Closed-Loop Marketing Solution

Seamless integration of planning, budgeting, spending, campaign orchestration, and performance to achieve more cost-efficient marketing

Planning, executing, and tracking marketing campaigns can be challenging, especially when multiple brands and different markets are involved. Budgets are limited and must be managed wisely. Deloitte’s Closed-Loop Marketing Solution ensures enhanced decision-making and operations through integrated financial management and marketing automation. Built with the capabilities of Anaplan’s financial planning platform and Adobe’s Experience Cloud, this single-source solution enables best-in-class closed-loop processes to achieve more cost-efficient marketing.

Companies fail to connect the dots on spending and marketing activity

Today’s marketing relies upon significant coordination across organizational functions, processes, and platforms. Siloed data, disconnected processes and technology, and missing analytics capabilities can impact CMOs’ abilities to maximize marketing effectiveness, increase revenue, meet compliance standards, and optimize spending.

Running campaigns for multiple products and services in different markets can be an arduous task—especially when planning, execution, and controlling are not connected or automated. Detached tools and manual workflows frequently prevent transparent budget management and faster time-to-market. Many organizations therefore struggle to run marketing programs efficiently and track ROI and performance end-to-end for full cost control and elevated campaign effectiveness.
