Digital Marketing Innovation | Introduction
Welcome to our newest piece of research, the IAB Digital Marketing Innovation Research.
We are proud to share it with you. With this survey, IAB Netherlands charts the digital
innovation agenda of leading marketers in the Netherlands. In cooperation with Deloitte
Digital we had interviews with 22 top marketers about the state of digital marketing in
their organizations and we spoke about their expectations for the coming 3 years. The
interviews were set up around three main themes; the use and organization of digital
marketing, the role of data and technology, and the way to measure the results of digital
marketing efforts. From the aggregated results we collected the main conclusions and
put together this report.

“WE NOW USE ALGORITHMS AND

OUR CLIENTS.
DIGITAL IS COMPLETELY CHANGING OUR
WAY OF WORKING AND WE WILL HEAVILY
INVEST IN THIS AREA”.

Digital Marketing Innovation | Executive summary
Digital marketing has shown consistent
growth figures in the past, and the
expectation is that this trend continues;
the respondents in our research expect
that within the upcoming 3 years digital
marketing budgets will increase by more
than 20% (54% digital activities today,
to 66% of the activities in three years).
The question is whether or not all media
including traditional media such as TV and
radio are soon to be seen as ‘digital’ as
well.
Mobile is a very important topic on the marketer’s
agenda. The exploration of added value of VR and
AR is ongoing (although most companies have not
yet found that value just yet). Video has shown
tremendous growth figures and will take an even
more important role in digital marketing in the
coming years.
Digital transformation
Digital transformation is an important theme
within the organizations we spoke to. The amount
of data is growing every day and organizations
are forced to invest in technology and marketing
automation in order to remain relevant to their
customers. The offer is incredible: the growth
of marketing related tooling has exploded. The
challenge here is to make the right choice on what
investments will be made to stay agile enough in
terms of people, technology and knowledge.
Marketers believe in data as enabler of the next
step in marketing; 74% of the respondents expect
to be able to drive one-to-one marketing within
three years and organizations are preparing for
it right now. Technology solutions such as Data
Management Platforms (DMP’s) are on their way
to becoming mainstream (36% has implemented a
DMP, 55% is currently implementing one).
But although all respondents underline the central
role of data within marketing, 27% does not have
a data strategy implemented yet.
With the explosion of data, and current marketing
automation projects in all organizations, marketing
and IT departments find new ways to collaborate
in order to generate more speed and create more
value from data.
Another trend is that the buying of media and the
execution of media activities is more and more
organized in-house. The increasing need to take
control of your own data and processes and the
lack of transparency of third parties both seem to
drive this change.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY.
Page 7
Digital Marketing Innovation | Executive summary
Data related challenges
Data is the new oil, many marketers declare.
Distilling the value from data, however, is a
large challenge. Respondents say to face many
difficulties in processing their data. These
difficulties are caused by technical restrictions
(data quality, 35%, connecting data sources, 45%)
as well as remaining relevant and actionable
(25%) and handling privacy related issues (35%).
Generating insights is one of the largest challenges
for 35% of the respondents. Extracting valuable
insights from data is challenging due to lack of
knowledge and skills; a marketer is not primarily
capable to perform in-depth data analysis. On the
other hand, it cannot be expected either from
a data analyst to craft the valuable and relevant
marketing related data questions.
Being in the possession of these volumes of data
comes with responsibility: most respondents say
that data protection and privacy and compliance
related issues are top of mind. Additionally
marketers struggle with the ethical dilemma: how
far do you want to go? Marketers are afraid of the
changing mindset of customers, and the possibility
that they will no longer want to share their data.
Furthermore, the amount of data and the ability
to measure touchpoints does not necessarily
simplify the measurement of success. 67% of the
respondents say that they are not able to measure
the ROI of their marketing investments over their
channels. There is a lack of coherence due to the
variety of metrics, which results in a complex and
cloudy KPI landscape.
Closing words
The goal of marketing has not changed by the
digital revolution: in the end it’s still about being
relevant to your customers. The challenge however
has shifted to the organization: the velocity
of change and development within the digital
marketing landscape forces companies to create
an insight driven organization that is nimble and
agile in execution.
Page 8
Digital Marketing Innovation | Digital marketing: the status quo and expectations
For years, digital marketing has shown
strong growth figures. We asked
topmarketers in the Netherlands to share
their opinion on the current situation and
their expectations in 3 years’ time. What
is the current situation in the Netherlands
and what do marketers expect?
Digital growth continues: expectation of 20%
growth in the coming 3 years
Digital marketing has grown, year-on-year. The
respondents of the current study expect a 20%
growth in digital marketing spend; digital holds
54% of their marketing mix today and is expected
to grow towards 66% in the coming three years.
However, the distinction between traditional offline
and digital is blurring. Most respondents indicate
that they have an “AV” category that includes both
traditional linear TV commercials as well as digital
video and radio. In December 2016 RTL claimed to
be the first company to successfully execute digital
product placement2
. Marketers question what
exactly will be defined as digital, and whether or
not all media will be digital in the end.
Marketing is seen as growth driver, investments
continue to rise
Together with the growth in digital marketing,
the marketing department itself and the role of
the marketer is changing; expectations of its role
are shifting from crafting brands to becoming an
indispensable pillar of growth and innovation. A
recent global study jointly executed by the CMO
Council and Deloitte3
reveals the expectations of
marketing being a growth driver among senior
management and the board.
