How the marketing budget calculator works?

  1. Select your industry, enter annual revenue, and choose the percentage of revenue you want to invest in marketing.
  2. The calculator estimates your total marketing budget based on the details you provide.
  3. Your total marketing budget is split into recommended digital and offline allocations.
  4. Recommendations are based on CMO Survey, Gartner benchmarks, and our team’s expertise.
  5. Use the slider to adjust digital and offline allocation. If it falls outside benchmarks, you’ll see a note.
  6. Request your budget by email or contact us for a detailed discussion and tailored marketing strategy.
