What makes up marketing? Based on their work with customers, marketing experts have long considered marketing to be a combination of many different elements, including the 4Ps (Product, Price, Place, Promotion).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3C (Customers, Competitors, Corporation). However, today, marketing is no longer that simple. Going beyond 4P and 3C, the 5T factor has appeared with the desire to form the most complete marketing model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief marketing officers (CMOs) of many companies today are facing both unprecedented business opportunities and challenges:
\u2013 Marketing Accountability: It\u2019s no secret that more and more CEOs are demanding positive and tangible marketing results. As a result, many CMOs are coming up with new solutions to ensure the marketing function is accountable and measurable.
\u2013 Globalization: Serving global markets requires coordinated intercontinental marketing campaigns that unify messages, yet these campaigns must respond to local needs and customs.
\u2013 Complex consumer expectations: Users are increasingly cautious and wary of privacy and spam. Compliance with market and country regulations is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 New Marketing Technologies: The advent of new internet technologies has dramatically increased the ways in which companies can communicate with customers in unprecedented ways. This opens up opportunities for companies to target and reach customers in personalized ways. However, new technologies must be implemented and integrated globally with regional marketing teams executing local campaigns.
\u2013 Cross-functional collaboration: Coordinating with multiple regional marketing teams, product business units, and sales is a critical task. Processes need to be prioritized and facilitate new product introductions or customer satisfaction within a limited marketing budget. Terms such as \u201cWhat constitutes a quality customer?\u201d need to be standardized globally.
