A6: #cxo To prep for continuous #bigdataexplosion, tomorrow's & today's marketer needs to learn how to search/drill into it rapidly.
A5: #cxo Science is inherently creative exercise, as is marketing. The fit--via data/anaytics--is natural. Enabling new experience patterns
A5: Data forces the art in a campaign to be relevant. It forces creative to think harder. It forces media team to be more relevant #cxo

A5: #cxo Campaign mgmt is where art & science of #marketing"get married." Design is a (human) art. Optimization is (data/analytic) science
A4: #cxo Buy-in for data-driven marketing must come from execs (who may be oldschool), not "creatives" (they're already on-board)

MT @thecxguy let's not forget that the "gut" of an engaged, experience professional is a significant data point. #cxo
Retweeted by jameskobielus
A3: #cxo Regular, data-driven customer segmentation analysis is essential so that your "gut" doesnt continually stereotype & pigeonhole them
A3: #cxo Marketers should continually explore, "eyeball,"& play with the data. Build & test stat models. That's continual "gut enhancemt."
A2: #cxo A blanket repudiation of #bigdataanalytics over "seat of pants" decision making is ill-advised. Received wisdom can be wrongheaded
A2: #cxo Data analytics helps you validate, adjust, & correct your gut instinct based on what hard facts reveal. Best #mktg is self-critical
A2: #cxo Gut instinct is what #mktgmust have to identify the #cxquestions to answer & the #bigdataanalytics needed to answer it.
A2: #cxo Not all analytics is equally useful. #Mktg should have gut instinct for which data analytics best suited to the challenge at hand
A1: #cxo Every new productivity tool requires ramp-up of skills to use creativity. Many hi-powrd #mktg pros have already ramped on analytics
@IBMbigdata a1) I think analytics gives direction to marketeers and helps channelize their creativity to the right audiences #cxo
