Navigating the Marketing Maze: Why 70% of Managers Struggle with Marketing Optimisation

In the ever-evolving world of marketing, staying ahead of the curve is essential. It's no secret that marketing strategies are crucial to business success, but what happens when the people responsible for these strategies are struggling with their own marketing optimisation? 

Optimising your marketing is taking the content you create and tailoring it for the right audience, market, channels and budget. This is an essential for every size of business to maximise their marketing output.

At seventy7, we decided to dig deeper into this issue by conducting a survey to understand the extent of the problem. We questioned 250 marketing professionals across the UK, from Senior Managers to Directors to find out more about their challenges and goals.

Our findings were eye-opening and revealed that 70% of managers struggle with marketing optimisation challenges.

Continue reading to explore the implications of this statistic on various job roles, regional disparities, and the pivotal role of marketing agencies in addressing these issues.

The Struggles Across Job Roles

Getting the most out of content creation is not just a concern for marketing managers; it affects a broad range of job roles within an organisation. Our survey found that managers from different departments, including sales, finance, and product development, are all struggling with optimisation hurdles. 

These struggles often stem from a lack of alignment between departments and a lack of understanding of how marketing efforts impact the bottom line. In today's interconnected business landscape, it's crucial that every team member understands and contributes to the marketing optimisation process.

Regional Disparities in Marketing Optimisation

Our survey also uncovered intriguing regional disparities. We found that some regions faced more significant challenges than others. This could be attributed to differences in market maturity, resources, or digital infrastructure. 

Many businesses are working on content that's seen nationwide, if not globally, especially if they're selling online. So regardless of these hurdles it's important to keep up with the regions that are thriving.

It's essential for companies to recognise these disparities and adapt their marketing strategies accordingly. Marketing agencies can play a pivotal role in helping businesses bridge the gap by providing expertise and insights that help fight those region-specific barriers.
