Episode Notes

In this episode, Gartner analysts Alex de Fursac Gash and Suzanne Schwartz share key insights from the newly released 2023 Gartner Multichannel Marketing Survey. The survey shows that a customer-centric “holistic channel strategy” is an effective approach to managing channel complexity. Yet if it was so easy, everyone would be doing it. We also talk about how CMOs can take these insights and apply them to their organizations, cutting through this channel complexity.
