The study’s conclusions are based on data collected from a survey of more than 1,000 marketing and advertising professionals, including brand marketers, media company executives and agency representatives.

  • Nearly half of the brands and agencies surveyed intend to implement a martech solution by mid-2019, and a majority expect budgets to grow over the next five years.
     
  • Only nine of the martech solutions providers evaluated had a brand awareness score above 50 percent, indicating a fragmented market with a high number of contenders for mind­share.
     
  • Less than half of the decision makers surveyed indicated satisfaction with their current marketing technology vendors, providing opportunities for emerging competitors to disrupt prevailing brand perceptions.
