Would a company launch a major television campaign if the CEO had never watched TV? Never Heard Of It This is of course a situation that is most acute in B2B, where White Horse found that 60% of companies either have low executive interest in social media, or have modest interest but a lack of education.

Digital marketing isn’t about campaigns, it’s about waterfalls. When I ran an agency, I put just as much stock in prospective employees’ Excel abilities as I did in their Word, Powerpoint, or Photoshop skills. Adjust Staffing and Timelines.
