As a marketing team member, you’ve likely felt the frustration of having disconnected workflow that causes your team to waste time waiting for input, looking for information and reworking assets. It could be because there is ineffective collaboration or disjointed systems, content requestors and creators struggle to communicate effectively, or the current process is inefficient. Regardless, your team probably understands this struggle.
An abundance of companies face these issues but continue to use antiquated technologies and broken workflows rather than finding a lasting solution. Many companies that do invest in modern marketing technology do not fully utilize and optimize the features of their MarTech stack.
In fact, recent studies have found that more than 40% of companies don’t use any modern MarTech to manage their work activities.

Despite these challenges, there are feasible ways to become more effective and efficient. Modern work management capabilities bring teams together and help team members produce their best work as quickly as possible.
