Today I am extending an open invitation for marketers that read this blog to help participate, both in my upcoming book – tentatively titled Connected Marketing – and in my current graduate research project, by taking part in a survey of US marketers that I am currently conducting.
As I noted in a previous post, the focus of my current research is on analyzing and synthesizing ways that marketers could better leverage technology for more connected and more strategic marketing, as well as identifying the cultural, organizational and technological barriers marketers face in trying to adopt strategic marketing technology (versus the myriad of tactical technologies they rely upon today). By presenting insights both into the ‘state of the art’ and into what is keeping marketers from getting there, I hope to provide marketers with new leverage in how they attack the problem.
A key component of this research is an original benchmark survey of marketers focused on garnering insights into marketing technology priorities and experiences. This is where I need your help.
Participate in the Survey
If you are a US-based marketer, please take a few minutes this week to participate in this survey.
This is the last week of the survey, and I need the help of the regular readers of Propelling Brands to hit my target research sample size. So if you can take a few minutes today to fill this out, I’d appreciate it. It shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes, and as a thank-you for your participation, you will receive a summary of the survey results and will be entered into a drawing for an Amazon gift card.
Deadline for completing the survey is Midnight PT on Sunday, April 19, 2009.
