Quotes

  • "Marketing technology operates in like eight to 10 year spurts and they're getting shorter and shorter." - Michael Trapani

  • "This war that constantly existed between marketing and IT, like the war's over." - Michael Trapani

  • "What we're starting to see now, especially in the world of customer data platforms, is that we're hearing from IT first, like IT is coming to us, but from an entirely different angle than the way marketing teams." - Michael Trapani

  • “Something like 80% of ActionIQ's net new pipeline are coming from folks in the IT group, like from sort of tech first conversations. And that was totally flipped even two years ago.” - Michael Trapani

  • “In the old days, I would have to go out and buy something and operate in this renegade tech stack that didn't exist in the broader IT stack. Now I can tap directly into the broader tech stack, the broader data infrastructure using these new tools because I don't have to keep my data in these renegade tools that I'm buying.” - Michael Trapani