Investments are growing accordingly and year-on-
year marketing budgets are rising. International
research shows that 12% of the entire company
budget is spent on marketing4
. Gartner researched
that 27% of the CMO spend is technology
related, and additionally they predict that the
CMO marketing spend on technology will exceed
the overall CIO technology spend in 20175
. The
respondents to this study all confirm they are
investing heavily in marketing innovations and
technological solutions that further automate
marketing activities.
DIGITAL MARKETING:
THE STATUS QUO AND EXPECTATIONS.
Note: TV is added up to traditional media in
the current metrics. Marketers do expect TV
to be seen as a digital channel in the near
future.

Digital Marketing Innovation | Digital marketing: the status quo and expectations
Digital transformation at all organizations
Being on top of mind of the customer becomes
an ever increasing challenge with the increasing
number of channels and touchpoints. Data is
scattered across the organization and not all
potential value can be uncovered. Going through
a digital transformation is inevitable: all of the
respondents are either transforming towards a
digital organization, or can be qualified already as
pure digital player. Attached to this digitization,
the respondents mentioned that their relations
with the IT department are becoming closer.
Though rarely leading, IT is involved earlier in the
innovation process and several of the respondents
say to apply the agile or DevOps ways of working
in order to accelerate.
The increasing volume of data and the urge to
stay relevant to customers drives organizations
to invest in optimizing their data usage as well.
27% of the respondents however, has no data
strategy in place. They are far from the 33%
of the respondents that have a separate data
department in charge of their data strategy. The
other 40% have a data strategy owned by the
marketing department.
Channel integration becomes mainstream:
48% of the respondents declare to have their
channels fully integrated and cross channel
optimized. Only 14% says that they currently still
manage their channels completely separately,
but all respondents are working on increasing the
percentage of optimally optimized organizations.
The transformation continues, and 74% of the
respondents expects to be able to have one-to-
one marketing established within the next three
years.

Hot topics in digital marketing
Mobile conversion still a challenge
Since the consumer is spending more and more
time on mobile devices, mobile is an important
topic on the marketer’s agenda. Despite the wish
for large sales conversion growth over mobile
channels, the respondents confirm that customers
do seem to browse and orientate on mobile
devices, but larger purchases do not yet take place
on mobile as much as wanted. Customers still tend
to buy larger basket sizes and complex products
and services on desktop. Some respondents
indicated the difficulties on the creative side,
where campaigns sometimes are started in a
“traditional way”, not taking mobile as a starting
point, resulting in lack of user experience or
extra costs for additional shooting (for video) or
development.
Pokémon Go has not triggered large AR or VR
investments just yet
Many of the respondents are interested in AR and
VR and have started experiments to uncover the
added value, but large investments do not yet
take place. Despite entertainment or simulation
purposes, respondents don’t expect their
customers to walk around wearing Oculus Rift or
Cardboard 3D headsets any time soon. VR might
bring added value in experience related event
activations, but, one exception noted, a clear link
to sales has not been discovered so far.
Video is on the rise, SEO and SEA remain a large
part of the budget
As in other studies that show accelerating revenue
growth in video (+28% in 20151
), 70% of the
respondents expect a strong growth in video in
the coming years, and they allocate their budgets
accordingly. They expect customers to consume
many types of engagement through video, which
might make written instructions less important.
Additionally, SEO and SEA currently are, and will
remain, a large part of the marketer’s budget.
Respondents confirm the need to buy the top
positions on search engines in certain phases of
the customer journey.

Digital innovation drives focus from acquisition
to retention
While current activities are mostly aimed at the
acquisition of new customers, marketers indicate
that retention of clients is becoming more and
more important. Today, acquisition wins easily,
scoring over 54% of the potential investment,
opposed to 28% of the budget being allocated
to retention. In three years, marketers expect to
invest 39% in retention; a growth of 11 points
while acquisition declines with 14 points to 40%.
There seems to be an exception for financial
services. There, the focus is already mainly on
retention. Marketers in this industry either expect
this to remain the same, or expect acquisition to
become more important in the near future.
Control seems to be the trend: organizations are
in-housing capabilities
The role of agencies and media buying houses is
changing. Whereas marketing related activities
and specialisms were outsourced more easily in
the past, there seems to be an in-housing trend
that drives organizations to develop their own
capabilities. The increasing urge to take control
and the lack of transparency at third parties both
seem to drive this change: 75% of the respondents
declare that third parties are not transparent
about their margins and an equal percentage sees
this as a serious issue.
Today, the respondents say that they execute 55%
of their marketing activities in-house. The latter
is expected to grow towards 63% in three years.
There is, however, no clear answer to whether the
benefits of this movement will outweigh the lack
of flexibility in capabilities.
Keeping focus on a few core activities, as well
as the expectation of higher quality delivery at
the third party, are reasons to outsource media
activities.
“In-house capabilities can increase
speed, but focusing too much on
your own models might result in
competitors passing you by
Bas van de Bunt, Nederlandse Loterij
AcƟviƟes today:
55% In-house
45% Outsourced
In 2020:
63% In-house
37% Outsourced
“We have our employees seated at
the third party site for a truly joint
effort and simultaneously we build
capabilities together”
Harry Dekker, Unilever
“The skills and amount of effort
required for digital marketing
specialisms are tremendous. We
work with strategic partners in order
to deliver the right quality”
Peter Haug, BMW

Digital Marketing Innovation | Innovation linked with the data challenge
The offer of marketing tools has exploded:
Chiefmartech’s visualization of marketing
technology solutions6
is a bellwether
showing over 3.500 unique tools today.
That is, in comparison to 2015, a stunning
growth of 87%. Is the Dutch marketing
innovation adoption growing accordingly?
