Plan Smart.
Pivot Fast.
Find out in our two-part “Plan Smart. Pivot Fast.” webinar series featuring Forrester why speed and agility is the CMO’s new marketing mandate.
Is One-and-Done Marketing Planning Dead?
A rigid annual marketing plan is no longer sufficient, and marketing is being asked to pivot global plans and resources when it’s required by the business. It’s no easy task, but it’s imperative to revenue growth.

PART 2: The New Rules of Marketing Planning
