Webtrends is currently proposing
The Digital Marketing Maturity Model (DM3) to help organizations accurately assess the effectiveness of their online marketing activities according to this
blog post at Search Engine Watch.
2009 may well be a turn-key year in respect to how businesses advertise their products and services. A study by the Chief Marketing Officer Council found that spending on
social media and
search engine optimization will exceed traditional media by 50% this year.
The DM3 model aims looks at 6 core areas in assessing online marketing efforts across all online channels - which include measurement strategy, analytics resources and domain expertise, data integration and visualization, data analysis and insight, adoption and governance and ongoing optimization.
Each of these areas is scored on a 1 to 4, low to high scale.
