The Revenue Blueprint categorizes respondents into three groups: Baseline Marketers, who achieve consistent results using widely accepted marketing practices; Performance-Obsessed Marketers, who deliver results across key metrics through innovative tactics and cutting-edge technology; and Revenue Leaders, a subset of Performance-Obsessed Marketers who use optimal resources, tools, and investments to drive significant growth within high-revenue organizations. By observing the differences across these groups, the report shares how industry leaders can elevate their strategies in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

"Marketers today are expected to not only deliver immediate results, but also build meaningful, long-term connections with customers. That balance requires a deep understanding of customer needs and the ability to engage with them at the right moments," said Mark Lodwick, Director of Brand Experience at Intuit Mailchimp. "Your tools and how you deploy them can make all the difference. And marketers that lean on AI to power personalization, optimize customer journeys, and offload basic tasks are seeing strong results."

Four Revenue Pillars Marketers Must Embrace for Success and Business Growth

• Email’s enduring relevance: Almost two-thirds of marketers name email as the foundation of their marketing strategy, with 59% acknowledging the decline of search. Top marketers differentiate themselves by using email throughout the entire funnel, applying advanced tactics and integrating email with SMS to reach customers effectively. 87% of Performance-Obsessed Marketers report that email is their top channel for generating awareness.
• Automation and the customer journey: While nearly all marketers use automation to manage email, 89% of Revenue Leaders automate nearly the entire customer journey—from initial contact to post-purchase engagement. This approach appears to be part of a winning strategy: Revenue Leaders also reported greater customer satisfaction, stronger brand awareness, and a higher return on investment in comparison to their peers.
• Data-powered personalization: There’s a technology knowledge gap driving sizable differences in data utilization between Baseline Marketers and top-performing marketers. Only 39% of Baseline Marketers use customer data platforms, compared to 57% of Performance-Obsessed Marketers and 64% of Revenue Leaders. And almost half of Revenue Leaders leverage data platforms for hyper-personalized interactions and predictive analytics, which may explain their higher engagement, loyalty, and conversion rates compared to other marketers.
• Investing in AI to drive business outcomes: Although 74% of total respondents use AI, findings show that Revenue Leaders leverage AI more effectively than other marketer groups by using it as a strategic assistant, combining generative and analytical AI to maximize outcomes. While Baseline and Performance-Obsessed Marketers primarily see efficiency and brand awareness gains, Revenue Leaders say AI has unlocked additional benefits like higher order values and increased customer lifetime value.

The Revenue Blueprint provides actionable insights for building smarter campaigns. By adopting the strategies of today’s leaders, marketers can better anticipate customer needs, build loyalty, and drive future growth.
