MarTech Quote-of-the-Week!
AI is going to be a critical element of any tech stack – the ability to analyze data and understand where individual customers are at in their journeys is extremely important in successful empathetic marketing. Moreover, teams will want to look for technology that is collaborative and can offer holistic views of customers and prospects by drawing data from different areas of the business as needed; helping ensure you’re surfacing the right offer to your customer and maintaining a healthy relationship, and not turning them off with messages that don’t mean anything to them, or worse – annoy them.
