Turbocharge Your Existing Customer Marketing Technology Stack When Rip and Replace is Not an Option (Stuart Russell, Client Services Director, Planning-inc)
The constant change of recent times has highlighted the need for dynamic, agile marketing processes underpinned by a fit-for-purpose tech stack. As budget constraints kick in, and more costly overhauls and platform migrations are being put on the backburner, marketers need to take stock of their existing technical infrastructure, and understand where quick fixes and optimisation can enable and power customer strategies moving forward. To help marketers capture these opportunities, Planning-inc will talk through an evaluation framework to “hack your stack”, offering examples of how brands have tweaked rather than replaced their technology to great effect.
