Perhaps unsurprisingly, personal recommendations are the most trusted form of communication at 81%. Worryingly, this is the only form trusted by more than 60% of respondents.
Nielsen’s EVP of marketing effectiveness for Europe, Terrie Brennan says "While advertisers have started to follow consumers online, about a third of online advertising campaigns don’t work – they don’t generate awareness or drive any lift in purchase intent,…More than ever, consumers are in control of how they consume content and interact with brands, so understanding ad resonance across screens is now the only way to successfully drive memorability and brand lift.”

Or will we use it to catalyze and amplify the imagination that makes us uniquely human and that could identify entirely new avenues to create fundamentally new sources of value?"

Proof, if any were needed, of the importance of measuring marketing performance with financial metrics to establish effectiveness. The lack of attention to customer value propositions – 74% of marketers in the analysis by Fournaise, is worrying too.
