Get the New Brief on Engagement Marketing:
Find Out What Happens When Customers Take Control

According to the latest research, people are bombarded with more than 3000 messages every day, and more than 80% of them trust word-of-mouth more than any other resource. Messages, positioning and brands are suddenly in the hands of millions of people and largely beyond the marketer's control. With brands in the hands of consumers, organizations must approach customer engagement and acquisition in a whole new way.

Marketing professionals are being forced into in a new era of marketing communications, that of crowds talking to crowds about products, services and brands. Technology has enabled the transformation from One-to-Many (1:N) marketing to Many-to-Many (N:N) within the past ten years. Today, marketers and their IT partners are grappling with the tools to analyze, measure and react in this brave new consumer-driven world of marketing communications.

The traditional Four P's of marketing (Product, Price, Place and Promotion) are transforming into the Four R's of marketing communications (Reveal, Reward, Respect and Retain). And WebTrends is leading the development of a marketing platform that turns data into information and insight for marketers to use accordingly.

Download this new brief from WebTrends and learn how you can reveal, reward, respect and retain customers across every marketing channel, interaction and touchpoint—no matter who's driving the conversation.
