Topic: Going digital means more than just automation: Part 1 – MarTech

Date & Time: 1 December 2020, 3 – 4pm

Topic description:

MarTech is continuously growing as the most significant area of investment for marketing resources and programs. In 2018, MarTech ate up nearly a third of marketing budgets and although this trend continues in 2020, it also poses certain challenges.

MarTech’s upsurge of data and tools can be overwhelming for certain companies, making it difficult for them to keep their technology up-to-date and their staff up-to-speed on how best to utilize the tool. On top of that, finding the right talent can also be a pain point for some companies because while the technical marketing landscape requires technical skills, marketing still requires creativity, empathy, and humanity.

Due to these reasons and more, MarTech as a tool tends to be underutilized, meaning companies are wasting money by not fully leveraging on MarTech.

MDEC is determined to help companies understand these different pitfalls and navigate the use of MarTech as a vital tool needed to facilitate business’ growth.