The Dutch are ahead of the curve
Compared to international trends, the Dutch
marketing industry seems to be ahead of the
curve: 91% of the respondents declares that a
DMP is either a reality within their company (36%)
or they’re currently implementing one (55%),
while according to Gartner, DMPs are expected to
become mainstream within 2-5 years7
. The same
applies to Data Driven Marketing, which seems to
be the norm within the Netherlands (82% of the
respondents makes al least some use of marketing
in a data driven fashion), while the expectation in
international studies is that, globally, this will be
the case in 5-10 years.
DMP is taking over CRM
Whereas some organizations still see CRM as the
heart of the organization, most organizations see
CRM as ‘just another data source’. The DMP (Data
Management Platform) becomes the one-to-one
marketing enabler. Creating a single customer
view, however, remains difficult; it is available at
only 12% of the respondents’ organizations. This is
mostly due to data being stored in many different
systems across the organization, which causes
related challenges. Data needs to be accurate,
consistent and complete in order to draw the right
conclusions.
Real-time data usage comes with challenges
To enhance relevancy, for example by optimizing
the customer experience or marketing offer based
on real-time behavior at a specific touchpoint,
real-time data usage becomes increasingly
important. 62% of the respondents say they
are able to use real time data in their marketing
efforts. This does add an additional layer of
complexity as often real-time data is not readily
available, and for instance content variations need
to be produced upfront to be able to act upon the
latest insights straight away.
Automated dashboards drive strategic decisions
Dashboards become increasingly important in the
decision making processes. They combine data
from various inputs (e.g. financial drivers and
website metrics) to illuminate insights. 85% of the
respondents declare that they have access to an
automated dashboard.

Getting value from data: 5 main data
challenges for marketers
Although deep data insight is seen as crucial for
modern marketing, the opportunity seems to
be as large as the challenge to uncover its value.
Marketers struggle while handling data and face 5
main challenges that stem their road to success.
There’s a strong need for
capabilities that close the gap
between marketing and data
analytics
Crafting insights is difficult. Data analysis is not
inherently part of the marketer’s traditional
skillset. Data analysts on the other hand are
not educated as marketers. The challenge,
and opportunity at the same time for further
acceleration of digital growth is in bringing both
worlds closer together and attracting people with
the specific skills to bridge that gap.
Quality becomes the bottleneck
Data is available in large amounts
and in many formats, but often the
quality of the available data differs. To clean ‘dirty’
data is a very time consuming activity. This is a
widely known problem, resulting in data becoming
the bottleneck rather than the opportunity.
Connecting data sources
Data is scattered over multiple
sources throughout the organization
and the challenge is in connecting them. Adding
external data to the datapool makes the challenge
even more complicated. Organizations are facing
a lack of uniformity in definitions, both internally
and externally. Technology solutions such as a
DMP can accelerate the data opportunity, but the
uniformity challenge remains.
Actionability & relevancy
When insights are generated
it becomes a challenge to
translate them into relevant actions. Marketers
acknowledge that relevancy is the most important
factor in their marketing activities and real-time
actionable insights become key in the execution
of spreading their message at the right time
through the right channel. However, the lifetime
of data (“which like food, is limited”) and the (lack
of) speed of internal processes can become a
bottleneck.
Data protection is a must
Marketers stress the need to be
compliant with privacy regulation
and in most cases this topic is non-negotiable.
Data protection is an absolute must as
organizations realize very well that they cannot
afford any mistakes in protecting their customer
data. Current compliance processes can, however,
result in restrictions and lack of speed. Many
decisions need to pass various departments and
agility in scaling up and testing is troublesome; a
challenge faced in many data related activities.

Digital Marketing Innovation | Potential barriers in driving digital marketing
The way forward in digital marketing is
not a clear paved way and does not occur
overnight. What do marketers face on
their road to digital mastery?
Data protection, compliance and intrusiveness:
conservatism is the way to go
Possessing large amounts of data comes with
responsibility and it is on top of the marketers’
minds. From an ethical perspective marketers
wonder: where do you draw the line? This
question triggers the discussion about the thin
line between service and intrusiveness. 74% of the
respondents say to act rather conservatively when
it comes to using customer data for marketing
purposes.
Innovative KPIs have not yet reached the
boardroom, ROI difficult to measure
Marketers have more choice than ever when it
comes to measuring their customers’ moves. In
the end, it’s the financials that matter: revenue
has been mentioned as the most dominant KPI in
steering marketing activities. Another KPI that was
mentioned many times is Market Share, followed
by Conversion.
The amount of data and the ability to measure
touchpoints does not necessarily simplify the
measurement of success. 67% of the respondents
say that they are not able to measure their ROI
over their channels. The lack of coherence makes
it difficult to manage the business through the
newer KPIs and the variety of metrics results
in a complex and unclear KPI landscape. The
respondents expect to be able to monitor the
attribution of channels and activities to deal
closing in the near future, but there’s work to
be done. Respondents declare that many of
the revenue attribution models are currently
insufficient. Until that day most of the higher
management will stick with the familiar KPIs:
revenue is still the main metric in the boardroom.
Lack of agility is a continuous fear
As multiple new digital innovations are released
every day it has become impossible to keep up.
And investing now might as well result in creating
the new legacy of the future. So what to invest in,
and when, is a question that is top of mind within
the fast changing world of digital marketing. The
tension between innovation and agility is widely
recognized among marketers.

Digital Marketing Innovation | Marketers’ recommendations and appeals
Together, we bring our discipline a step
further. What do marketing professionals
recommend or ask their peers?
Stop making long term marketing plans
“We’ve stopped working with long term
marketing plans altogether. In the past,
our marketing plans lost their value
within 3 months, due to market changes.
