Thorsten Schapmann
Marketing Director Digital Europe, Beiersdorf

"The benchmark forms the framework, structure and basis for prioritizing and selecting the right applications."

Marco Heller
Director Global Brand Management, Husqvarna Group

Dirk Rockendorf

"Here is a compliment: self-assessment, analysis and also the explanations; everything just super professional and very helpful!”

Rolf Kreuzer
CTO, Migros

“Instead of subjective evaluations by users, a comparison is made here against 950+ MarTech development plans in addition to an overall market model – more transparency and depth of content is hardly feasible.”

Independent since day one

Founded in 2018, MartechTribe has built its research independently from day one. What started as a small community of Martech enthusiasts sourcing European vendors has grown into a global independent research practice spanning the Martech Canvas, MartechMap.com, the annual State of Martech report, and the Martech Manifesto — every benchmark, audit, and recommendation still built on data, not sales incentives.
