Meanwhile, actions by Google, Microsoft, Apple and other major browser are putting still more barriers in the way of data business as usual. The rebirth of out-of-home advertising (billboards, wall posters, in-store displays, and clever niche products such as elevator and gas pump ads) as a digital channel opens another mass medium.

The difference matters because marketers are increasingly required to pick a collection of components that somehow work together to deliver integrated customer experiences. As I wrote last week , there are a handful of Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) that do nothing but build a database. That’s spelled s-i-l-o.

In no particular order, things I didn’t quite expect this year include: - pushback against the walled garden vendors (Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, etc.) It seemed briefly that marketing technology would be different, largely because cloud-based systems make integration so much easier than before. AI bubble remains unburst.

My own answer is: at stage of the industry, the basic features of marketing automation are pretty much set, so radically different features are not likely to emerge as a major competitive advantage. So this approach would really imply fundamental change in how vendors build their products.

It’s people’s concerns about being tracked that leads Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and every other major browser to block third party cookies, although you all know that Google just deferred that on Chrome yet again.

Although some difference may be justified by the differences in media effectiveness, this still suggests to me that ad spending will continue to shift into online media until the spending is roughly proportional. If you’ve been wondering why Google should be concerned about Twitter and Facebook , that’s your answer.

I’ve been trying to make sense of the different Web site optimization vendors, and have tentatively decided they fall into four groups: - Web analytics. These systems let users define a set of elements to test, build an efficient test matrix that tries them in different combinations, execute the tests, and report on the results.

But I don’t think that can scale: companies require many different services and will not want to buy and run each one separately. So I believe the future lies with integrated marketing automation systems that combine many different functions while sharing data and processes whenever possible. But I consider that optional.)

Those are all true, I suppose, but I felt they missed the real story: this is another step in Amazon building a self-contained universe that its customers never have to leave. It’s just that I see the over-arching story of the current economy as creation of closed universes by Amazon, Facebook, Google, Apple, and maybe a couple of others.

Zaius seemed to fall into those categories since much of our discussion focused on building marketing campaigns and doing attribution.

But the industry has become so bewilderingly diverse in recent years that it is tempting to recall simpler times when all a new product needed to promise was making it easier to unify their customer data. They left Salesforce in early 2016 to build a product to fill this gap. That was way back in 2016.