It’s better to become a real time data
driven business”.
Martin de Boer, Corendon
Just start
“Marketers are afraid to just start.
There’s simply too much to look at. Even
though it is difficult, my advice would be:
just pick up a challenge and start”
Daan Noordeloos, Transavia
Let’s unify our metrics
“Industry data doesn’t yet come in as a
widely accepted market currency. There is
a lot of value in unifying the fundamental
marketing and media data. As advertisers
we want to be competitive and tend to be
very protective with respect to our data
pools and strategies. However, the risk is
to forget about potential synergies and
what we might have in common. My call
to the market is; let’s show leadership in
this chaos and create common datasets
for the industry as a base, rather than
each individual company creating their
own. From there on individual advertisers
should have the opportunity to build
on this base adding their own, specific
and unique data. This will drive both
efficiency and effectiveness”
Harry Dekker, Unilever
One common logo for influencer marketing
“It would be a big opportunity for
Influencer Marketing when all advertisers
start using 1 common logo to indicate if
a blog/vlog is sponsored. This will enable
transparency and ease of recognition. My
belief is that honesty will be appreciated
by consumers.”
Charlotte Zelders, Pepsico
Let go of old-fashioned marketing priorities
“Marketers still prioritize large thrilling
campaigns and other old-fashioned
‘coolness’ over customer relevancy.
There can be so much more value in well
targeted, smaller, high-impact activities”
Maarten Korz, Rabobank
MARKETERS’ RECOMMENDATIONS
AND APPEALS.
“Transparency in using (customer)
data is still an issue with third
parties. The lack of it can be
destructive to our industry”
Paul van Breugel, Travix
Page 16Page 16
Digital Marketing Innovation | Closing words
This is the first IAB Digital Marketing
Innovation Research report. Top marketers
of leading companies have told us where
they stand today and what areas of
innovation they feel are most important
to invest in. The group wasn’t scientifically
weighted to accurately reflect the entire
market, yet the group is large and diverse
enough to clearly indicate which (digital)
trends will dominate the market in the
coming years.
Where are we now?
Today, the marketer spends approximately half of
his media budget on online media, but by 2020
that will be closer to two-thirds. The deployment
of digital channels is increasingly part of an
integrated marketing plan, which stretches far
beyond just the media aspect. Today, an ad is no
longer a picture, but an application that opens
connections to database and video servers and
DMPs, to ultimately connect to, and build a
relationship with the customer. This requires a
new set of capabilities.
Core responsibilities and conditions for success
For the CMO of the future, knowledge of the
digital world is a key condition for success. The
chief technology officer (CTO) can help along the
way, but is only very rarely leading in thinking
about marketing innovation. That is unfortunate,
because some of the new opportunities to
reach customers are really driven by advances
in technology. However, in the large majority of
cases it is the marketer who has to follow up on
these developments and identify technology-
driven opportunities. Thinking in silos no longer
works. Knowledge of the marketing technology
stack, formulating a data strategy, partnering
with the CTO, managing a group of digital
specialists, externally or in-house: it’s all part of the
responsibilities of the CMO today.
One-to-one digital marketing relationship is
possible
One thing is clear: almost all those interviewed are
looking to build a better, long-term relationship
with the customer. In digital marketing innovation
these marketers see the opportunity to establish
customer intimacy, or even a true one-to-one
relationship. Obviously, data is key. With the right
use of data a deep understanding of individual
customers can become attainable.
At the same time, the vast majority of marketers
are very conservative in the way they deal with
sensitive information. And rightly so; nobody
wants to offend or even scare his customers. A
sophisticated data strategy and granular consumer
insight enable a marketing strategy where
consumers see less irrelevant ads and get better
service. What’s not to like?
Translation of Digital Marketing Innovation
research to IAB Netherlands policy
IAB Netherlands will do this research annually
to remain connected to the digital marketing
innovation agenda of leading organizations in the
Netherlands. Like the organizations we spoke with,
the IAB itself is in the middle of a technology driven
transition. As digital communication evolves, we
are broadening our scope, changing from a digital
advertising to a marketing innovation association.
Technology and data will remain important topics
for the IAB, which is reflected in the fact that we
have appointed board members representing
these fields. To help drive this agenda, we will
share inspiring examples of technology and data
driven digital innovation at our member meetings
and conferences.
Consumer interest is another important topic
for IAB, guiding how we position ourselves and
advise our members. Recently IAB has stood
up for a balanced cookie legislation, taking into
account the position of the consumer as well as
the industry. Last year we started a dialogue with
consumers to learn why ad-blocking became
more popular, and used the response to deliver
guidelines to the market that address these
consumer issues. As data strategies evolve, we
will remain vigilant on key privacy issues which
may come up. And as marketing becomes more
technology and data driven, the IAB strategy is
focused on maintaining quality and durability as
key principles in consumer relations. Thanks to our
Agile Task Forces we are able to respond to the
CLOSING WORDS.

IAB Netherlands report: Report on Digital Marketing Innovation

  • 1. Page 1 Marketing Innovation | Page 1 Marketing Innovation | REPORT ON DIGITAL MARKETING INNOVATION THE NETHERLANDS. JANUARY 2017
  • 2.
  • 3. Page 3 Digital Marketing Innovation | Introduction Welcome to our newest piece of research, the IAB Digital Marketing Innovation Research. We are proud to share it with you. With this survey, IAB Netherlands charts the digital innovation agenda of leading marketers in the Netherlands. In cooperation with Deloitte Digital we had interviews with 22 top marketers about the state of digital marketing in their organizations and we spoke about their expectations for the coming 3 years. The interviews were set up around three main themes; the use and organization of digital marketing, the role of data and technology, and the way to measure the results of digital marketing efforts. From the aggregated results we collected the main conclusions and put together this report. INTRODUCTION.
