The Modern Marketing Reckoner Report 2021 was developed to help businesses move forward and gain leverage in the online marketing industry. It will provide valuable insights on the latest modern marketing strategies, as well as comprehensive coverage on topics including how to plan for post-IDFA mobile marketing strategies, the role of the rising e-sport industry for marketers, cashless society, and the new era of programmatic mobile video advertising.

The MMA & WARC report summarises the Indonesia findings of our latest APAC modern marketing survey, which assesses how advertisers and agencies are using, and planning to use mobile as a part of their marketing strategy. It focuses on the critical areas which need to be taken into account by advertisers, including the importance of social, the impact of commerce on the use of mobile, the challenges being faced and the future of mobile technology.

Over the time that WARC has carried out this survey with the MMA, the role of mobile in the arsenal of marketers has grown significantly. Today, more than two in three marketers are incorporating a mobile-first approach in their marketing. As smartphone technology becomes more and more sophisticated, marketing professionals have needed to increase both investment and focus on improving digital and mobile competences.

Consumer journeys are becoming more complex and non-linear, and the role of digital is becoming more prominent across the journey. As a result, this festive season will require marketers to rethink their media strategies in order to be successful. 

MMA India has co-authored an exclusive playbook with GroupM and Amazon Advertising on “Decoding Consumer behaviour for Winning the 2021 Festive season”.

This is a first of its kind industry report/playbook that deep dives into how consumer behaviour is changing across the eCommerce value chain, the report throws light on the critical aspects as below in greater detail:

1. Market landscape
2. Pre-purchase Trends & Insights
3. Channel Choice

Data is focal to business hence it's key for marketers to understand the evolving data landscape, winning data strategies to drive better business outcomes and customer experiences.

MMA has collaborated with EY in a study which has inputs from over 150 marketers across India, to create an industry-first valuable go-to resource to reveal how marketers use consumer data, measure ROI, ensure governance and build data capabilities.

Over the time that WARC has carried out this survey with the MMA, the role of mobile in the arsenal of marketers has grown significantly. As smartphone technology becomes more and more sophisticated, the line between the mobile medium and the rest of the online media mix is increasingly blurred. This blurring means the distinction between mobile and the rest of digital is hard to make, leading to fewer respondents this year labelling their strategy as ‘mobile-first’ and only 22% having a separate mobile marketing budget. 

As more businesses continue to invest in MarTech solutions, and the Indonesian marketing landscape continues to evolve, it is crucial for marketers to identify trends and best practices that will help them accelerate business growth. 

In line with MMA’s mission to continuously enlighten, empower and enable marketers to shape the future of modern marketing, we have developed the MMA Indonesia MarTech Report 2021. It includes valuable insights into Indonesia’s MarTech landscape, delving into topics such as advertising and promotion, content and experience, and commerce and sales.
