In the Marketing Studio this week, Jeff Clark and Ian Truscott dust down their Five F’in Fundamentals of Good Budget Planning and discuss some fresh research(shared on LinkedIn) from Mike Raimondi of B2B Market Calc.
They discuss:
// Benchmark Your Budget vs. Peers
// Separate program expenses into Campaigns vs. Shared Services
// Find your path to ROI (past and future)
// Determine if you have the right budget allocation mode
// Identify the best opportunities to experiment, even though the budget is tight.
Ian then joins Robert Rose, the Chief Troublemaker at The Content Advisory, in the Rockstar CMO virtual bar to discuss renting success over a cocktail.
Enjoy!
