Marketing Technology Management
For martech careers, there is a lot of really good news. But one thing that isn’t. First, thank you to the 884 professionals who participated in our 2018 Marketing Technology & Operations Salary Survey, a collaboration between myself and the team at MarTech Today. For our analysis, we filtered it down to only the n=432 […]
I love The Stackies. Seriously, this “contest” that invites marketers to send in a single slide that illustrates how they conceptualize their marketing technology stack is fascinating. It’s one of my favorite projects with the martech community. Forget the over-simplified pictures that you see from vendors, showing idealized marketing stacks as they might exist in […]
In reflecting on the “greatest hits” of chiefmartec.com over the past decade, it’s been exciting to see how many ideas that were once on the fringe of marketing have shifted into mainstream practice. For example: agile marketing, the adoption of agile management approaches from the software development profession in modern marketing. What do marketing and […]
“It’s in the way that you use it.” I’m pretty sure that would be Eric Clapton’s advice on marketing technology. While Slowhand sadly won’t be coming to the MarTech stage next month, we do have a pretty amazing line up of marketing experts, executives, and seasoned practitioners who will show you how they use it. […]
Blockchain and marketing isn’t just a punchline. Jeremy Epstein, CEO of Never Stop Marketing, a boutique marketing agency for blockchain startups, and one of the world’s foremost authorities on the adoption of blockchain and decentralized technology in advertising and marketing — and speaker at the upcoming MarTech conference too — just released the second edition […]
Happy anniversary, dear martech readers. Ten years ago, I started chiefmartec.com, with my first post in February 2008 announcing “a blog for marketing technologists.” It was shortly followed by a riff on martec being analogous to marcom, which is why my brand is chiefmartec.com — without the “h” at the end — instead of chiefmartech.com. In […]
Whew! This is the final part 5 of a five-part series, providing an update on the 5 Disruptions to Marketing as 2018 marches forward. If you have not yet read Part 1: Digital Transformation, Part 2: Microservices & APIs, Part 3: Vertical Competition, or Part 4: Digital Everything, you might want to start there. 5. […]
First: this is the last week to get the early bird rates for MarTech in San Jose, April 23-25. If you reserve your seat before this Saturday, February 10, you’ll save $500 on an all-access ticket. “Act now. Algorithmic agents are standing by.” But I’m more excited to share with you the news that we […]
That is the burning question that we’re looking to answer with the 2018 Marketing Technology & Operations Salary Survey — and I’d love to have you participate. This is a completely anonymous survey. We won’t ask for your name or email address, the names of any of your employers, or any other personally identifiable information. […]
Marketing technology, great visualizations, disruptive innovation — these are a few of my favorite things. So I was delighted when Jeremy Posvar and Todd Wells — the two fellows who shared Microsoft’s marketing tech stack in last year’s Stackies awards — reached out to share a paper they had created to help explain blockchain in […]
