Coming soon: our free, no-commitment assessment to help you uncover potential risks.

Is your company managing its MarTech ecosystem like the critical business infrastructure it has become?​

As marketing stacks grow, ownership can become fragmented, and disconnected platforms can create gaps that are difficult to see until something goes wrong. Without full visibility, one failure could lead to a costly problem.​

In “Marketing’s Invisible Infrastructure,” ddm President Jordan Buning and Director of Performance Services Paul Deleeuw will explore the importance of evaluating the health, security, governance, and resilience of your marketing ecosystem.​

You’ll leave with a practical framework to help identify potential vulnerabilities and areas that may need a closer look.​

Spending more on paid media, but not seeing better results?​

Without a strong marketing strategy, increasing your ad spend can only do so much. The right messaging, audience insights, and a connected customer experience need to come first.​

ddm’s Media Director Andrea Ness further explains this in “Paid Media With a Purpose: Building Smarter B2B Strategies for 2027,” a recent MarketingProfs session. She shares how marketers can use paid media to amplify their message and connect it with owned and earned media into one cohesive strategy.

Red Cedar Investment Management had a strong website foundation, but the overall design no longer matched the firm it had become.​

As part of a move to a new CMS, our team refreshed the site's visual and user experience to showcase Red Cedar's brand, investment expertise, and growing business.​

The result is a clean, modern website that’s more aligned with the firm's reputation today and gives it the flexibility to keep building for the future.​
