First of all, we’d like to apologize for the lousy audio quality of this episode. We had a couple of setbacks in hardware and broadband, and Frans’ phone suffered a flat battery.  and nearly decided to cancel this week’s session. But, we want to keep momentum, so went through with it after all. We’re sorry, and will improve audio quality from next episode onwards. In this episode we push ourselves down the waterslide of Red Martech, aka Ads & Promotions. Although we're no big fans, we do understand the power and necessity of it. We might as well say: it's a job that has to be done.

Hosted by: Frans Riemersma & Roel Seegers


0:25 — Frans’ early morning eye opener about the future of work. 1:50 — Red Martech, Ads & Promotions, and the necessity of it, despite that we’ld rather avoid it. 5:33 — Fine tuning the research based on the super graphic and co creating blog content. 9:42 — Roel doesn’t like Red Martech, but does think ‘amplification’ of inbound content is okay.

In this episode of The Martech Effect Frans and Roel talk about Martech definition a little bit more. On the same day as astronomers have taken the first ever picture of a super massive black hole, we thought it to be no more than logical to introduce the Martech Supergraphic to our listeners. The graphic divides different types of Martech into Red Martech, Orange Martech, Yellow Martech, Green Martech, Blue Martech and Dark Grey Matt...Martech. Frans connects the Supergraphics to the AIDA model by distinguishing marketing tasks: I like what you tell, tell me more, I like what you sell, and Sell me more.

Techopedia: ‘Any type of technology that has a bearing on marketing operations can be called "martech" whether it is a part of an analysis platform, a device-facing benchmark tool, or any other type of digital or high-tech resource.’

Martech Today: ‘Martech is the blending of marketing and technology. Virtually anyone involved with digital marketing is dealing with martech, since digital by its very nature is technologically-based. The term “martech” especially applies to major initiatives, efforts and tools that harness technology to achieve marketing goals and objectives.’

MerlinOne: ‘Software and tech tools marketers leverage to plan, execute, and measure marketing campaigns.' -- Further, on Martech Stacks: 'A complete MarTech Stack should address every stage of the marketing cycle: attracting, engaging, converting, managing, and understanding your target customer. Some of the most common tools and technologies in the MarTech Stack include: Digital Asset Management (DAM), Analytics Tools, Lead management, CRM, Marketing Automation, CMS, Social Media Management.'
