On June 21, the Metro New York CMO Shared Interest Group gathered for a discussion on “Making the Business Case for Marketing Operations,” by Calibrate Legal’s Gordon Braun-Woodbury and Jennifer Johnson Scalzi. Gordon and Jenn discussed the emerging discipline of marketing operations, how it seeks to increase marketing/BD efficiency and organizational agility, and how law firm marketing professionals – which they refer to as “revenue enablers” can measure its effect on revenue growth.

Attendees reviewed the results of Calibrate Legal’s latest research study, which benchmarked how North American and UK law firms measure up against seven dimensions of marketing operations effectiveness, including: business alignment and accountability, performance management, data, Business Processes, revenue enablement, systems and technology, and talent and knowledge.
Many thanks to Jay Linder, Kelly Ann Cummings and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton for hosting the event.
