A marketing technology stack is a collection of tools used by a marketing team. When they work well together, difficult processes become easy, and you can focus on marketing! However, when not designed well, a marketing tech stack can become a time-sucking, source of frustration.
Designing your ideal marketing technology stack is becoming increasingly complicated. According to Chief Martec, in 2011, marketers had around 150 marketing technology brands to choose from. We now face well over 3,000 choices across a multitude of categories like social media, CMS, automation and collaboration.
