91% of marketers are leading or involved in with driving organization-wide innovation. These marketing leaders are allocating a significant portion of their overall budget to include innovation as part of their marketing strategy; making innovation a well-funded and quickly-maturing initiative. Despite the progress, obstacles remain — most notably, risk-averse corporate cultures.
