Background

You may have heard of the Purchasing Managersโ€™ Index, which surveys the views of the world’s paper-clip-buyers. The press often picks up on the PMI numbers eg the BBC report https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52542943.

The Marketing Managers’ Index is a survey of marketing managers in technology companies. Marketing tends to be more forward-looking (and more interesting!), and the survey results are likely to be a better predictor of business activity.
