Re: Focus
The world is enduring a period of profound change and transformation. Post-pandemic uncertainty, economic headwinds, and global geopolitical instability have all left their mark. As businesses come to terms with a new normal, professional services firms need to keep pace.
For this white paper, we spoke to global marketing leaders from some of the world's top professional services firms. Through in-depth interviews, we sought to understand how an uncertain market is shaping their thinking, and how they plan to stay focused on what really matters amidst shifting cultural and economic sands.
What did we learn?
We identified four key trends from our conversations with marketing leaders:
The great refocus
Faced with uncertainty on all fronts, marketers are refocusing their efforts and thinking more deeply about what really matters.
Marketing, fast and slow
Marketing leaders are walking a strategic tightrope, defending brand against pressure to prioritise short-term interests while simultaneously having to adopt an agile, responsive approach.
Building tighter bonds
Marketing functions are forming closer connections with practitioners, business development units, and the wider firm, aligning their activities and centring their focus on the needs of the client.
The new talent imperative
Gone is the age of the marketing generalist, at least at the mid-level—instead, specialised skill sets must be integrated horizontally to maximise efficiency and agility.
