Conductor’s survey of 387 marketing executives gives us a rare glimpse into how business leaders plan to succeed in 2017. The research reveals the channels that executives are most focused on, with Organic search notably taking both the #1 and #2 spots as top priorities in 2017.
This study also reveals a troubling trend: that while marketing executives will invest more in technology to accomplish their goals, the majority of marketing executives report they are “overwhelmed” by their data and struggle to find insight efficiently.
