From Media Buying to Marketing Orchestration
Modern marketing requires coordinating 1st-party data, creative, and measurement across fragmented channels, yet many teams still rely on disconnected tools that limit speed, visibility, and control.
The market is shifting from media buying to marketing orchestration platforms that unify execution across audiences and touch points. As AI reshapes decision-making, these platforms must also become systems of intelligence. The Forrester Wave™ evaluates the vendors shaping that shift.

The evaluation assesses vendors using criteria including onboarding, training, and ongoing support, pricing flexibility and transparency, and self-serve capabilities—in which StackAdapt received the highest possible scores.
