Insights2020 – Driving Customer-Centric Growth
Millward Brown Vermeer, ESOMAR, The Advertising Research Foundation (ARF), Kantar, and Korn Ferry
have formed a partnership to lead Insights2020 – Driving Customer-Centric Growth, a global marketing
thought leadership initiative focused on aligning insights and analytics strategy, structure and capability
to drive business growth.
Insights2020 will help business, marketing, and insights & analytics leaders to define the role of insights
and analytics in driving business strategy and growth; to build and organize the function – in terms of
structure and processes – for success; and to emulate the leadership competencies and behaviors of
over-performing organizations. Inaugural findings will be presented at the ESOMAR Global Congress in
September 2015.
Insights2020 is a follow-on study to Marketing2020 which is the largest study of its kind, helping global
CMOs align marketing strategy, structure, and capability with business growth. Marketing2020 included
contributions from more than 250 CMOs and 10,000 marketers across 92 countries and was featured in
the July-August 2014 Harvard Business Review.
