MarTech Quote-of-the-Week!
My prediction is that every company will realize that marketing fraud is a much bigger problem than they’ve realized and can no longer be accepted as being a cost of doing business. Currently, marketing fraud accounts for an estimated $5 billion per year. Marketing campaigns are being impacted by these types of attacks, accounting for as much as 37% of their traffic and marketing leaders are underestimating the negative impact it is having on their campaign effectiveness, marketing spend, conversion rates, sales follow up, retargeting, and compliance. –Dan Lowden, Chief Marketing Officer at White Ops

MarTech QnA with the Expert
The pandemic simply accelerated an already existing trend around ecommerce adoption. Because the pandemic closed in-person shopping, brands that had historically relied on brick-and-mortar stores to sell products had to quickly pivot to digital channels. Additionally, the increased time spent at home and job instability seems to have inspired more individuals to start their own small online businesses. All of this contributed to the fact that ecommerce sales grew by an estimated 44% in 2020 (compared to 2019). –Bob Braham, CEO at Famous
