Marketing is accountable for sales and revenue — but can you prove the ROI of social and content?
If you can’t, you’re not alone. According to The CMO Survey, social media spending is expected to climb to a 20.9 percent share of marketing budgets in the next five years. But few marketers can justify these escalating investments; only one in five marketing executives can prove the business impact of social media quantitatively.
A blind faith approach to investments in social media is more than just risky; it’s eroding marketing’s reputation in the C-suite. According to The Fournaise Group, 90 percent of CEOs “trust and value” work done by CFOs and CTOs.
But CMOs? Eighty percent of CEOs admit they “don’t trust / aren’t impressed” by work done by marketers.
This trust gap comes down to accountability. Too many CEOs view marketing departments as a cost center, not a business driver.
To change this perception, the pressure is on to prove that marketing activities move the needle. From the leadership level on down, every member of the marketing team needs the ability to tie actions to business impact. And for far too long, the social media and content marketing function has been left out in the cold.
