“In the past decade, what marketers do to engage customers
has changed almost beyond recognition.”
“Tools and strategies that were cutting-edge just a few years
ago are fast becoming obsolete, and new approaches are
appearing every day.”
“Yet in most companies the organizational structure of the
marketing function hasn’t changed since the practice of brand
management emerged, more than 40 years ago.”

“Much like newspapers, conventional advertising agencies are
becoming irrelevant. When one person with a wireless connection
can be an agency, a media company, or even a manufacturer,
traditional advertising organizations have to change their culture,
processes, structure, talent policies, resources, and even their
business and revenue models in order to embrace the power of
open systems being fueled by digital connectivity. The old agency
businesses may still have time to correct their course, but they must
start now.”

Marketing leaders instead must ask, “What
values and goals guide our brand strategy, what
capabilities drive marketing excellence, and what
structures and ways of working will support
them?” Structure must follow strategy–not the
other way around.”
