To make it readable, we truly created it entirely interactive at martechmap.com, in which you can search, filter, zoom, and additional. It’s very wild.

But regardless of its intellect-boggling scale, the martech landscape has generally been a sidebar to the actual story of how technologies is modifying marketing. The really cool stuff for me is how entrepreneurs leverage these tools with approach, talent, and imagination to obtain remarkable results for their companies and their clients.

This is why The Stackies: Advertising Tech Stack Awards are my beloved neighborhood event in the martech marketplace. Each individual 12 months, entrepreneurs enter by sharing a solitary slide that illustrates their martech stack. They usually shout-out to the specific goods they use. But the greatest types convey how they consider about their stack conceptually. How does it fit into their organizational working system? How does it support their buyer journey?

Collectively, they give us some insight into how martech is becoming utilized.

And, due to the fact it is also a enjoyable awards program, a lot of structure their stack slides with a very little additional pizzazz. Not always applicable to the stack’s mission, but entertaining to look at.

This 12 months, 32 firms sent in stack illustrations. You can see all of them in the no cost State of Martech 2022 report we launched yesterday — The Stackies begin on site 31. (And if you want to perspective the ones from former a long time, here’s 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021.)

As is our custom, we donate $100 for each experienced entry to a non-gain. In the earlier, we’ve donated to businesses that market range and inclusion in martech. This year, given the awful scenario in Ukraine, we’re donating the $3,200 to the International Rescue Committee.

Each yr, we also find 5 “winners” for the awards. I place winners in quotes simply because, whilst the kinds we pick out are brilliant illustrations of martech stacks that have brought anything specifically practical or inventive to their visualization, everyone who contributes to The Stackies is a winner in my eyes. The martech community as a full wins from this impressive corpus of authentic-globe stack illustrations.
