The Era of the “Modern Marketer”


Modern Marketing is Happening NOW

Marketing must provide the

“glue” binding different parts

of the company around the

brand promise – and embrace

five key responsibilities:

Represent the voice of the

market

Synchronize the customer

experience across all channels

Be the brand steward

Capitalize on insights

Be an integrator and force

multiplier across the company

Modern Marketing Insights & Key Requirements

Marketing’s Shifting Priorities Fundamental Changes in Marketing

Key Drivers

• Buyer Behavior: More prospect interaction is occurring

online, shortening the actual time for sales engagement;

the need for a digital relationship has never been more

urgent

• Marketing Measurement: The global economic crisis

forced marketing to become more measurable,

integrated, and accountable Source: SiriusDecisions

Key Elements of “Modern Marketing”

The “New” Buyer’s Journey Unites and Aligns

Sales and Marketing

How this is different: No implicit hand-offs

between sales and

marketing

Majority of exploration done

on-line before talking to a

sales rep

requirements – importance

of mobile-ready content

“Marketing funnel”

What is Digital Marketing? Why is it important?

Digital marketing is the endorsement

of goods, services, and company

brands through online media channels

(Marketo)

Digital marketing is an umbrella term

for the marketing of products or

services using digital technologies,

mainly on the Internet, but also

including mobile phones, display

advertising, and any other digital

medium (Wikipedia)

Why it is important: Today’s

consumers are multi-device and

multi-channel, doing the majority of

their own research online before they

even step foot into a store or speak

to a sales person (Marketo)


Digital Marketing is becoming “Marketing”

The “Secret Sauce” Understanding Buyers Personas

Defining buyer personas helps drive customer-centric innovation and go-to-market strategy

Understand both New and Understood Buyer Personas and develop insights

that drive and inform other activities, including messaging development,

campaign design, content strategy and defining market requirements for

product/solutions innovation


The Importance of Story Telling

Good storytelling helps cut though the

clutter and overload of information

Storytelling is classic “showing” rather

than “telling” and has a personal

element to it that is linked to the

persona of the target audience

You tell the audience the story you want

them to hear – not relying upon them to

piece together the elements of the story

You build a narrative told by you in a

coherent and compelling narrative

Use the “Pixar format” – a setup, a

challenge and a resolution

SAP Programs Model IDC Buyers Journey Forrester Customer Life

Cycle

Thought Leadership is great storytelling

delivered across the buyers journey and

customer lifecycle w/ focus early on and

mostly in a digital and/or off-line format

Updated 7-11-16

Definition: A thought

leader is an individual or

firm that is recognized as

an authority in a

specialized field and

whose expertise is sought

and often rewarded

Timing: Tied to the

awareness and

consideration phase of the

Buyer’s Journey and

(sometimes) pre-demand

generation and always

before purchase phase

Format: Usually Before a

prospect or customer

engages a sales person,

and often digital in format

Thought Leadership maturity varies from

organization to organization and is dynamic and

consistently evolving; SAP is on the upper-end

of Thought Leadership maturity in our industry

along with IBM, CISCO, and others

Innovation Adoption

& Digital Transformation


Business & Market Context:

The Pace of Change is Accelerating


Innovation Adoption 101:

The Model & Segmentation

Innovation Adoption:

A model that classifies

adopters of innovations

based on their level of

readiness to accept

new ideas

Innovative adoption

characteristics are

assigned to groups --

all innovations go

through a predictable

process before

becoming widely

adopted.

The groups consist of

early adopters, early

majority, late majority,

and laggards

“Crossing the chasm”

Early adopters achieve:

+9% revenue creation

+26% impact to profitability,

+12% market valuation


Innovation Adoption 101:

Time to Innovation Adoption

Source: Rogers, Moore, McKinsey

Inflection point

(curve begins to

slow) = point of

“critical mass”

Key -- get there

quickly, whether

users or product

volume, etc

Failure to “cross the

chasm” (Geoffrey

Moore) or reach

critical mass =

doomed to a

smaller, sub-optimal

market and much

smaller market

share

Source: “No ordinary disruption”, McKinsey, May 2015


The Hype Cycle:

Riding the “roller coaster” of innovation

The hype cycle is a branded

graphical presentation

developed and used by

American information

technology (IT) research and

advisory firm Gartner for

representing the maturity,

adoption and social application

of specific technologies.

The hype cycle provides a

graphical and conceptual

presentation of the maturity

emerging technologies through

five phases

Why Do We Need to Respond to New Technology and Innovations?

Bill McDermottSAP CEO

May 2015

"Innovation has created a

digital economy and

digitization is affecting all

businesses and all industries.

So how do you make this

transition to digital? Simple.

Every business in here today is

in a state of transformation”.

Social Media and Digital Transformation

Metcalfe’s Law: the value of a

network is proportional to the square

of the number of connected users (a

network’s value grows exponentially)

A variation Reed’s Law speaks

specifically to the utility obtained

from scaling social networks

Pull versus Push

Best Practices: Learn, Observe,

Listen, Jump in and Actively

Participate

Blurs the line between work and

private life, get used to it, it’s not

going away!

marketing budgets and is expected to grow
