Based on the feedback from the brands we work with, we were able to identify the top 5 challenges for eCommerce and digital marketing directors.
With no surprise, the most common challenge was trying to stay up to date on digital marketing trends in an ever-evolving industry — the rapid rate of new technologies and new platforms really speaks to the necessity of focusing on the right sources of information so as to keep up with trends and ultimately maximize your return on investment (ROI).
