fundamentals-based
Product Development Assessment.

14. Key Function #3 - Digital Marketing
Demand Metric surveyed over 600 organizations and found that only 22% of
organizations are creating 'advanced' digital experiences. For organizations whose
digital marketing sophistication is ‘advanced’, 83% are also experiencing revenue
growth*. This means that digital experiences have a significant impact on revenue
growth, but 78% of organizations are struggling to create them.

Best Practices Report to discover how top organizations operate. Also,

15. Key Function #4 - Demand Generation
In our Lead Generation benchmark study, we found that just 9% of companies
report having a highly effective lead generation process and 58% of participants
say their process doesn’t produce enough leads. Also, 52% of companies don’t
have an effective definition or standard for a ‘lead’ that is agreed on by Sales &
Marketing*. From this data we can see that lead generation is one of the greatest
points of friction between the Sales and Marketing team.
These resources will help you improve your lead generation process:
§ Assessment: take our Lead Generation Maturity Assessment to understand
your current strengths & weakness and identify areas to improve. Read our
Marketing Automation Solution Study to get up to speed on the market.

Key Function #5 - Sales Enablement
A recent Demand Metric study revealed that 72% of sales and marketing
professionals agree that there is an immediate loss of revenue after a bad sales
meeting*. For 70% of organizations in this study, the recovery from a bad sales
interaction can take from a few months to a few years. The biggest predictor of bad
sales meetings was the failure of the marketing team to perform.
Following are resources to help you drive revenue with better sales enablement:
§ Best Practices: review our Sales Enablement Framework, Maturity Model and
Best Practices Report to discover how top organizations enable Sales.
§ Benchmark Reports: compare yourself with peers by reading our reports on

In our Content & The Buyer’s Journey study we found that the most frequently

create enough opportunities for interaction and engagement”, experienced by
58% of study participants. Companies need to look beyond their content
marketing efforts to effectively engage their customers.

§ Assessment: take our Customer Experience Management Assessment to
understand your current strengths & weakness and identify areas to improve.

18. Best Practices Report
Thank you for taking the time to review this report.
Demand Metric understands that consulting firms, industry analyst firms, and training firms do not provide a cost-effective method for
delivering high-quality research, tools, training and advice at scale. These firms charge hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to tackle
Marketing effectiveness improvement projects. We don’t operate that way; it just doesn’t drive enough value.
Instead, our business & pricing model is more akin to the SaaS model, and many of our clients pay just a few hundred dollars a month to
access our vast library of 1,000+ practical resources, and tap into our expert Analysts and Consultants for help on their projects.
Our mission is to empower Marketing organizations by conducting research on how top performing companies operate and then build
extremely practical tools, templates, and training to help our clients ‘operationalize’ the Best Practices we identify in our research.
If you give us the opportunity to explain how our business model works, we are confident you will see how we can deliver so much value at
such a low price point. If you’re tired of paying ridiculous fees to consulting, analyst and training firms, give us a chance to earn your business.
We look forward to learning more about your current marketing challenges and strategic objectives, and demonstrating how we are helping
our 50,000+ member community and 1,000+ global clients implement Modern Marketing Centers of Excellence (MMCoE) to improve their
operational effectiveness and efficiency, and, most importantly, drive a measurable contribution to revenue growth.
Cheers,
Jesse Hopps, Founder & CEO at Demand Metric

CEO, and staffed by fantastic people. ....If you are looking to solve a business problem or find other experts that can
help, then Demand Metric is your place to go!” – CMO at Continuum, former VP Marketing at HubSpot
"I've used Demand Metric for several projects, since 2008.... (they) are always responsive, creative and solutions-
oriented. The analysts are great to work with and offer a plethora of ideas and information! I've used several of the
product and marketing tool sets and find them to be essential in defining a solid product management methodology that
fits in with any corporate audit and compliance framework.” - SVP Product Management, Cadence Bank
Demand Metric gives me that confidence because I can trust they know today's marketing challenges and are current on
all the innovations. Their analysts know marketing cold, and have always been attentive to detail and extremely
responsive and creative. I speak to 50-70 companies representing themselves a year, and maybe 5 to 10% have the
clients interest at heart. Demand Metric was in that 5%. I highly recommend Demand Metric for their knowledge of
marketing services. – SVP Marketing, Vree Health
