Scott Brinker @chiefmartec released the 2023 Marketing Technology Landscape Supergraphic martech

2-May-2023, Scott Brinker @chiefmartec released the 2023 Marketing Technology Landscape Supergraphic with 11,038 solutions searchable on martechmap.com

You can download a hi-res slide of the landscape or even a super hi-res PDF. But the best way to dig into the landscape is to use the free interactive version on martechmap.com.

“[…] we removed 689 companies from last year’s landscape — a 7% churn rate — that were acquired, pivoted out of martech, or went out of business.

But it’s the same dualistic story we’ve seen for the past 12 years in martech. Yes, there is consolidation and churn. Even significant consolidation and churn. But the rate at which new startups have launched has consistently outpaced the exit rate of those who leave the arena, whether victorious or dead.”