  • 4. Page 4 Digital Marketing Innovation | Table of content Introduction 3 Executive summary 6 Digital marketing: the status quo and expectations 8 Innovation linked with the data challenge 12 Potential barriers in driving digital marketing 14 Marketers’ recommendations and appeals 15 Closing words 16 Respondents 18 References 19 Contacts 20 TABLE OF CONTENTS.
  • 5. Page 5 “WE NOW USE ALGORITHMS AND INTELLIGENCE TO REMAIN RELEVANT TO OUR CLIENTS. DIGITAL IS COMPLETELY CHANGING OUR WAY OF WORKING AND WE WILL HEAVILY INVEST IN THIS AREA”. DAAN NOORDELOOS, TRANSAVIA
  • 6. Page 6 Digital Marketing Innovation | Executive summary Digital marketing has shown consistent growth figures in the past, and the expectation is that this trend continues; the respondents in our research expect that within the upcoming 3 years digital marketing budgets will increase by more than 20% (54% digital activities today, to 66% of the activities in three years). The question is whether or not all media including traditional media such as TV and radio are soon to be seen as ‘digital’ as well. Mobile is a very important topic on the marketer’s agenda. The exploration of added value of VR and AR is ongoing (although most companies have not yet found that value just yet). Video has shown tremendous growth figures and will take an even more important role in digital marketing in the coming years. Digital transformation Digital transformation is an important theme within the organizations we spoke to. The amount of data is growing every day and organizations are forced to invest in technology and marketing automation in order to remain relevant to their customers. The offer is incredible: the growth of marketing related tooling has exploded. The challenge here is to make the right choice on what investments will be made to stay agile enough in terms of people, technology and knowledge. Marketers believe in data as enabler of the next step in marketing; 74% of the respondents expect to be able to drive one-to-one marketing within three years and organizations are preparing for it right now. Technology solutions such as Data Management Platforms (DMP’s) are on their way to becoming mainstream (36% has implemented a DMP, 55% is currently implementing one). But although all respondents underline the central role of data within marketing, 27% does not have a data strategy implemented yet. With the explosion of data, and current marketing automation projects in all organizations, marketing and IT departments find new ways to collaborate in order to generate more speed and create more value from data. Another trend is that the buying of media and the execution of media activities is more and more organized in-house. The increasing need to take control of your own data and processes and the lack of transparency of third parties both seem to drive this change. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY.
  • 7. Page 7 Digital Marketing Innovation | Executive summary Data related challenges Data is the new oil, many marketers declare. Distilling the value from data, however, is a large challenge. Respondents say to face many difficulties in processing their data. These difficulties are caused by technical restrictions (data quality, 35%, connecting data sources, 45%) as well as remaining relevant and actionable (25%) and handling privacy related issues (35%). Generating insights is one of the largest challenges for 35% of the respondents. Extracting valuable insights from data is challenging due to lack of knowledge and skills; a marketer is not primarily capable to perform in-depth data analysis. On the other hand, it cannot be expected either from a data analyst to craft the valuable and relevant marketing related data questions. Being in the possession of these volumes of data comes with responsibility: most respondents say that data protection and privacy and compliance related issues are top of mind. Additionally marketers struggle with the ethical dilemma: how far do you want to go? Marketers are afraid of the changing mindset of customers, and the possibility that they will no longer want to share their data. Furthermore, the amount of data and the ability to measure touchpoints does not necessarily simplify the measurement of success. 67% of the respondents say that they are not able to measure the ROI of their marketing investments over their channels. There is a lack of coherence due to the variety of metrics, which results in a complex and cloudy KPI landscape. Closing words The goal of marketing has not changed by the digital revolution: in the end it’s still about being relevant to your customers. The challenge however has shifted to the organization: the velocity of change and development within the digital marketing landscape forces companies to create an insight driven organization that is nimble and agile in execution.
