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
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
Then things got a little more complicated
We had different segments, but also different ecosystems (Search, social, display etc)
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’
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’
Paid media working in silo - results viewed in silo
Partial view on the success of campaign activity
ROI based on ‘SOFT MEASURES’ and best available’ metrics – clicks, views, downloads, engagements, trials etc

And the key to that is CRM
CRM is now the cornerstone - it is the central cog in the marketing system
It plays a fundamental role in both blocking marketers from seeing the value of their marketing activity AND enabling them to see the true ROI Value
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
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
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.
So how do you get smarter data
Well if the market is anything to go by (and it usually is a good indicator)
You start by investing in technology
And you invest a lot!
2014 Marketing Tech spend
By 2018 this will be $32billion per year
Between 2014 and 2018 - $135billion will have been invested in marketing tech
And you invest a lot!

HERE’S THE STARK MESSAGE
If you’re not investing in or moving to real-time you’re going to get left behind.
Because, Real-Time isn’t a new fashion or fad
Like the changes in how we communicate
Like the changes in how we consume news
Real-time is THE new standard in how information is delivered
The power behind this new standard is THE API
There are over 200,000 data API’s available in the market data today, which is estimated to have doubled in the last 12 months.
That’s 200,000 points of data that marketers can potentially use to improve their customer view
3. This can be done on someone downloading a white paper about Expense Management Software.
4. It happens in an instant and instead of being delivered in a book format of 1,000 pages, it is now placed directly into the hands of your CRM and Sales immediately
API Technology is so powerful it has it’s own coined term ‘THE API ECONOMY’
This exists to describe the ecosystem of companies which has critical reliance on API’s to power their business
