Good morning, Marketer, hope you’re keeping it real.

Reading Megan Michuda’s fascinating article on three ways to organize your martech stack led me to the (slightly) philosophical question: What is the best way? The one that works best for you, is the answer but not the solution. So, how do you figure that out? To help with that I’ve compiled some of our best recent articles on the topic in the headlines section.

These pieces give good practical information on everything from budgeting to stacks for small companies to looking beyond martech for your martech stack. There’s always more to be learned about this and later this week we’re publishing Gene De Libero’s reference model for stack success. Also, coming soon is the release of our big MarTech Replacement Survey. It’s filled with data about what’s being upgraded and why.
