Boots CMO Pete Markey: We Need A Step Change In Marketing Performance Measurement

23 Nov, 2022

The marketing industry should improve measurement of marketing performance as a priority and embrace initiatives such ISBA’s Origin project, says Pete Markey, Boots’ CMO.

The marketing industry must up its measurement game, according to Boots CMO Pete Markey.

Speaking to MAD//Insight as part of our MAD//Minute Manifestos series in partnership with THE FIFTH, Markey said that there are gaps in measurement that should be addressed as a priority.

“I'd like to see an overall improvement in measurability of marketing performance. I think projects like Origin from ISBA are really exciting. There's too many things you can't connect and measure. I'm constantly talking to stakeholders in a business like Boots, explaining what we do, and how we measure our marketing. I'd love to see a step change and improvement in how you measure and connect that ecosystem of marketing performance and measurement. My hope is that ISBA and Origin are part of the answer.”
