The Marketing Maturity Model™

Four levels of marketing maturity, from Laggard to Leader, scored on how well your marketing fits the way industrial buyers and answer engines actually work now.

Most industrial marketing was built for a search and form fill world that is going away. The Marketing Maturity Model is an honest read on how far your marketing has moved toward the way buyers actually research today, and where it is still spending on a market that no longer exists.

Levels of marketing maturity, from Laggard to Leader

Score yourself, or have your marketing and leadership teams score it separately and compare where they disagree.

Most marketing budgets are still built for a market that no longer exists.

Buyers are most of the way through their research before they ever contact a company, and a growing share of that research now ends inside an AI answer instead of on your site. Marketing built to win clicks and capture forms is measuring the wrong thing.

The Marketing Maturity Model reads the function honestly rather than by last quarter's lead count. Laggard marketing still runs the old playbook and reports on traffic. Leader marketing is built to be the source answer engines cite and the material a buying committee forwards internally.

Scoring it changes the conversation from how many leads did we get to whether the marketing is built for how buying actually happens now, and which two or three moves close the gap first.
