Areas Levels

We’ve split each of the areas into 5 different stages, called levels, to better distinguish the organizational maturity within each area.

Level 1

The entry level for e‑commerce maturity consists of the easiest to reach tasks by a single marketer.

Level 2

The level builds upon the basics to further enhance them, yet their complexity is best managed by a marketing team.

Level 3

At this level, organizations are starting to leverage past customer data coming from multiple sources, needing multi‑departmental collaboration.

Level 4

Organizations within this level are able to use the full potential of campaigns managed by people and have a mature set of best practices.

Level 5

The highest level of maturity enables AI‑powered campaigns across various channels and uses predictive stock management to prevent churn. It is best achieved by organizations with an evolved data culture.
