Align Your Marketing and Martech Strategies to Avoid Tool Overload
- Ensure you’re getting the most value out of the technology you use by aligning your marketing technology strategy with your overall marketing and business strategy.
- Avoid tool overload by regularly assessing your technology to understand what’s foundational, strategic and effective. When buying technology, seek out the advice of peers and try leveraging product review sites to seek out what others are saying.
