- 39% of Marketers Cite Lack of Data as a Top Marketing Challenge -
Marketing has reached a point in its growth where the concept of marketing measurement isn’t an “if,” but rather a “when” and a “how well.” Big Data is already a popular topic of discussion, so metrics aren’t an abstract idea known only to some.
