The most common approach senior marketers take for setting their marketing budget is to create a yearly budget based on the previous year's expenses, according to recent research from The CMO Survey. Other approaches include building the budget from scratch every year, setting it as a percentage of projected revenue, and resetting the budget every month or quarter.
Senior marketers expect their marketing budgets to increase 13%, on average, in the next 12 months, with B2B services firms expecting 17% growth and B2B product firms expecting 11%. The report was based on a survey of 2,791 senior marketers.
