Dave Booth on why Big Data is getting a slow start

In today’s MediaPost, Cardinal Path co-founder and senior partner Dave Booth illustrates why big data strategy has not yet caught fire as an industry standard.

“More than 4,000 top marketers were surveyed [in CMOsurvey.org’s biannual CMO survey], and respondents — mostly VP-level or above marketing leaders — reported a decrease in the percentage of marketing projects in their companies that used analytics, from 37% on February of 2012 to 29% in August 2013.

And a majority of companies that said they did use marketing analytics reported not evaluating the quality of the analytics efforts in increasing rates: 53% in August 2012 and 67% a year later in August 2013.
