The utilization of the right data processes and marketing technology tools can aid in the optimization of campaigns for future growth. A new MarTech should be viewed as a tool that can help solve existing problems while increasing output. With anticipated increases in MarTech spending, MarTech adoption trends will continue to adapt to match newer customer preferences and industry requirements.
Marketing leaders are constantly evaluating and re-evaluating new marketing strategies and MarTech capabilities to explore innovative approaches to enhance overall business and marketing ROI at any given time. In many respects, the foundation of a successful process starts with the choice of technology and MarTech stack in the evolving B2B marketing business, where there is now a larger focus on enabling marketing teams to contribute to revenue and act as performance marketers.
The best-fit platforms are critical for allowing marketers to scale campaigns and optimize their data in various ways, depending on their immediate to near-term goals and team’s capabilities.

Here are a few suggestions for marketing leaders who are currently debating whether or not to add or remove a particular MarTech from their existing MarTech stack or who are just considering investing in a new platform.
How Can the Company Benefit from the Tool?
A MarTech stack is already in place for most B2B marketing organizations. When evaluating a new tool, it’s critical to ask the right questions: how much more value will the new MarTech platform provide to the team’s total marketing capabilities or tech stack? Will they be able to scale their operations and campaigns in the same amount of time? Will it contribute to increasing actual ROI?
Before investing in a new tool, marketing leaders should analyze the benefits and drawbacks and consider whether the current MarTech provides similar integrations or add-ons via which the functions that they hope the new tool will facilitate may be completed. It doesn’t hurt to adopt and then closely measure what’s working and what’s not if there is an actual benefit to investing an additional marketing dollars from the total budget.
Are the Right Marketing Ops Processes in Place?
Marketers often have the best MarTech at their disposal but fail to implement optimal levels of marketing operations best practices and internal programs to ensure that every function of their MarTech is utilized to its full potential; another common concern is the difficulty of unifying data and extracting key insights from it.

All of this necessitates the development of more robust marketing operations processes aligned with new and existing MarTech investments. This means having the necessary skills and resources to administer the MarTech platform and the right people to plan content and campaigns for those platforms and conduct regular performance analysis.
Is The Tool Compliant with The Latest Regulations?
Customer privacy is paramount in this era, and marketers must acknowledge this. Data breaches are rising, and data privacy standards are continually evolving. Marketers must develop data governance policies that are compliant with regional laws. A robust data privacy policy can boost customer trust in the company, which is a win-win situation.
Separating the Must-Haves from the Good-to-Haves
B2B marketers often require an essential set of MarTech and tools to achieve the basic elements of B2B marketing, and then there are the nice to have. Knowing where to distinguish between necessary tools and nice-to-haves is critical not just for boosting MarTech adoption and investment but also for keeping a healthy MarTech budget.
