You know that what's happening today, right now, represents a quantum leap in the importance of martech and an incredible opportunity for you and marketing. You've watched technology and innovation unfold at an ever-accelerating pace. And you know that if you aren't keeping pace with the competition, you will be left behind. If you are not at the forefront, you'll never make it to the pinnacle you're aiming for because in 2020, customer experience will overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator. As the customer champion — the person operating at the executive level who represents and voices the customer 's best interests — you are uniquely placed to transform your organization's revenue potential by optimizing your martech stack and successfully aligning it to business strategy and revenue. With greater responsibility comes greater risk, but also greater reward. Courageous marketing leaders who embrace change will have the satisfaction of seeing their efforts guide and transform their discipline, their careers, and their organizations. So be bold. Step up. Change your self-perception. But start now. Start to view your role, and that of your team and your organization, differently. Become an evangelist instead of an apologist for the contribution that marketing makes to your organization's bottom line. Broaden your vision to see martech's true potential, and use this research to feed and support that vision. Leverage your passion — that passion for marketing and technology that has brought you to this point — to ignite this second, definitive chapter in your career.
