Five Key Challenges and Opportunities for CMOs Delivering the Future of Customer Experience

The steady transformations that were happening before 2020, both from a personal and business standpoint, suddenly increased at breakneck speed. Consumers increased their digital interactions and expected brands to keep up.

Organizations had to pivot and adapt in order to survive the fallout brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. As budgets were slashed, employees were transitioned to distributed, remote work and organizations operated on even thinner margins than usual, the need to gain market share and new customers while also retaining customers and improving brand loyalty through better customer experiences (CX) became the main goals of CMOs everywhere. And that? That represents no small set of challenges.

In our latest research brief, Five Key Challenges and Opportunities for CMOs Delivering the Future of Customer Experience — done in partnership with Capgemini — we set out to explore the future of customer experience, and the opportunities that are on the horizon for forward-thinking CMOs. This brief is the first in a series of papers that will further explore the challenges and opportunities CMOs face in delivering improved customer experiences.

In this brief you’ll learn:

  • The importance of marketing orchestration and the development of strong marketing ecosystems
  • The marketing technologies that are table stakes for businesses today
  • An understanding of today’s customers and their key drivers
  • Why performance-driven CMOs will be leading the change in organizations for years to come
  • Considerations for creating a successful customer experience strategy

Customer expectations are evolving. Organizations and CMOs need to evolve at the same pace in order to meet and exceed expectations or risk losing market share. The time to embrace data and the technology solutions that can help deliver personalized experiences is now.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
