MARKETING Overview Ralph R. Zerbonia President Universe Central Corporation

Better Marketing Drives Company Value “The report found that 58 percent of ‘Best in Class’ organizations use marketing automation technologies, and are realizing increased annual revenue and decreased marketing spend year over year and achieve greater than 100 percent ROI”. The Aberdeen Group “Successful Strategies in Marketing Automation” “By 2010 over 50% of marketing staff in companies worldwide will be using enterprise software (marketing automation) as opposed to less than 20% today. Additionally, the reports projects that these tools will cut creative production cycle times by 30%.” Gartner Group Gartner Research Report (reprinted in Destination CRM)

Typical Business Challenges in Marketing Difficulty in demonstrating marketing ROI Lack of real-time insight into campaigns Poor data quality in marketing databases Difficulty in leveraging external data sources Inefficient processes

Industry Views “Marketing’s credibility within the boardroom is being damaged because of difficulties in demonstrating its true value… The number one issue is measurement and reporting which stops them from demonstrating the value they are actually delivering.” “The Marketing Credibility Gap” December 2006 “Currently, most large companies have physically separate marketing departments in different parts of the world, leading to no clear succinct global company “voice” – or unified marketing effort... It is time for marketing departments across the world to join hands.“ DM News, January 2007
