Surviving and Thriving with Agile Marketing

Agile Marketing

To survive, and most importantly thrive, in today’s consumer world, your teams need to be nimble enough to deliver rich and relevant omnichannel customer experiences while still responding to fast-moving demands and changes. But with so many moving pieces to manage, things can understandably fall through the cracks.

Are These Your Challenges, Too?

Do any of these issues sound familiar to you or your marketing team(s)?

  • Spending too much time on tasks outside of your primary job duties
  • Needing (and failing) to get campaigns and content to market faster
  • Lacking transparency into what’s going on with your teams and the progress they’re making on tasks

If you identified with one or all of these, don’t fret. This is where Agile marketing strategies and methodologies can help. According to AgileSherpas and Aprimo’s 2020 State of Agile Marketing Survey, 42% of traditional marketers surveyed shared that they plan on adopting Agile within a year.
