Study: Marketers relying on data platforms for connection
MarTech budgets are skyrocketing as marketers try to reach the growing number of consumers moving into the digital space. But all the money in the world won’t matter if marketers don’t understand the market they are targeting. Which is why many are upping their investment in marketing tech, according to Tealium’s new data. Their researchers found the bulk (89%) of execs plan to spend more on MarTech in 2021 than they did in 2020, and 59% saying AI will be a key component.
“Now more than ever, organizations find success by connecting with their customers,” said Heidi Bullock, CMO at Tealium. “At Tealium, we’re constantly working to position the best capabilities at the forefront to help our customers better understand their customers and achieve their marketing goals.
