Martech Enablement
What is Martech Enablement?
According to contributor Peter Ladka, author of MarTech Today’s “A Nine-Part Practical Guide to Martech Enablement,” martech enablement is:
The process of bringing marketing and technology together to create the team, define the strategy, identify, implement and integrate the tools, and execute the strategy that enables an organization to engage most effectively with their customer. Ultimately, it’s getting the right information at the right time into the hands of marketers so they can effectively engage their customers to build brand, market products and services and assist the sales organization.
