CHICAGO, Dec. 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cardinal Path, an independent digital data and analytics firm, today released a report on the use of digital marketing analytics and tag management solutions within the top 500 online retailers.

"The complexity of the marketing technology landscape has exploded and marketers have to think about everything from data management platforms and ad networks to retargeting and conversion tools," says John Hossack, co-founder and President of Cardinal Path. "Analytics platforms are evolving to help marketers manage this complexity and activate their data."

The State of Digital Marketing Analytics in the Top 500 Online Retailers provides an overview of the dominant analytics platforms across the world's leading ecommerce organizations.

The report also details the use of tag management solutions, with some surprising findings. "Tag management solutions are widely considered an industry best practice, and in a group of high-volume retailers, we would expect to see a much higher number of tag managers deployed," says Hossack.
