Thread

Hey all - <http://www.userevidence.com|UserEvidence> is doing the 2023 version of our Customer Marketing Technology landscape and releasing it in a couple weeks (<https://blog.userevidence.com/an-exploration-of-the-customer-marketing-technology-landscape-in-2022|see 2022 version here>). Before I release this to the broader community - wanted to get this groups feedback on this draft of the 2023 landscape. Any vendors I omitted? Vendors - let me know if you feel you should be in a different category (but you can only choose 1 category :slightly_smiling_face:

Vendor here! I’m not quite sure what category we’d fit in if we can only be in 1. We have both software and services (2 products) - so for services, customer testimonial videos is right. For software, it’s connecting to call recording platforms (gong, chorus, etc) and managing workflows/content from there. So maybe the “broad” category… happy to chat on this, Evan 🙂

For gifting: Snappy
For reference management: Reference Edge

Evan Huck July 11, 2023 at 05:59 PM

@Rachel Ward RefEdge is by Point-of-Reference

Evan Huck July 11, 2023 at 06:00 PM

@Jeff Reekers Champion in Customer Reference Platforms seem right?

Rachel Ward July 11, 2023 at 06:00 PM

Cool just Learned something new!

Evan Huck July 11, 2023 at 06:01 PM

to make it more confusing ReferenceView was the old name of the platform from RO Innovations (now Upland) 🙂

So excited to see this growing!! @Lili Kovari any thoughts on something to add?

July 11, 2023 at 06:14 PM

@Evan Huck - amazing list!

I would put Deeto in the "Wide-breadth Customer Marketing Automation Platforms" Category

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) July 11, 2023 at 06:38 PM

I don’t see usergems, or ABM products, that seems to be an area that is growing. Case Study/content agencies could include Case Study Buddy & Uplift Content. I also like Coefficient which is similar to Airtable but for Google Sheets.

Evan Huck July 11, 2023 at 06:56 PM

@Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) great feedback - thx!

Alexie Glover July 11, 2023 at 08:03 PM

Frank Advocacy is the new kid on the block in Managed Services and Consulting Firms!

July 11, 2023 at 08:10 PM

I'd take out "all-purpose" from the DIY All Purpose Tools box. Most of these vendors offer a single solution. Otherwise, this is awesome!

Jeff Reekers July 11, 2023 at 08:15 PM

Fantastic @Evan Huck! Really helpful content. References works for us.

Irwin Hipsman July 12, 2023 at 03:02 AM

Agree with @Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) fir usergems. Zoominfo would be in their ballpark. Maybe a new customer marketing category as they are both about the health of your contact database.

I just ran across a European community tool that’s interesting. Orbit. They use AI to match people into smaller communities

Rachel Ward July 12, 2023 at 03:15 AM

Oh I’ve used orbit in the past, it’s a very cool tool that allows you to plug into communities that already exist like Reddit, etc. we used it for our developer community
