Picking Up the Pieces: Secrets of Marketing in a Fragmented Digital World

October 10th, 2011

Topics: Analytics, Mobile, Mobile Measurement, Optimization, Site Optimization

Marketing is going through a period of significant evolution. The era of easily compartmentalized silos has been usurped by the Splinternet, a large-scale fragmentation of devices, data access, and technology standards. The Splinternet upends many of the assumptions upon which interactive marketing is based and, at the same time, presents both challenges and opportunities for marketers.

Webtrends recently commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct an in-depth survey of 210 global senior level digital marketers across industries to discover how they are struggling, and succeeding, with digital marketing fragmentation.

In a hosted webinar on Sept 22, Forrester’s Senior Analyst Joe Stanhope teamed up with Webtrends’ Director of Product Marketing, Steve Earl, to present the research and new insights into the current state of marketing fragmentation and how marketers can best position their companies for success.
