DESCRIPTION
Marketing is becoming a technology-powered discipline, from the front-facing technologies we use to engage with prospects and customers in a digital world to the back-office technologies we use for a new generation of marketing operations. These technologies have tremendous potential to increase marketing's capabilities and value to the organization — but they require us to embrace technology strategy and management as a more integral part of the marketing function. This slide deck will give you an overview of these new dynamics and help you forge a plan for moving forward in this brave, new world.

— not the technologyyou might want or wish
to have.”

organizations change logarithmically
technology management is deciding which

Develop marketing staff who think like “product owners” more than marketing managers. A “product” might be anything that customers interact with — for instance, a website.

Customer experience is your brand.
But what are experiences made from?

Marketing is not ERP.
We don’t control the environment.
We don’t control the customer.
We want to be differentiated.
Platform strategies are starting to emerge in
marketing automation.

A Golden Age of Marketing Software
Software is how marketing “sees” and “touches” customers
in a digital world.
Analytics shapes perceptions.
Automation guides processes.
Optimization hones tactics.
Listening directs engagement.
Targeting defines segments.
CRM structures relationships.
“He who controls the spice, controls
the universe.”
“He (or she) who controls the software, controls the marketing.”
The King Solomon Marketing/Technology Split
We want marketers who are also techy-savvy (and vice versa).
Marketing technologists.Growth hackers.
Digital strategists.Marketing operations.
Data scientists.Marketing nerds.

Technology must become a part of marketing’s DNA.
21% of CEOs think technical expertise is a top 3 CMO skill.

This is known as waterfall project management.
Traditional marketing management followed a relatively well-structured, staged yearly plan.
It’s a predictive approach to management.
Going back up the waterfall is not
pleasant.
That is a dead marketing plan.
Agile marketing is an approach for adaptive marketing management.
Derived from agile software development methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban.

The elements of agile marketing:

Write down tasks or “stories along the buyer’s journey.”
Prioritize them.
This is your backlog.

This is your task board.
To Do In Progress Done
The team takes a set of tasks—in order—that they will commit to completing in this sprint.
Sprint
To Do In Progress Done
Kanban limits work in progress.
During the sprint, team members take on tasks in order of priority.
Work “in progress” is easy to see.
1 day
Daily Stand-up
Every day, the team meets for a 15-minute stand-up.
1. What did I do yesterday?
2. What am I going to do today?
3. Are there any impediments holding me back?
Each person on the team answers three questions:
Sprint
Sprint Review
To Do In Progress Done
At the end of the sprint, the team conducts a review of the work completed.
This is a good time todemo and report on progress to management.
Often inspires new tasks to be added to the backlog.
Sprint Retrospective
The team also does a retrospective meeting — not about the work, but about the process and their interactions:
What went well?
What could have been better?
What should we try next time?
The agile cycle continues…
vs.
Agile marketing isn’t about workingfaster.
One Long Cycle
Multiple Short Cycles
It’s working in a more incremental and iterative fashion — to have more flexibility to adapt to feedback and changes.

So back to that epic collision…
Don’t think of it as the end of the dinosaurs (it is).
Think of it as the rise of the modern marketer.
