Zero-Based Marketing (ZBM) Value Proposition

OYO.Digital Solutions are Constructed around ZBM principles

“…Zero-Based Marketing is a comprehensive approach that extends Zero-Based Budgeting principles to marketing categories across the enterprise – it can uncover opportunities for savings worth 10 to 25% of spending in certain categories, and these funds can be reallocated to higher-value areas.” for companies to reassess their level of marketing spending, where costs are allocated, and ROI by category.

Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail

ZBM @ the center of all your marketing budget planning, cost, and performance improvement efforts

Companies are increasingly tying the role of marketing directly to real business outcomes, putting CMOs and marketing leadership teams under immense pressure to perform and be held accountable for overall business growth.

With the complexities of today, optimization cannot be achieved in corporate silos. We cannot rely on yesterday’s results to guide today’s or tomorrow’s actions. Once your organization adopts ZBM, you will be equipped to make fact-based, data-driven decisions that boost sales, reduce waste, and accelerate improvement year after year. ZBM approach simply requires marketers to re-examine their current practices and processes and to “zero out” those practices and processes that are not working. ZBM offers an enormous opportunity to provide a more intelligent framework to find, message, and engage new business prospects and to more effectively enable growth (arguably the most important aspect).

 

Why ZBM is a Viable Post-Pandemic Option Worth Considering?
