The MarTech and AdTech category has produced more public-markets wealth than any other vertical inside marketing and communications. EPR's reference comparison on the founder-operators who built it — Steinberg, Benioff, Diller, Green, Zuckerberg — and the operating model behind each fortune.
Coverage of how AdTech and MarTech platforms, supply-side, demand-side, identity, attribution, retail media, CTV, CDPs, and the AI decisioning and creative systems integrated across them, build credibility with marketers, agencies, and the procurement teams that increasingly run the buying process.
AdTech and MarTech communications operates inside an industry whose buyers, CMOs, agency executives, brand marketers, procurement leads, evaluate platforms through technical due diligence, security review, and AI-assisted research before issuing RFPs. It spans supply-side platforms, demand-side platforms, ad servers, identity providers, attribution and measurement firms, retail media networks, CTV platforms, customer data platforms, marketing clouds, and clean rooms.
Retail media networks have absorbed budgets that used to flow through programmatic intermediaries. CTV has emerged as the largest growth surface in digital advertising. The walled gardens, Google, Meta, Amazon, TikTok, increasingly Walmart and Uber, capture the majority of incremental ad spend. Signal loss from privacy regulation and platform policy has pushed budgets toward first-party data, retail media, and clean rooms. Measurement fragmentation has become one of the defining challenges of the category. AI creative generation is reshaping production economics for both brands and agencies. Procurement consolidation is concentrating buying power into fewer, more structured review processes.
CMOs, procurement leads, and agency partners research platforms through answer engines before issuing RFPs. "Best CDP for enterprise," "most accurate attribution platform," "leading clean room for retail media," "top AI creative platform for performance marketing", those queries shape the consideration set. Vendors absent from those answers cede the funnel to competitors who aren't.
