Technology has brought about an explosion of facts and figures that marketers need to collect, disseminate and measure to make sense of the digital world in which we live. Marketing and technology work together to create new software platforms that analyze  data and filter it into segments and actions.  Marketers feed these filtered groups into automated programs that reach customers and prospects with personalized content through multiple channels and then measure results. Technology was once the realm of IT, but now marketing departments depend on software to handle big data and break it down into manageable “bits”.

In 2012, the research and consulting firm Gartner predicted that by 2017, a company’s chief marketing officer would be spending more on technology than its chief information officer. Hence the rise of the Chief Marketing Technologist.  CMTs  are marketers with the in- depth knowledge of strategies and creative content;  with a  flare for technology and where it fits best. They also need to be leaders and tech support rolled into one. The CMT’s mission is to align marketing and technology  with business goals, and act as a liaison to the IT department.
