"Brands still clinging to legacy platforms... will finally acknowledge that the familiar strategy of 'just one more contract extension' is no longer a defensible path." #emailmarketing #martech #ESP #CMO #CDP https://t.co/EebxaFI4vF

"Gartner’s Magic Quadrant is still worth reading — but it’s not gospel. It reflects Gartner’s methodology, Gartner’s client base, and yes, Gartner’s own commercial interests." #martech #MMH #emailgeeks #emailmarketing https://t.co/8AqyD5daza

@Delta thanks for living up to your Doesn’t Even Leave The AirPort nickname tonight in Atlanta. Your communication was awful and you delays unexplained. I should have known better than to fly your awful airline.

"The biggest challenge for standalone CDPs isn’t just competition—it’s the growing realization that standalone platforms may not be the answer for many marketing functions." #CDP #ESP #emailgeeks #emailmarketing #CRM #martech #CMO https://t.co/dr4ojpGlmC

My intial reactions to the just-released Gartner Magic Quadrant for Customer Data Platforms. #cdp #martech #ESP #databasemarketing https://t.co/dr4ojpGTca

[Chris Marriott @CSMarriott]

@SenMullin How do 44 Democrats justify a "no" vote?!

[Chris Marriott @CSMarriott]

"The ESP vendor landscape has undergone significant transformation in the past few years, and brands that fail to recognize these shifts risk making costly mistakes when renewing contracts or selecting new partners." #EmailMarketing #CMO #martech https://t.co/bqDlJefs4k

I’ve been on hold for over 40 minutes with @Experian trying to report their illegal release of my personal financial data to a third party. You’d think it would be easier….
