The survey and its objectives
The Marketing Campaign Planning Survey 2014 (MCP Survey) was conducted to understand how marketing campaign planning and execution are done. Also, what processes and tools are used, and to identify the challenges faced during campaign planning.
The survey was conducted online from August 8- to September 2, 2014, and garnered responses from 565 individuals.
The respondents were from various industries and included marketing professionals at all levels. From VPs/Director level to managers and coordinators. The MCP Survey report provides insights on data marketing campaign planning: objectives and strategies, target audience, media mix, budgeting, and measurement.
In addition, the report highlights the challenges faced by marketers while planning campaigns and provides recommendations on how to overcome these challenges.
The results of the survey
The Marketing Campaign Planning Survey 2014 is the result of a joint effort by the American Association of Advertising Agencies and the Marketing Management Association. The survey was conducted in February and March 2014 and collected data from over 1,000 marketing professionals.
The survey results reveal some interesting insights into how marketers plan their campaigns. Surprisingly, 60% of respondents said they did not use any formal process when planning their campaigns.
This is a tremendous increase from the 46% who said the same in 2013. Additionally, nearly half of all respondents said they do not clearly understand their target audience. This lack of clarity could explain why many marketers are not using a formal campaign planning process.
Developing an effective campaign strategy can be challenging without a direct understanding of who they are trying to reach. The survey results suggest that marketers need to clarify their target audience. Creating a more structured approach to campaign planning.
