Martech: more technology for more marketing

Martech is a blended word formed from “marketing” and “technology” – and that’s exactly what’s behind it. Martech refers to technological innovations in the marketing industry that are conveniently packaged into modern software solutions and apps, some of which have never been seen before. These include new concepts, such as artificial intelligence (AI), which are already being successfully used in many areas of society. So why shouldn’t they be leveraged in marketing as well? These days, marketers have a range of promising solutions and tools at their disposal, combining state-of-the art technologies and innovative ideas.

On numerous levels, martech improves how companies and brands communicate with potential customers and nurture existing ones.
