Commentary: The Anatomy of an Effective Marketing Brain [Infographic]

This was sent to me by Kipp Bodnar VP Marketing, HubSpot. I found it fascinating and was intrigued. I wanted to share in a special post. Everyone please share and give Kipp and I your feedback on this. What are your thoughts? Insights?

 

The traditional marketing model in which marketers were only responsible for creating a few promotional campaigns per quarter no longer makes sense in today’s fast-paced, digital world.

Today, digital marketers operate on a continuous schedule that matches the hypercompetitive online space in which we operate. Rather than create a few campaigns at a time, we are always publishing content, designing offers, and nurturing leads. As a result, successful online marketers have to analyze and identify ways to optimize their campaigns on the fly.

This means that digital marketers can no longer just be creative, right brain thinkers. Instead, successful online marketing requires a combination of left and right brain thinking -- or "analytical" and "creative" thinking. That synthesis of left and right brain thinking -- of data and content-- truly propels top notch inbound marketing.

The thinkers at HarteHanks have created the infographic featured below to showcase just how significant it is for marketers to be both data driven and creative thinkers in today’s online world.
