Marketers' Outlook for 2012 - results and analysis

Campaign Asia-Pacific and Ipsos MediaCT's Marketers Outlook 2012 has three fundamental research objectives; to gauge business performance for 2011; to understand the outlook for 2012 in terms of business performance and marketing investment; and to evaluate current trends in marketing actions and strategies.

In your opinion, what will be the key marketing issues/challenges for marketers in 2012?

What media channels do you use and how would you describe their role in your marketing communications plan for 2012?
