Top Marketing Goals and Challenges for 2014 [INFOGRAPHIC]

What goals and challenges are top-of-mind for marketers as they’re planning for 2014? Mobile marketing and measuring ROI are two big ones, according to this week’s infographic.

It’s based on a recent survey by Web Marketing 1|2|3, where more than 500 B2C and B2B marketers were asked about their top objectives, budget priorities, and biggest obstacles in the new year. The survey even ferreted out their most-hated buzzwords (“Synergy” and “KPI” made the list).

Some key stats on what’s shaping next year’s marketing plans:

Top objectives:

    40% of B2C marketers say driving sales
    42% of B2B marketers say generating leads

Top challenges:

    33% don’t know which digital channel generates the most revenue
