The study found around 69% of marketing leaders are still developing or further defining their CX strategies. Around 40% of respondents believe it will take their organisations well over a year to offer ideal customer experiences.
14% of marketers also believe they are still more than 18 months away from accessing ideal data science capabilities that are required to offer the idea CX. For 65% of respondents, the biggest challenge is connecting siloed data or content.
