The digital marketing landscape is evolving at a fast pace--for the better. Marketers who are equipped with the right tools and skills have a greater chance of success than previous years. According to Hubspot's, State of Inbound, "[d]emonstrating ROI is the #1 challenge marketers face." Opportunities for success increase in a large part because of better data, improved targeting, integration capabilities between tools, ROI reporting capabilities, and a purchase process that increasingly migrates to online sources.
