So the case for Marketing Automation seems compelling, but what’s actually going on in terms of adoption?
Well, we looked at this in our 2014 Marketing Automation eBook, and I’d like to share some of what we found.
In his book, Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey Moore describes a technology lifecycle in which the adoption of a new product proceeds according to the demographic characteristics of defined adopter groups. According to Moore’s model, the first group of people to use a new product is called "innovators," followed by "early adopters”.
The “chasm” is the crucial period during which a product is either adopted broadly, or remains part of a niche market.

In our eBook research, we dissected the Product Lifecycle by firm size.
So for large firms, we are actually seeing that they have “crossed the chasm”. For large firms, Marketing Automation is an accepted tool and quickly becoming a requirement to handle the complexities of digital marketing.
The majority of large companies that don’t currently use MAS are either evaluating it now, or will be over the next few years.

In our eBook research, we dissected the Product Lifecycle by firm size.
Well what about small and mid-sized firms?
As you can see, adoption rates fall off quickly as firm size decreases.
For firms with 1 to 100 employees, only about .9% or about 55,000 firms out of nearly 6 million are using MA.
If you are a marketing professional in a small or mid-sized firm, this represents a great opportunity for you professionally.
That’s because, we know from larger firms, that adoption is occurring broadly, and those firms that get in early have an ongoing or systematic advantage that comes with the skills and experience accumulated during the course of implementation. (Let me repeat this)
In our industry report, we explore some of the skills required for successful adoption.
