Recession winners and losers

The UK’s Chartered Institute of Marketing has just published it survey that gives a measure of how UK marketers are thinking about the future. Bottom line – not with much enthusiasm.

The most interesting thing was their opinion on the types of marketing activity they expect to be using more/less in the coming 12 months.

The winners - in order
Online (whatever that means)
E-mail
CRM
PR

The losers - in order
Advertising
Sponsorship
Internal marketing (whatever that is)

From talking to guys in media agencies I reckon that CIM has got it right about the main winner. Online is doing well - for now. Dick Stroud