  • 8. Page 8 Digital Marketing Innovation | Digital marketing: the status quo and expectations For years, digital marketing has shown strong growth figures. We asked topmarketers in the Netherlands to share their opinion on the current situation and their expectations in 3 years’ time. What is the current situation in the Netherlands and what do marketers expect? Digital growth continues: expectation of 20% growth in the coming 3 years Digital marketing has grown, year-on-year. The respondents of the current study expect a 20% growth in digital marketing spend; digital holds 54% of their marketing mix today and is expected to grow towards 66% in the coming three years. However, the distinction between traditional offline and digital is blurring. Most respondents indicate that they have an “AV” category that includes both traditional linear TV commercials as well as digital video and radio. In December 2016 RTL claimed to be the first company to successfully execute digital product placement2 . Marketers question what exactly will be defined as digital, and whether or not all media will be digital in the end. Marketing is seen as growth driver, investments continue to rise Together with the growth in digital marketing, the marketing department itself and the role of the marketer is changing; expectations of its role are shifting from crafting brands to becoming an indispensable pillar of growth and innovation. A recent global study jointly executed by the CMO Council and Deloitte3 reveals the expectations of marketing being a growth driver among senior management and the board. Investments are growing accordingly and year-on- year marketing budgets are rising. International research shows that 12% of the entire company budget is spent on marketing4 . Gartner researched that 27% of the CMO spend is technology related, and additionally they predict that the CMO marketing spend on technology will exceed the overall CIO technology spend in 20175 . The respondents to this study all confirm they are investing heavily in marketing innovations and technological solutions that further automate marketing activities. DIGITAL MARKETING: THE STATUS QUO AND EXPECTATIONS. Note: TV is added up to traditional media in the current metrics. Marketers do expect TV to be seen as a digital channel in the near future. MarkƟng mix today 54% Digital 46% TradiƟonal In 2020: 66% Digital 34% TradiƟonal “Innovation is part of our DNA; if someone has an idea that will benefit the business, they get a budget, no questions asked” Marco Disseldorp, Adobe
  • 9. Digital Marketing Innovation | Digital marketing: the status quo and expectations “We’re investing in marketing attribution technology to be able to make better budget allocation decisions in the future” Edwin Hof, TUI Page 9 Digital Marketing Innovation | Digital marketing: the status quo and expectations Digital transformation at all organizations Being on top of mind of the customer becomes an ever increasing challenge with the increasing number of channels and touchpoints. Data is scattered across the organization and not all potential value can be uncovered. Going through a digital transformation is inevitable: all of the respondents are either transforming towards a digital organization, or can be qualified already as pure digital player. Attached to this digitization, the respondents mentioned that their relations with the IT department are becoming closer. Though rarely leading, IT is involved earlier in the innovation process and several of the respondents say to apply the agile or DevOps ways of working in order to accelerate. The increasing volume of data and the urge to stay relevant to customers drives organizations to invest in optimizing their data usage as well. 27% of the respondents however, has no data strategy in place. They are far from the 33% of the respondents that have a separate data department in charge of their data strategy. The other 40% have a data strategy owned by the marketing department. Channel integration becomes mainstream: 48% of the respondents declare to have their channels fully integrated and cross channel optimized. Only 14% says that they currently still manage their channels completely separately, but all respondents are working on increasing the percentage of optimally optimized organizations. The transformation continues, and 74% of the respondents expects to be able to have one-to- one marketing established within the next three years.
  • 10. Page 10Page 10 Digital Marketing Innovation | Digital marketing: the status quo and expectations Hot topics in digital marketing Mobile conversion still a challenge Since the consumer is spending more and more time on mobile devices, mobile is an important topic on the marketer’s agenda. Despite the wish for large sales conversion growth over mobile channels, the respondents confirm that customers do seem to browse and orientate on mobile devices, but larger purchases do not yet take place on mobile as much as wanted. Customers still tend to buy larger basket sizes and complex products and services on desktop. Some respondents indicated the difficulties on the creative side, where campaigns sometimes are started in a “traditional way”, not taking mobile as a starting point, resulting in lack of user experience or extra costs for additional shooting (for video) or development. Pokémon Go has not triggered large AR or VR investments just yet Many of the respondents are interested in AR and VR and have started experiments to uncover the added value, but large investments do not yet take place. Despite entertainment or simulation purposes, respondents don’t expect their customers to walk around wearing Oculus Rift or Cardboard 3D headsets any time soon. VR might bring added value in experience related event activations, but, one exception noted, a clear link to sales has not been discovered so far. Video is on the rise, SEO and SEA remain a large part of the budget As in other studies that show accelerating revenue growth in video (+28% in 20151 ), 70% of the respondents expect a strong growth in video in the coming years, and they allocate their budgets accordingly. They expect customers to consume many types of engagement through video, which might make written instructions less important. Additionally, SEO and SEA currently are, and will remain, a large part of the marketer’s budget. Respondents confirm the need to buy the top positions on search engines in certain phases of the customer journey. How do you manage your digital and tradiƟonal channels? 14% 38% 48% Fully integrated: 48% Digital and traditional marketing where all processes are optimized Partially integrated: 38% Digital and traditional marketing integrated but not optimized cross-channel Separated: 14% Use and optimization of digital media is managed separately from traditional media “I believe that our inhouse SEO & SEA teams belong to the top performers in the Netherlands and Belgium, partially due to the clever connections with our daily business” Jeroen Sitskoorn, Bol.com
  • 11. Page 11Page 11 Digital Marketing Innovation | Digital marketing: the status quo and expectations Digital innovation drives focus from acquisition to retention While current activities are mostly aimed at the acquisition of new customers, marketers indicate that retention of clients is becoming more and more important. Today, acquisition wins easily, scoring over 54% of the potential investment, opposed to 28% of the budget being allocated to retention. In three years, marketers expect to invest 39% in retention; a growth of 11 points while acquisition declines with 14 points to 40%. There seems to be an exception for financial services. There, the focus is already mainly on retention. Marketers in this industry either expect this to remain the same, or expect acquisition to become more important in the near future. Control seems to be the trend: organizations are in-housing capabilities The role of agencies and media buying houses is changing. Whereas marketing related activities and specialisms were outsourced more easily in the past, there seems to be an in-housing trend that drives organizations to develop their own capabilities. The increasing urge to take control and the lack of transparency at third parties both seem to drive this change: 75% of the respondents declare that third parties are not transparent about their margins and an equal percentage sees this as a serious issue. Today, the respondents say that they execute 55% of their marketing activities in-house. The latter is expected to grow towards 63% in three years. There is, however, no clear answer to whether the benefits of this movement will outweigh the lack of flexibility in capabilities. Keeping focus on a few core activities, as well as the expectation of higher quality delivery at the third party, are reasons to outsource media activities. “In-house capabilities can increase speed, but focusing too much on your own models might result in competitors passing you by Bas van de Bunt, Nederlandse Loterij AcƟviƟes today: 55% In-house 45% Outsourced In 2020: 63% In-house 37% Outsourced “We have our employees seated at the third party site for a truly joint effort and simultaneously we build capabilities together” Harry Dekker, Unilever “The skills and amount of effort required for digital marketing specialisms are tremendous. We work with strategic partners in order to deliver the right quality” Peter Haug, BMW
