NexaMarTech

    MarTech Consulting & Technology Strategy

    Most marketing teams do not have a tooling problem — they have an architecture problem. We audit what you own, remove overlap, and produce a costed roadmap you can act on.

    The cost of an unplanned stack

    MarTech stacks are rarely designed. They accumulate — a tool per campaign, a platform per leadership change, an integration per emergency. Within a few years the organisation is paying for overlapping capability, moving data by CSV between systems that each claim to be the source of truth, and unable to answer basic questions about performance without a week of manual work. Consulting here is not slide decks: it is architecture, sequencing and hard decisions about what to retire.

    • Overlapping licences where three tools do variations of the same job
    • No documented data model, so every integration invents its own
    • Renewal decisions made under deadline pressure without evaluation
    • Analytics that cannot be reconciled with the CRM or with finance
    • Roadmaps that list tools to buy rather than capabilities to build

    What MarTech consulting includes

    We work as a technology and strategy partner, not an agency selling retained execution. The deliverables are decision-grade: a documented current state, a target architecture, a costed roadmap and the implementation sequencing to get there — with the analysis behind every recommendation shown.

    • MarTech stack audit and overlap analysis
    • Vendor selection and RFP support
    • Integration and data architecture
    • Customer data model design
    • Governance, consent and data quality
    • Licence cost rationalisation

    Key capabilities in detail

    MarTech stack assessment

    A full inventory of what you own, what it costs, who uses it and what it actually does, mapped against the capabilities the business needs.

    • Tool inventory with cost, contract dates and real usage data
    • Capability map showing coverage, overlap and genuine gaps
    • Integration and data-flow diagram of the current state
    • Risk register covering single points of failure and key-person dependency
    • Consolidation opportunities with estimated savings

    Technology selection

    Vendor evaluation run as a structured process against your weighted requirements, with scripted demos and reference checks — not a preference we hold.

    • Requirements gathering weighted by business priority
    • Longlist to shortlist screening against those requirements
    • Scripted demo scenarios using your actual use cases
    • Total cost of ownership modelling including implementation effort
    • Commercial and contract review support

    CRM and systems integration

    Integration architecture that defines the source of truth for every entity, so the same customer means the same thing in every system.

    • Canonical contact, account and event models
    • Sync patterns, conflict resolution and reconciliation jobs
    • API, webhook and iPaaS architecture decisions
    • Migration planning for CRM and platform changes

    Marketing automation architecture

    How campaign logic, data and orchestration should be layered so the system stays maintainable as the team and program count grow.

    • Separation of orchestration, campaign logic and data layers
    • Naming, governance and change-control conventions
    • Environment strategy for sandbox, staging and production
    • Scalability review against expected volume growth

    Data architecture and analytics

    A measurement foundation that finance and marketing can both defend, built on a warehouse rather than on the reporting screen of whichever tool is loudest.

    • Tracking plan and event taxonomy design
    • Warehouse and modelling architecture
    • Identity resolution and consent handling
    • Attribution approach matched to your sales cycle and channel mix
    • Governance, ownership and data quality monitoring

    AI integration strategy

    Where AI belongs in the stack, what data it may touch, which vendors are acceptable and how quality will be measured before anything reaches customers.

    • AI use-case prioritisation by value and feasibility
    • Data governance and vendor policy for model access
    • Build-versus-buy analysis for each candidate use case
    • Evaluation and monitoring standards

    Roadmap and implementation strategy

    A sequenced plan with dependencies, owners, effort estimates and decision points, written so it survives contact with budget cycles.

    • Phased roadmap across quarters with clear dependencies
    • Effort, cost and internal resourcing estimates
    • Success measures defined per phase before work starts
    • Optional delivery oversight or hands-on implementation support

    What a stack audit produces

    You receive an inventory of every tool, what it costs, who owns it, what data flows in and out, and where two systems do the same job. Overlap is where most recoverable budget sits.

    • Tool inventory with owners, contracts and renewal dates
    • Data flow diagram across capture, storage and activation
    • Gap and overlap matrix mapped to capabilities
    • Prioritised roadmap with effort and cost estimates

    Architecture principles we apply

    We favour a single source of truth for identity, event-based integration over nightly file drops, and reversible decisions over long lock-in contracts.

    Use cases

    Typical situations where teams bring us in for this work.

    Pre-renewal evaluation

    A major contract is up in ninety days and nobody can say whether the platform is delivering value. We produce the evidence to negotiate or replace.

    Post-merger consolidation

    Two stacks, two CRMs, two definitions of a customer. We define the target architecture and the migration sequence.

    Scaling past spreadsheets

    A team that outgrew manual process needs an architecture that will hold for the next three years, not another point tool.

    Analytics credibility rescue

    When the numbers are disputed in every meeting, we rebuild the measurement foundation and the governance around it.

    AI readiness assessment

    An honest view of whether your data and processes can support the AI programme leadership has already announced.

      Target architecture

      A designed end state with the reasoning, trade-offs and rejected alternatives written down.

    4. 04

      Roadmap

      Sequenced phases with dependencies, effort, cost and the measures each phase is accountable to.

    5. 05

      Decision support

      We help you socialise and defend the plan internally, including the business case for the parts that cost money.

    6. 06

      Delivery oversight

      Optional ongoing architecture governance, vendor management or hands-on implementation through our delivery teams.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do you resell any platforms?

    No. We take no vendor commissions, so recommendations are based on fit and total cost of ownership only.

    Can you work alongside our incumbent agency?

    Yes. Consulting engagements are frequently run alongside an existing delivery agency, with us owning architecture and them owning execution.
