Stop the cascade before it stalls your strategy
Rising expectations from the CEO, CFO, and CIO are landing squarely on your shoulders. This is the pressure cascade. And without the right market intelligence and buyer insights, it doesn’t just slow momentum, it fractures strategy and execution.
IDC helps marketing leaders turn this pressure into performance with the clarity, data, and direction to lead with confidence.
Introducing the Chief Market Officer
Your role isn’t just evolving, it’s being redefined. Marketing leaders are becoming Chief Market Officers, strategically driving customer acquisition, aligning brand and revenue, and offering critical market insights to the C-suite. Embrace this expanded role and leverage the market intelligence you need to excel.
Leading through change: Capitalizing on growth in the AI technology shift
AI has changed your buyer, your strategy, and the expectations placed on you by your C-suite. At the same time, your product has evolved—AI is now core to your value proposition. But in a market crowded with similar claims, differentiation requires more than feature lists. Our eBook shows you how to recalibrate your go-to-market (GTM) strategy or realign execution using trusted technology intelligence.
Strategy vs. execution: Where are you now?
The AI technology shift is real, reshaping buyer behavior, C-suite expectations, and the pace of competition. However, not everyone starts from the same point.
Some marketing leaders are still trying to define the right GTM strategy for a product infused with AI. Others have that strategy in place but are struggling to execute with precision. This is your moment to assess where you are and take the next step forward.

Strategy-focused
Challenge: You’re under pressure to lead, but the path isn’t clear. You lack the buyer intelligence and market clarity to differentiate your AI-enabled solution confidently.
What you need: Credible market data, competitive benchmarks, and insight into what your buyers care about so you can build a strategy that leads.

Execution-focused
Challenge: You’ve built the framework, but traction is stalling. Your content isn’t landing. Sales and partners aren’t carrying the message. Conversion isn’t keeping up with the effort.
What you need: Sharper messaging, tighter alignment with sales, and the tools to turn intent into performance, at scale, and with urgency.
