Editor's Notes

• #3: There is a lot of noise out there…… It is very hard for marketers to wonder what is going on What is information they need to know and what is going to help them
• #4: Lumascapes were launched to make sense of an increasingly complex ecosystem This however, is already a simplified view of marketing tech The segments were reasonably well defined and the technology mainly stuck to core functions
• #5: Then things got a little more complicated We had different segments, but also different ecosystems (Search, social, display etc)
• #6: And then things just ridiculous! Marketing technology landscape: Vast (there are now 11 lumascapes). Marketers are using multiple platforms to solve the wide variety of complex marketing tasks Multiple tech ecosystems, categories, segments, and NEW emerging categories every year Confusion on category differences and benefits The range of tech provider is increasing at pace, but there is also consolidation and acquisitions by larger players The growth is fuelled by marketers needing technology which solve problems existing providers have failed to address REFERENCE TO PETE’S OWN EXPERIENCE IN BUILDING BRIGHTER OPTION IN ‘SOCIAL’ LUMASCAPE’
• #7: And ultimately all these companies are trying to solve this problem This is a little old, but sums up the situation for many marketers and the problem of knowing your ROI The reality is that despite the explosion of marketing tech providers, most marketers still don’t know the real ROI from their marketing. Adobe are one of a number of marketing tech vendors trying to solve the ‘marketing ROI’ issue, by giving marketing access to ‘smarter data’

• #13: The future of marketing tech is platforms that truly integrate with CRM and bridge the data knowledge gap between activity and sales Customer Service is the first line of marketing All linked now, better understanding of customers leads to a better ability to acquire new ones CMO suddenly in the middle of all facets of a business CMO’s, not sales are becoming the gate keepers of CRM If you want to Turn insight into action – you HAVE TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CRM
• #14: The big marketing tech vendors realise that CRM is the critical central component in a ‘marketing tech stack’ This is why they’ve been acquiring technology vendors to build out their solution These are purchases made since 2011 – and they’re all either marketing, sales or customer orientated tech They all feed into CRM as the core
• #16: Its a combination of both data and environment You can have good data, but if you don’t get to the right person, when they need it – then it’s not much use There is big a difference between good data and smart data Companies that create smarter data are the ones that identify the right data and make sure it’s in the hands of the person that needs it, when they need it.
