Congratulations on securing a new martech toolbox. Now what? Here's a little secret: It's less about the number of tools available than how well they are aligned to deliver results. Here's our blueprint for you: 1️⃣ Integration. Every tool in your martech stack should be effectively interconnected to provide a comprehensive overview of your customer's journey. This requires strong data exchange across all platforms using a tool like Segment. 2️⃣ Flexibility and Scalability. Your martech stack should be adaptable to accommodate your business's growth. Selecting tools that can easily adjust to your organization's evolving needs is crucial, use a tool like Braze. 3️⃣ ROI-centered. Each tool in your martech stack should fulfill a definite purpose, solving a specific problem and providing measurable results. If a tool doesn't deliver a clear return on investment, its role must be assessed. Building an effective martech stack requires strategic planning and continuous optimization. Also, remember the importance of a Customer Data Platform (#CDP) in consolidating customer data and enhancing marketing outcomes. Have you experienced a transformation in your marketing outcomes after incorporating a CDP into your #martech stack? We'd love to hear your stories. Post them in the comments below and share your experiences. If you find this helpful, please tap the 'like' button and share it with others who might benefit from it. We have a great resource on CDPs in the first comment below. Check it out 👇.

Does it feel like no matter what you do each quarter your workload with technical MOps implementations just keeps blocking you from working on more strategic projects? If so, it might be time to consider a MarTech advisor like Oasis to embed with your organisation to help with technical operations so you can focus on what you as a leader do best, applying strategy and increasing revenue. We've recently changed our model around to break away from a consultancy model and move to a more white-glove and holistic advisory approach where our clients can build their own MarTech stack during the Planning stage of their onboarding, which comes with thousands in savings on MarTech tools and services, as well as included Marketing Ops Pros "Pro" membership as part of the advisory package. After we select a tooling plan and apply your perks, we begin implementing over the course of our engagement so you can apply your focus elsewhere without having to worry about the complexities of technical implementations. If this sounds like something you'd be ecstatic to explore, you can get a instant and free proposal here: https://lnkd.in/edAkVYSf #marketingops #mops #marketing #operations #cdp #slack #proposal #technical #analytics #data #dataanalytics #firstparty #cookieless #segment #twilio #customerdata

Are you getting the most out of your MarTech stack? 91% of marketers in 2024 aren't. Yet MarTech spending is up 38% since 2020. So what's the issue? 🤔 From 400 Marketing Leaders, here are the top three reasons: 1. 41% report their MarTech ecosystem is too complex and extensive. 2. 40% report they don't have a strong customer data foundation/warehouse to enrich their technology. 3. 37% report difficulty in recruiting the right talent to drive maximized utilization. "The industry is moving too rapidly and nobody is training. You don't learn it in school and a lot of vendors don't have proper training programs to teach it." - Gartner 2023 Report So what can you do? It's ridiculously easy to justify spending on the new "best" MarTech - I know from experience. The ROI is so good on a 25% utilized MarTech stack that it's standard to forget about the other 75%. For marketing directors navigating MarTech in 2024, here's what I'd do: - Keep it modular. In the age of AI, the next best tool could drop tomorrow. Don’t be stuck taking apart your entire stack because you were too reliant on one tool. - Keep your data clean. Quarterly CRM and workflow reviews are non-negotiables. "If you don’t store the data properly, you can never get it back" - Experiment. Don't expect perfection on week one. Testing is key, even if your performance temporarily dips. - Do what’s best for YOU. The tool that doubled conversion for them might not work for you. Integrate new tools based on your objectives, resources, and existing stack. #MarTech #GrowthMarketing #DigitalMarketing

Ever been dazzled by the size of a MarTech stack? It’s like seeing a shiny toy collection. But, let’s talk about what truly matters—effectiveness. Here’s the kicker: Your MarTech stack isn’t about how many tools you have. It’s about what they can do for you. Let’s break it down: Integration Over Quantity → A smaller, wellintegrated stack can outperform a large, fragmented one. ↳ Why? Because seamless data flow trumps scattered insights. User Adoption → A stack is only as good as its users. ↳ Are your teams using these tools effectively? ROI Focused → Each tool should demonstrate clear ROI. ↳ Are you seeing tangible benefits? Scalability → Can your stack grow with your business? ↳ Or are you just adding more noise? Support & Training → Continuous support and training are vital. ↳ Without it, even the best tools fail. So, how do you ensure your MarTech stack is truly effective? 🔍 Regular Audits: → Review your tools periodically. ↳ Are they delivering as promised? 👥 User Feedback: → Listen to your team. ↳ Are they struggling or thriving with the tools? 📊 Performance Metrics: → Track key metrics. ↳ Are you hitting your KPIs? Remember: A lean, effective stack can drive better results than a bloated one. It’s not the size that matters, but the impact it delivers. What’s your experience with MarTech stacks?

We have all been victims of a seemingly-endless martech stack—so many programs, so little time. ⏰ While it is important to have tools that can easily digest data and deliver communications seamlessly, finding the perfect martech stack can definitely be overwhelming. If your team is currently (or soon to be) evaluating your next potential customer communication solution, we recommend using these questions to help decide what might be best for your team: 🧮 Data: Will the platform complement my existing stack? 🧑🎨 Design: What can I do within the platform? 📬 Delivery: Does the platform enable a cohesive customer journey across channels? 🧑💻 Optimization: Does the platform continuously optimize campaigns to deliver value?
