U.S. DMers Lag in Some Data Tasks

Where do U.S. marketers stand in terms of data sophistication?

They’re ahead of their global counterparts in technical knowledge but trail in other areas, including a surprising one: list and data purchasing, according to a new survey by Alterian.

That chore was described as a headache by 41% of all U.S. marketers polled, compared with 32% for the United Kingdom and European Union and 37% for companies worldwide.

How can that be when the United States has such a robust list industry?
