A growing number of startups and big companies are fighting for control of marketing tech.
Giants like Adobe, Shopify, and Klaviyo continue to make inroads with data-driven technologies to power smarter, more personalized marketing. And well-funded startups are also helping marketers use data to solve problems around everything from email, web design, and analytics.
