Hand picked articles, resources, tools, and conversation from around the world of marketing technology. #martech

Hi everyone, Happy Monday!
My name is Pedro Ferreira, and I’m the new Techstars Startup Digest #martech curator. This is the third digest I am curating since 201, and If you are curious about my background, visit my Linkedin profile and don’t hesitate to connect.

But for now, let’s get it started 🔊

  • The release of an accompanying 2022 State of Martech Report
  • The ceremony for the 2022 Stackies: Marketing Tech Stack Awards
  • A live (and lively!) webinar on May 3 which will include all of the above…
