Master the Marketing Way: How to Get Marketing Spend Under Management in 2016 (Part I)

Much like packaging, logistics and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO), the marketing spend category straddles the boundary between direct and indirect. And we all know that it has a substantial impact on sales and revenue.