  • 12. Page 12Page 12 Digital Marketing Innovation | Innovation linked with the data challenge The offer of marketing tools has exploded: Chiefmartech’s visualization of marketing technology solutions6 is a bellwether showing over 3.500 unique tools today. That is, in comparison to 2015, a stunning growth of 87%. Is the Dutch marketing innovation adoption growing accordingly? The Dutch are ahead of the curve Compared to international trends, the Dutch marketing industry seems to be ahead of the curve: 91% of the respondents declares that a DMP is either a reality within their company (36%) or they’re currently implementing one (55%), while according to Gartner, DMPs are expected to become mainstream within 2-5 years7 . The same applies to Data Driven Marketing, which seems to be the norm within the Netherlands (82% of the respondents makes al least some use of marketing in a data driven fashion), while the expectation in international studies is that, globally, this will be the case in 5-10 years. DMP is taking over CRM Whereas some organizations still see CRM as the heart of the organization, most organizations see CRM as ‘just another data source’. The DMP (Data Management Platform) becomes the one-to-one marketing enabler. Creating a single customer view, however, remains difficult; it is available at only 12% of the respondents’ organizations. This is mostly due to data being stored in many different systems across the organization, which causes related challenges. Data needs to be accurate, consistent and complete in order to draw the right conclusions. Real-time data usage comes with challenges To enhance relevancy, for example by optimizing the customer experience or marketing offer based on real-time behavior at a specific touchpoint, real-time data usage becomes increasingly important. 62% of the respondents say they are able to use real time data in their marketing efforts. This does add an additional layer of complexity as often real-time data is not readily available, and for instance content variations need to be produced upfront to be able to act upon the latest insights straight away. Automated dashboards drive strategic decisions Dashboards become increasingly important in the decision making processes. They combine data from various inputs (e.g. financial drivers and website metrics) to illuminate insights. 85% of the respondents declare that they have access to an automated dashboard.

  • 13. Page 13 Digital Marketing Innovation | Innovation linked with the data challenge Getting value from data: 5 main data challenges for marketers Although deep data insight is seen as crucial for modern marketing, the opportunity seems to be as large as the challenge to uncover its value. Marketers struggle while handling data and face 5 main challenges that stem their road to success. There’s a strong need for capabilities that close the gap between marketing and data analytics Crafting insights is difficult. Data analysis is not inherently part of the marketer’s traditional skillset. Data analysts on the other hand are not educated as marketers. The challenge, and opportunity at the same time for further acceleration of digital growth is in bringing both worlds closer together and attracting people with the specific skills to bridge that gap. Quality becomes the bottleneck Data is available in large amounts and in many formats, but often the quality of the available data differs. To clean ‘dirty’ data is a very time consuming activity. This is a widely known problem, resulting in data becoming the bottleneck rather than the opportunity. Connecting data sources Data is scattered over multiple sources throughout the organization and the challenge is in connecting them. Adding external data to the datapool makes the challenge even more complicated. Organizations are facing a lack of uniformity in definitions, both internally and externally. Technology solutions such as a DMP can accelerate the data opportunity, but the uniformity challenge remains. Actionability & relevancy When insights are generated it becomes a challenge to translate them into relevant actions. Marketers acknowledge that relevancy is the most important factor in their marketing activities and real-time actionable insights become key in the execution of spreading their message at the right time through the right channel. However, the lifetime of data (“which like food, is limited”) and the (lack of) speed of internal processes can become a bottleneck. Data protection is a must Marketers stress the need to be compliant with privacy regulation and in most cases this topic is non-negotiable. Data protection is an absolute must as organizations realize very well that they cannot afford any mistakes in protecting their customer data. Current compliance processes can, however, result in restrictions and lack of speed. Many decisions need to pass various departments and agility in scaling up and testing is troublesome; a challenge faced in many data related activities. Percentage of respondents that mentioned data related challenge 35% 35% 45% 25% 35% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% CraŌing insights Data quality ConnecƟng data sources AcƟonability and relevancy Privacy & data protecƟon “Data analysts are not marketers, and therefore you can’t expect them to come up with the valuable and relevant marketing related questions” Maarten Korz, Rabobank “Privacy compliance is a non-negotiable requirement for us” Albert Spijkman, Achmea Page 13
  • 14. Page 14Page 14 Digital Marketing Innovation | Potential barriers in driving digital marketing The way forward in digital marketing is not a clear paved way and does not occur overnight. What do marketers face on their road to digital mastery? Data protection, compliance and intrusiveness: conservatism is the way to go Possessing large amounts of data comes with responsibility and it is on top of the marketers’ minds. From an ethical perspective marketers wonder: where do you draw the line? This question triggers the discussion about the thin line between service and intrusiveness. 74% of the respondents say to act rather conservatively when it comes to using customer data for marketing purposes. Innovative KPIs have not yet reached the boardroom, ROI difficult to measure Marketers have more choice than ever when it comes to measuring their customers’ moves. In the end, it’s the financials that matter: revenue has been mentioned as the most dominant KPI in steering marketing activities. Another KPI that was mentioned many times is Market Share, followed by Conversion. The amount of data and the ability to measure touchpoints does not necessarily simplify the measurement of success. 67% of the respondents say that they are not able to measure their ROI over their channels. The lack of coherence makes it difficult to manage the business through the newer KPIs and the variety of metrics results in a complex and unclear KPI landscape. The respondents expect to be able to monitor the attribution of channels and activities to deal closing in the near future, but there’s work to be done. Respondents declare that many of the revenue attribution models are currently insufficient. Until that day most of the higher management will stick with the familiar KPIs: revenue is still the main metric in the boardroom. Lack of agility is a continuous fear As multiple new digital innovations are released every day it has become impossible to keep up. And investing now might as well result in creating the new legacy of the future. So what to invest in, and when, is a question that is top of mind within the fast changing world of digital marketing. The tension between innovation and agility is widely recognized among marketers. POTENTIAL BARRIERS IN DRIVING DIGITAL MARKETING.

