The marketing silos are coming down. In the past, different marketing employees performed separate tasks within an organization. These siloed functions could include media buying, CRM, and organic social, for example, and their paths may have never crossed. Add multiple external vendors and tools to the mix, and you can see how difficult it was for managers to have a clear, unified picture of how their entire marketing ecosystem was performing.
But as we enter the age of people-based marketing, the need for cohesion has never been more apparent. This stems from shoppers’ journeys becoming increasingly complex. Organizations today need to understand how consumers browse and buy from start to finish, whether it be on desktop, via mobile, in-person, or a combination of all three, and cater marketing efforts appropriately.
