Resilience Report: Does Your Marketing Fit Your Company'sNeeds?

Six Types of Marketing Organizations:
Where Do You Fit In?
By Edward Landry, Andrew Tipping, and Brodie Dixon

Marketing organizations that don't meet their companies’ needs are distressingly common these days. Perhaps this is why a survey in 2004 by the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) and Booz Allen Hamilton showed that the average tenure of a CMO is just two years. We set out to find out what could be done. To avoid a dangerous mismatch -- or correct it -- companies of all sorts need to understand (1) what type of marketing organization they have, and (2) what type of marketing organization they need. A new joint study by Booz Allen Hamilton and the ANA identifies six types of marketing organizations -- each with its own strengths and challenges -- and provides a free, five-minute test to help you identify where your company stands and what can be done to up the performance ante.
