Online measurement and strategy from Econsultancy/Lynchpin 

We have also included plenty of own stats in the latest update. For example, our recent research with web analytics consultancy Lynchpin looks at online measurement and strategy trends among in-house marketers as well as agencies across a range of global markets.

Our study with Lynchpin found that 19% of agencies say their clients have a company-wide strategy that ties data collection and analysis to business objectives, up from 15% in 2012. 

Data and analytics is certainly becoming an important investment for businesses, according to agencies.

Responsys worked with us on the recent Marketing Budgets 2013 report, some of which will also be of interest to strategy and operations fans.

Both in-house marketers and agencies are seeing increases in digital marketing budgets.
