After fifteen years advising clients as a Fractional CMO and teaching social media at Rutgers Business School, I have learned that a marketing decision is only as good as the data underneath it. Bad data wastes budget. Worse, it sends you confidently in the wrong direction. So every figure below is current and pulled from the original source, not a roundup. These 25…
