Due to the pandemic effect, the customer has moved to make his own research about the product than talking to a salesperson to know the product. This habit has forced the organization to provide the correct insights at the correct time on the right medium.

Traditionally, the CMOs were highly creative in reaching the customers through the historical data and their gut feelings. But today’s CMOs has to balance their Marketing Intelligence with their creativity to find and hold their best customer rs.

There is famous words from a wise man that,

“Challenging path is the only path that takes you ahead”
