I just finished reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/marketing\/research\/annual-cmo-spend-survey-research\">Gartner&#8217;s<\/a> State of Marketing Budget &amp; Strategy 2022 and wanted to share some quick thoughts and insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love reading Gartner&#8217;s reports because they identify key marketing challenges based on client interviews and primary research. It provides excellent context and a frame of reference before reading into the data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s a summary of what they see as marketing challenges:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>So far, in 2022, marketing budgets have increased to 9.5% of company revenue. This is up from 6.4% in 2021. These budget numbers appear good, but they are still behind pre-pandemic levels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The buyer journey is evolving, and CMOs want to balance brand awareness and marketing performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>58% of CMOs report they don&#8217;t have the talent to deliver their marketing strategies, yet hiring is flat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Digital Marketing Budgets Increasing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2018, marketing budgets as a mean percentage of company revenue was 11%. In 2020, that percentage dropped 6.4% during the pandemic and was back up to 9.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Gartner, the average marketing spending has increased across all industries, with a few exceptions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Financial Services brands<\/strong> recorded the highest marketing budgets, at 10.4% of company revenue, up from 7.4% in 2021.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Travel and Hospitality reported<\/strong> a significant marketing budget increase, from 5.4% in 2021 to 8.4% in 2022. This is excellent news considering that the pandemic impacted this industry the most.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CMOs that work in the technology sector<\/strong> reported the most significant increase in budget year over year, jumping from 5.0% in 2021 to 10.1% in 2022.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s interesting about this data is when you overlay it with other research. While scanning the <a href=\"https:\/\/cmosurvey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/The_CMO_Survey-Highlights_and_Insights_Report-February_2022.pdf\">Deloitte CMO Survey<\/a>, one data point caught my eye. When CMOs were asked if they were more or less optimistic about the US economy, 39% reported being less optimistic. Even though optimism is down among CMOs, marketing budgets are still increasing. This is good news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CMOs Shifting from Digital-First as the Buyer Journey Shifts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/data\/chief-marketing-officer\/\">Chief Marketing Officer<\/a> was asked about their marketing budgets focused on online versus offline channels, <strong>56% said digital was the priority<\/strong>. However, offline marketing channels account for 46% of the budget, which seems to be a more equal split than in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evidence for this shift can be seen in YouTube&#8217;s reported revenue, which missed market expectations in Q1 of 2022. This recalibration reflects the essential truth of what Gartner calls &#8220;hybrid multichannel marketing,&#8221; which is a different way of saying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/content\/omnichannel-marketing\/\">omnichannel marketing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paid Social &amp; Search Marketing (PPC) Are Digital Marketing Budget Priorities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Gartner, marketing budgets across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/content\/peso-model\/\">PESO channels<\/a> skew towards paid digital media and account for over 60% of the total budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the average spend across various verticals, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/content\/demand-generation-marketing\/\">paid social leads<\/a>, followed by paid search and display advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paid social appears to be a smart preference for marketers in 2022, as platforms like TikTok grow and legacy brands like Facebook, now Meta (Did I say that Facebook is a legacy brand?), see their user numbers increase. In addition, paid social allows brands to target various audiences with highly customized creative and marketing messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gartner-marketing-report.jpg\" alt=\"An image of the Gartner State of Marketing Budget Report\" class=\"wp-image-5932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gartner-marketing-report.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gartner-marketing-report-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gartner-marketing-report-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gartner-marketing-report-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gartner-marketing-report-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking at specific industries, there are a few interesting insights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>CPG and retail brands<\/strong> allocate the highest digital budget to paid social.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finserv brands<\/strong> spend more on email marketing than other digital marketing channels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Healthcare companies<\/strong> allocate the largest marketing budget to paid search advertising.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Analytics Budgets Appear to be Small But Not Really<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, digital commerce was number one on the list, reflecting that consumer and B2B brands had prioritized investments in digital channels to serve their customers through the pandemic challenges. In 2022, digital commerce will be less of a priority for CMOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital commerce has been replaced by campaign creation and management, brand strategy and activation, and marketing ops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Budget allocations towards analytics appear to be very low on the priority list; however, Gartner segmented analytics into three core marketing functions and, when combined, account for almost 30% of budget allocation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Marketing data and analytics 9%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer Analytics 8.8%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marketing Insight 8.3%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Marketing Budgets Insights from Deloitte&#8217;s CMO Survey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Deloitte, digital marketing will continue to be prioritized in 2022. In addition, investments in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/social-data-analytics\/data-driven-marketing\/\">data-driven marketing<\/a> have increased since February 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 60% of marketers surveyed are testing and iterating their digital marketing plan and strategies and believe in having a solid understanding of the various technologies available in the marketplace. However, fewer than 40% believe they have the right system to track customer data across the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/influencer-marketing\/b2b-sales-funnel\/#B2B-buyers-journey\">B2B buyer journey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While investments in digital marketing have increased across the board, data-related activities experienced the largest growth, rising almost 40% from 56.5% in February 2021 to 77.5% in February 2022. With data collection and purchasing becoming more complex, companies are increasing their budget investments in capabilities to analyze, store, manage, and automate their data. As a result, Martech stacks are becoming more complex, and companies are investing in the necessary technologies to scale and integrate disparate systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See below for the areas of digital budget allocation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Data analytics 77.5%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optimizing the company website 74%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digital media and search 70.9%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marketing technology 69.8%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Direct marketing (email) 68.2%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A\/B testing 47.3%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managing privacy issues 35.3%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Machine learning and automation 26.4%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improving app by 24.4%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/deloitte-cmo-survey.jpg\" alt=\"An image of the Deloitte CMO Survey\" class=\"wp-image-5933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/deloitte-cmo-survey.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/deloitte-cmo-survey-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/deloitte-cmo-survey-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/deloitte-cmo-survey-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/deloitte-cmo-survey-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Deloitte, marketers are creating more robust data strategies and investing in innovation due to changes to third-party data.
