Get your marketing spend right: How to turn your budget into a growth engine

If you ask yourself, “How much should I be spending on marketing?”, this report is for you. Packed with honest truths and actionable next steps, this guide will help you nail your budgets.

Chances are you’re one of the two out of three marketing leaders who believe they lack the budget to execute their strategy effectively. But the real problem isn’t the size of the budget, it’s that 57% of marketers are driving their process based on last year’s numbers, rather than a strategic view of what’s ahead.

This guide breaks down the uncomfortable truth about marketing budgets and gives you the necessary tools to create a budget that drives growth.

In this guide you’ll discover:

  • How to make your case: framing marketing as CapEx, explaining the unattributable funnel to a CFO, and projecting returns over three years.
  • Which budget model suits you: from percentage‑of‑revenue to zero‑based budgeting, with real‑world B2B examples.
  • Where to invest—and what to cut: focusing on high‑impact audiences, balancing brand and demand, and shaving spend that doesn’t move the needle.
  • A growth manifesto: ten rules that turn your budget into a disciplined engine for pipeline and brand power.

You’ll also get:

  • The uncomfortable truth about today’s budgets – hint, it’s to do with spreadsheets.
  • A ready-to-use template to help you create your three-year budget projection model.
  • A map to help make sure your budget allocation aligns with the level of influence each stage of the funnel has on your pipeline.

Ditch the cautious optimism and enter your next budget proposal meeting confident that it’ll go your way.
