A Long Day Today

March 5, 2013 swebman

Has been a difficult day for many today. System challenges, e-mail jail, moving parts and the like.

Holy $#!&, two major martech disruptions just collided together: AI and composability March 30, 2023
At the start of the year, I predicted 2023 would be a chaotic year for martech — yet the start of a truly massive wave of growth for the industry. My inner critic argued that sounded a tad hyperbolic, which is not my usual schtick. But I assuaged my own skepticism by noting that such disruptive growth would ramp up over a period of several years. It wasn’t l […]
