CHICAGO, March 01, 2018 -- BrandMuscle, a high-tech marketing innovator empowering local businesses with big-brand marketing, has released its highly-anticipated fourth annual State of Local Marketing Report that exposes emerging trends in the brand-to-local marketing industry.

Trends in Marketing Tactics Demonstrate the Need for Precision Marketing

The report has a rich tradition of analyzing key trends that impact marketing leaders, serving as a yearly barometer of wins and opportunities in local marketing.

“The State of Local Marketing Report is truly the only one of its kind,” said Paul Elliott, BrandMuscle’s President, Consumer Brands. “By comparing year-over-year survey results and highlighting emerging trends and insights, we are able to generate prescriptive advice that routinely helps some of the world’s largest brands maximize their strategies for local marketing success.”

This year’s State of Local Marketing Report:

• Includes insights based on 2,700+ survey responses from local business partners
• Analyzes 150K+ data points on local and channel marketing and hundreds of millions of dollars of co-op/MDF and local marketing investments made by national brands since 2011
• Introduces the concept of precision marketing and the impact it will have on brands
• Examines how brands and their local business partners can effectively scale and maximize their marketing spend, ensuring they do not waste a dollar
• Cross references survey responses with an analysis of corporate co-op spending to showcase where marketing dollars are being spent and proving most effective

This year, in tandem with the State of Local Marketing comes the release of BrandMuscle’s new mobile app, BrandMuscle Insider, an interactive experience designed to supplement the report, providing videos and case studies to the reader.
