To capture and maintain a competitive edge, businesses need to continually evaluate their marketing and communication practices to ensure alignment with the greater vision and tap into new opportunities – especially in an age with rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and other technologies.  

To help companies examine these practices, Aker Ink CEO Andrea Aker authored an article for Forbes Business Council highlighting when and how to audit their campaigns.  

“Consistent audits are essential for high-performing marketing programs, as people, offerings and technologies are constantly changing,” Andrea wrote.
