Martech Lawyers

What is martech?

The marketing industry has been supercharged by the technology revolution. This has led to the emergence of ‘martech’ businesses that provide new and innovative marketing solutions; or otherwise marketing technology businesses. 

Martechs provide software and tools that supercharge an organisations’ ability to achieve marketing goals and optimize marketing channels. Businesses will likely deploy a martech stack. That is, they will rely on a suite of tools rather than just one: from CRM to email marketing and content management. 

How big is the martech industry?

The global martech industry was estimated to be $344.8 billion in 2021 according to The Martech Report. Even taking into account all the M&A and consolidation activity in the industry, this is a 5,233% growth from just a decade ago. It’s not just acquisitions. Investment is also pouring in. 

For example, LXA Hub reports that in 2022:

• Customer data platform Snowplow raised $40m;
• CRM platform Front raised $65m in a Series D round;
• Headless commerce platform Strapi raised $31m; and
• Headless content management platform Storyblok raised $47m in a Series B round. 

How can Biztech enable martech innovators?

Innovation in marketing technology and approaches delivers novel legal complexities and challenges. This requires expert guidance to effectively navigate. As a martech business, it is important to be aware that certain documents are required to provide your services. These include services agreements, terms and conditions, and privacy policies. 

As new and unique martech products with a global reach appear, they need to adapt to the regulatory frameworks – including Data Privacy regulations, such as the Australian Privacy Principles and General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). Biztech Lawyers are experts in enabling martech innovators to comply with regulations and scale-up.
