In the past couple of years, Southeast Asia saw accelerated growth and changes in the technology landscape due to the COVID pandemic - businesses experienced a boom in e-commerce, digital behaviors are normalized among consumers, and B2C engagement had adapted to the digital space. Now that it’s a norm for consumers to shop omnichannel and across multiple digital platforms, the next challenge for brands is to enhance consumers’ shopping experience and strengthen engagement in the future of integrated commerce.

The State of Modern Marketing in India - a report in collaboration between MMA APAC and WARC - examines how the industry is approaching these challenges, focusing on current trends and future opportunities. To drive growth in the digital age, marketing needs to modernise a specific set of capabilities and mindsets.

Findings from this study suggest that over a third (36%) of Indian marketers will spend more than 60% of their budgets on digital marketing, compared to 25% of APAC marketers overall.
