MarTech QnA with the Expert

Martech is definitely crowded, with many point solutions. Especially in larger companies, marketers struggle to find the time to use all the software and SaaS products they have licensed. The spend on those tools is also getting a lot of scrutiny from businesses doubting the incremental impact of each individual tool. Time and again, we hear marketers and business leaders say they want a cohesive set of tools to help them understand and optimize the customer journey from interest to sale and to retention of that customer. CMOs want to direct resources in an agile way and meet consumers where they are.– Baruch Toledano, Vice President and GM of Digital Marketing Solutions @ Similarweb
