Managing the MarTech Stack
“A majority of the Digital Marketing professionals we surveyed are unable to fully utilize the MarTech solutions they have integrated,” said Gianna Scorsone, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales Operations for Mondo. “It has become increasingly more complex to organize and manage an effective MarTech stack that is focused on driving ROI and developed targeted customer experiences.”
According to the Mondo survey, 19 percent of businesses reported that they do not have anyone explicitly in charge of their MarTech stack, making it challenging to manage.
Scorsone added, “Failing to have a C-level role in charge of strategic MarTech decisions can lead to an ineffective stack, misuse of budget, and reduced ROI. We’ve seen that hiring a Chief Marketing Technologist to own the complexity of the ever-evolving MarTech stack helps an organization make much more effective use of their MarTech solutions.”
The Mondo survey is based on responses from more than 10,000 digital marketing professionals.
