CIM (2007) Tomorrow’s word: re-evaluating the role of marketing. Shape the agenda, Number 12, 33 pages.

http://www.cim.co.uk/files/tomorrowsword.pdf

Executive Summary

What’s the role of marketing? It seems an obvious question, but choosing one answer is elusive and likely to be incomplete. As the profession has become more diverse, the balance of power has shifted in favour of the

customer, who now has more control of the relationship than ever before thanks to technology. As the role of the

customer has altered, so too the role of marketing needs to change in response.

Marketing has become more sophisticated – and yet its status with the customer and the rest of business has never been lower. Complicating this is an increasing divide between the thoughts of academics and the

experiences of practitioners. To address this, The Chartered Institute of Marketing wants to open up the debate about what the role of marketing should be, and how it can move forward as a profession.

One proposal is to sub-divide marketing into specialisms. This would enable marketers to become experts in their field, rather than being expected to be all-rounders and then criticised for not understanding a particular part of

the business. We also want to reconsider The Chartered Institute of Marketing’s definition of marketing. The

current definition – ‘the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer requirements profitably’ – is 30 years old and we propose that it is no longer fit for purpose. Tomorrow’s Word offers a new definition that places value from customer-centricity at the heart of marketing, whilst acknowledging the increasing relevance of marketing for not for- profit and public sector organisations.

CIM (2011) Marketing and sales fusion. White Paper, 25 pages.

http://www.cim.co.uk/files/msfusion.pdf

Summary

Sales and marketing belong together. Organisations that create closer links between them post better results,

have more effective inter-departmental relationships and create positive culture change. The challenges to this vision are significant, marketing as a discipline has its roots in sales but over time the two have become separated

and sometimes estranged. Our white paper on marketing and sales fusion addresses questions of ownership, the practicalities of how sales and marketing departments can operate together, and offers best practice examples

from companies working successfully to integrate the two disciplines.

CIM/Accenture (2009) In search of a strategic role for marketing: leading, influencing or supporting. Cookham,

The Chartered Institute of Marketing. 72 Pages.

Summary

Marketing organisation design is by no means a simple subject. Nor is there a ‘silver bullet’ one could unearth or stake a claim upon. Reviews of marketing structure, leadership and community management bring with them

uncertainty, challenges and complications. They are, however, frequent – over two thirds of participants in this

study alone, had reorganised within the last 24 months. http://www.cim.co.uk/files/thefilestore/R0154408.pdf

CIM (2010) Don’t stop me now: marketing in central government. White paper. http://www.cim.co.uk/Files/dontstopmenow.pdf

This white paper discussed the macro environmental challenges facing the UK government and the marketing response. How marketing can change perceptions and change behaviour for the public good.

CIM (2008) The real NHS: the benefits of a marketing approach. White paper. http://www.cim.co.uk/Files/therealnhs.pdf

Summary

By focusing on patient needs, marketing can help change the orientation of the NHS away from a process or

operations approach, to one that places patients at the centre of its activities. Some NHS staff may perceive marketing as just 'spin' or advertising, but it can play a far more strategic role within the NHS and help deliver real benefits for both patients and staff.
