Among 320 companies that responded to a recent Chief Marketing Officer Council survey, only a meager 16.8% reported that they had formal marketing performance measurement systems in place, even though 90% said that performance measurement was a priority. More importantly, 80% said they were dissatisfied with their ability to demonstrate ROI from their marketing initiatives.
