With marketing analytics now influencing more than half (53%) of marketing decisions, there’s finally some good information around using data in marketing. In fact, Gartner found that when analytics influences less than 50% of decisions, organizations find it challenging to prove the value of their marketing.
With more scrutiny, tighter budgets, and the looming shadow of layoffs, this burden of proof for marketers has never been higher — or more critical. With such powerful motivation, what is holding back a higher level of analytics adoption to drive decisions? According to the same Gartner survey, respondents cited data inconsistency across sources and difficulty accessing data as two key factors. People — including the skills gap due to a lack of data literacy — and process problems also made the list.
Building opportunity with the modern marketing data stack
The solution to overcoming these barriers lies in the modern marketing data stack. It’s an issue so critical that Snowflake, the Data Cloud company, has developed an annual report that provides practical guidance to their customers who are looking to convert marketing analytics challenges into marketing opportunities.
