Direction(Q.No:16-25) : Read the following passage carefully and answer tne
question given. Certain words/phrases nave been given in bold to help you locate
them while answering some of the questions
C
It is 8 am and the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) is wading through his
Sr

inbox. A board member has e-mailed him about an opportunity to invest in an

emerging digital platform. It looks lucrative, but speculative and expensive.
Minutes later the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) appears in the doorway: “The
boss wants to sign a big sponsorship deal. Can we drop out of TV for a couple of
months to pay for it?” The CMO has barely started to explain what happened the
last time the company went dark on TV-an aggressive rival grabbed market share-
when his assistant interrupts. The CEO is calling “What’s going on with our brand
C
image?” she asks “The latest monitor report looks bad “ The CMO promises a full
debriefing later in the day. but he’s not looking forward to the conversation.
Brand scores are down and the reasons are tough to manage: factors-such as bad
experiences with intermediary retailers and mediocre word of mouth
The number and strength of such competing pressures has been growing.
Seven years ago when digital advertising was still in its infancy and long before
social media had become a marketing force many traditional mass-marketing
advertising models were under attack and experts suggested some approaches to
make marketing investments count in an increasingly complex environment. Since
then, we have been fortunate enough to see more than 200 organisations tackle
the difficult issue of how to improve marketing’s Return on Investment (ROI) Over
that period as new kinds of media have grown in importance and mobile
communications have created new opportunities to reach consumers the ROI
challenge has become more intense.

2
Sreedhar’s CCE SB I CLERK PRELI M S M T-145

In the face of growing complexity, relentless financial pressure and a still-

challenging economic environment, marketers are striving to exploit new-media
vehicles and to measure their impact through new analytic approaches and tools.
Most are making progress Yet we are consistently struck by the power of asking
seemingly basic questions These questions cut to the heart of the quest to drive
returns on marketing spending Coming to grips with in them and gaining alignment
across the C-suite {the senior most in a company) are critical for making real

r’s
progress rather than becoming bogged down by excessive fire-fighting and
ultimately futile debates about the precision and certainty of measurement
The digital revolution and the explosion of social media have profoundly
changed what influences consumers as they undertake their purchasing decision
ha
journey When considering products, they read online reviews and compare prices.
Once in stores they search for deals with mobile devices and drive hard bargains.
And after the purchase they become reviewers themselves and demand ongoing

E
relationships with products and brands. Although companies have access to
d
terabytes of data about these behavioural changes many still cannot answer the
fundamental question: how exactly are our customers influenced ?
Time and time again we find that companies are aware of the growing
ee

importance of touch points such as earned media (free media) but do not
understand the true magnitude of their effects or how to influence them The
C
solution is usually to commission research that gets at the heart of understanding
the consumer’s decision journey Such foundational work must shine a light on
Sr

the touch points and messages that actually influence consumer behaviour.
Marketers must be ready to use the findings to debunk accepted wisdom and
legacy rules of thumb. In today’s fragmented media world, only by knowing the
way how consumers interact with your company has evolved can you begin to
make more cost-effective marketing investments that truly influence purchase
C
decisions
Marketing has always combined facts and judgment: after all there’s no
analytic approach that can single-handedly tell you when you have a great piece
of creative work A decade ago when traditional advertising was all that mattered,
most senior marketers justifiably had great confidence in their judgment on
spending and messaging. Today many privately confess to being less certain That’s
hardly surprising: marketers have been perfecting the TV playbook for decades,
while some of the newest marketing platforms have been around for months or
even weeks But it can be tough to admit publicly that your judgment is incomplete
or out-of-date. And given the money required it’s hard both to make a rational
investment case for additional marketing spending and-in the same breath-to
admit that you are really making a passionate guess.

3
Sreedhar’s CCE SB I CLERK PRELI M S M T-145

Marketers often hear that the answer to improving their judgment in this
rapidly changing environment is data and some companies have sophisticated
analytical tools. Yet it’s difficult to integrate all of this information in a way that
not only provides answers that you trust but can also inform smart marketing
changes. We counsel a return to what creates great marketing judgment: start
by formulating hypotheses about the impact of changes to your marketing mix
and then seek analytical evidence

Direction(Q.No:26-30) : In the given passage there are blanks, each of which has
been numbered. Against each five words are suggested, one of which fits the
d
blank appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each case.
When the meltdown struck everyone was forced to confront the concept of
‘loo big to fail”- the idea that some banks are so large and so integral to the
ee

economy that they must be bailed out at any cost to avert systemic catastrophe.
Crisis after crisis seems to indicate that a simpler bank is a safer bank. (26) the
banking lobby in the US has spent hundreds of millions of dollars resisting
C
regulatory efforts to (27) down the size and the complexity of banking operations.
Sr

This is because such regulations may require them to focus (28) on lower profit
lending to businesses that create jobs rather than risky but far more profitable
trading. Sadly banks are just as (29) and global and even bigger than they were
before the meltdown in part due to the (30) of uniform international standards
which means that there is still no way to wind down global financial institutions.
We need to put in place firewalls and now financial rules to make the financial
systems safe and reduce the risks to everyone.
