by Shar VanBoskirk

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Marketers are far from mastering the performance and integration of interactive channels. To mature, they should use Forrester's interactive marketing maturity model to classify their firms into one of four levels: Skeptics, Experimenters, Practitioners, or Conductors. Best practices for maturing will vary by phase. Still, in order to move gradually from one level of maturity to the next, all marketers should benchmark their maturity against industry peers, promote internal interactive successes, and adopt new technologies when they resonate with business objectives and customer behavior.

Forrester's interactive marketing maturity model is based on a quantitative study and segmentation conducted early in 2008 with 333 interactive marketers from companies with 200 employees or more. The model was further vetted through interviews with marketers in varied levels of maturity, providers of marketing technology and services, and media firms.
