Curious behaviours in modern marketing teams
Creativebrief research reveals major opportunity for brands to drive marketing impact through cultivating internal cultures of curiosity
In a survey which gathered insight from over 50 brand CMOs and Marketing Directors, we reveal a disconnect.
Despite a strong collective belief that curiosity is an essential trait for the modern marketer, this is not reflected consistently in adopted behaviours that set the conditions for it to thrive. There is a clear challenge faced by marketers to narrow this gap for the future.
This report builds an up-to-date picture on senior brand marketers’ beliefs around curiosity alongside the actual behaviours in marketing teams today.
The research was featured in the trade press.
"Instilling a culture of curiosity a challenge for marketing chiefs, says report"
"Despite widespread agreement that curiosity drives better marketing performance, few senior leaders are actively fostering a culture that encourages it."
"Charlie Carpenter, chief executive of Creativebrief, said, “The results of this research lay bare the challenges facing marketing leaders today. A lack of time and resource, competing organisational priorities and individual personal motivation are cited as the key barriers to enabling the conditions for curiosity to thrive—but marketing leadership teams must now begin to find a solution."
