There’s no argument that the array of mar-tech tools has massively increased the creativity and control of the marketing function. And many take quite a slice of the budget, so need to be adopted wholeheartedly to prove their ROI.
But when planning a programme or campaign, the process should start (and be led) by the challenge, intent and objectives – not tools to support the achievement of the task.
Check out the meme, ‘When toys rule the roost’. Have you seen too much love for mar-tech, and not enough for the marketing?
The challenges represented by ‘When toys rule the roost’ relate to:
- Integrated and ABM marketing managers with many opportunities to deploy the tech stack within their initiatives
- Creative and marketing agencies commissioned to develop new campaigns
- Marketers with pressure to report on levels of detail where the analysis effort could outweigh the possible extraction of value
