A Marketer's Key to Success in the Uncertainty of 2023

Marketing professionals are being challenged in big ways this year...

1. Oversubscribed and at the risk of tuning out, audiences have higher expectations. This drives marketers to constantly improve their interactions.
2. Rising expenses and more scrutinized budgets are causing marketers to navigate through economic uncertainty
3. There is more pressure on marketers than ever to prove the value of their marketing efforts and drive revenue. There's a lot of pressure on marketers to produce the same or better results than ever while having fewer resources, and that's making it harder to fund projects, especially new technology projects.

Marketing must be prudent in 2023, and directly demonstrate ROI for businesses.

This leaves businesses with 3 options:

1. Invest less in marketing
2. Stress out and initiate a paid point solution for the short-term
3. Focus on long-term growth by investing in new marketing efforts that are strategic and thoughtful.?

Which one would you go for?

• If you choose option one, you might lose market share to your competitors.
• option two exacerbates your problem by adding more disconnected data and additional costs to your tech stack.

The third option, however, can be a sustainable growth path if handled correctly. For businesses to do this right, they need to understand:

1. What role marketing plays in their revenue generation
2. Lead value quantification and shortening the sales cycle
