In October of 2014, Forbes Insights and Turn surveyed more than 300 US marketing executives and found that marketers proactive in leveraging data-driven marketing were “three times more likely than laggards to report achieving competitive advantage in customer engagement/loyalty (74% vs. 24%) and almost three times more likely to have increased revenues (55% vs. 20%).”