  • 15. Page 15Page 15 Digital Marketing Innovation | Marketers’ recommendations and appeals Together, we bring our discipline a step further. What do marketing professionals recommend or ask their peers? Stop making long term marketing plans “We’ve stopped working with long term marketing plans altogether. In the past, our marketing plans lost their value within 3 months, due to market changes. It’s better to become a real time data driven business”. Martin de Boer, Corendon Just start “Marketers are afraid to just start. There’s simply too much to look at. Even though it is difficult, my advice would be: just pick up a challenge and start” Daan Noordeloos, Transavia Let’s unify our metrics “Industry data doesn’t yet come in as a widely accepted market currency. There is a lot of value in unifying the fundamental marketing and media data. As advertisers we want to be competitive and tend to be very protective with respect to our data pools and strategies. However, the risk is to forget about potential synergies and what we might have in common. My call to the market is; let’s show leadership in this chaos and create common datasets for the industry as a base, rather than each individual company creating their own. From there on individual advertisers should have the opportunity to build on this base adding their own, specific and unique data. This will drive both efficiency and effectiveness” Harry Dekker, Unilever One common logo for influencer marketing “It would be a big opportunity for Influencer Marketing when all advertisers start using 1 common logo to indicate if a blog/vlog is sponsored. This will enable transparency and ease of recognition. My belief is that honesty will be appreciated by consumers.” Charlotte Zelders, Pepsico Let go of old-fashioned marketing priorities “Marketers still prioritize large thrilling campaigns and other old-fashioned ‘coolness’ over customer relevancy. There can be so much more value in well targeted, smaller, high-impact activities” Maarten Korz, Rabobank MARKETERS’ RECOMMENDATIONS AND APPEALS. “Transparency in using (customer) data is still an issue with third parties. The lack of it can be destructive to our industry” Paul van Breugel, Travix
  • 16. Page 16Page 16 Digital Marketing Innovation | Closing words This is the first IAB Digital Marketing Innovation Research report. Top marketers of leading companies have told us where they stand today and what areas of innovation they feel are most important to invest in. The group wasn’t scientifically weighted to accurately reflect the entire market, yet the group is large and diverse enough to clearly indicate which (digital) trends will dominate the market in the coming years. Where are we now? Today, the marketer spends approximately half of his media budget on online media, but by 2020 that will be closer to two-thirds. The deployment of digital channels is increasingly part of an integrated marketing plan, which stretches far beyond just the media aspect. Today, an ad is no longer a picture, but an application that opens connections to database and video servers and DMPs, to ultimately connect to, and build a relationship with the customer. This requires a new set of capabilities. Core responsibilities and conditions for success For the CMO of the future, knowledge of the digital world is a key condition for success. The chief technology officer (CTO) can help along the way, but is only very rarely leading in thinking about marketing innovation. That is unfortunate, because some of the new opportunities to reach customers are really driven by advances in technology. However, in the large majority of cases it is the marketer who has to follow up on these developments and identify technology- driven opportunities. Thinking in silos no longer works. Knowledge of the marketing technology stack, formulating a data strategy, partnering with the CTO, managing a group of digital specialists, externally or in-house: it’s all part of the responsibilities of the CMO today. One-to-one digital marketing relationship is possible One thing is clear: almost all those interviewed are looking to build a better, long-term relationship with the customer. In digital marketing innovation these marketers see the opportunity to establish customer intimacy, or even a true one-to-one relationship. Obviously, data is key. With the right use of data a deep understanding of individual customers can become attainable. At the same time, the vast majority of marketers are very conservative in the way they deal with sensitive information. And rightly so; nobody wants to offend or even scare his customers. A sophisticated data strategy and granular consumer insight enable a marketing strategy where consumers see less irrelevant ads and get better service. What’s not to like? Translation of Digital Marketing Innovation research to IAB Netherlands policy IAB Netherlands will do this research annually to remain connected to the digital marketing innovation agenda of leading organizations in the Netherlands. Like the organizations we spoke with, the IAB itself is in the middle of a technology driven transition. As digital communication evolves, we are broadening our scope, changing from a digital advertising to a marketing innovation association. Technology and data will remain important topics for the IAB, which is reflected in the fact that we have appointed board members representing these fields. To help drive this agenda, we will share inspiring examples of technology and data driven digital innovation at our member meetings and conferences. Consumer interest is another important topic for IAB, guiding how we position ourselves and advise our members. Recently IAB has stood up for a balanced cookie legislation, taking into account the position of the consumer as well as the industry. Last year we started a dialogue with consumers to learn why ad-blocking became more popular, and used the response to deliver guidelines to the market that address these consumer issues. As data strategies evolve, we will remain vigilant on key privacy issues which may come up. And as marketing becomes more technology and data driven, the IAB strategy is focused on maintaining quality and durability as key principles in consumer relations. Thanks to our Agile Task Forces we are able to respond to the CLOSING WORDS.
