[Article] How Use Cases Provide Structure for Your Martech

Have you ever bought a piece of martech for one feature, only to never expand its use beyond that? If so, you're not alone!

[Article] 3 Real World Use Cases That Make the Most of Your Tech

Having a solid tech stack isn’t enough to ensure your success. You need to know how to put it into action, including how it all works together. There is likely the “the way we’ve always done it” vs the “here’s how we can do it better” conversation. And as we know, change is hard.

[Article] Adding Relevance to Your Campaigns with Personalization

Personalization goes beyond adding a customer’s first name to a headline. Rather, it’s about creating a completely unique experience that provides value to their specific use case.

How to move from siloed technology to an integrated ecosystem

Defining roles and responsibilities begins with breaking down the two kinds of MarTech councils that your business should have in place and the responsibilities that each should take on. Once you have your MarTech council and MarTech committee in place, you’ll be in a better position to audit your technology, eliminate silos, and make the best use of the technology you already own.
