    Is Agile Marketing a Productivity Booster or Buzzword?

    Andrea Fryrear Andrea Fryrear


    It’s likely you’ve heard the term ‘agile marketing’ at least once today. It’s a hot topic in marketing circles and it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere soon; either you’re using it, thinking of using it, or perhaps, you’re in that group who just doesn’t quite get it.

    Recently Screendragon, a leading cloud-based project, resource, and workflow management solution, contacted me to share the results of a survey they conducted on agile marketing.

    Disappointingly, as much as 38% of the 300 marketing and agency professionals surveyed said they only have a vague idea of the meaning of agile marketing. In addition, 9% said agile marketing is just another buzzword (I suspect they'll feel silly about this response in another year or so).

    To get some more interesting insights on the state of agile marketing as perceived by marketing and agency professionals, check out Screendragon’s infographic below.

    Screendragon surveyed 300 marketing and agency professionals, ranging from CMO’s to Account Directors and Marketing Managers in 2016.
