THE MARKETING TEAM REPORT 2026
Built by marketers.
Powered by real experiences.
Marketing moves quickly. New platforms emerge, AI changes workflows, budgets shift and customer behaviour evolves. Yet much of the advice available is still based on opinion rather than real experiences. The Marketing Team Report brings together insights from agency marketers, in-house teams and business owners responsible for marketing to create a practical snapshot of what's really happening today.
Real insights
No recycled advice or generic trends. Just honest experiences from marketers working across SEO, PPC, social media, AI, email and content every single day.
Practical findings
Every response helps create a report full of useful benchmarks, common challenges and emerging trends that marketers can actually learn from.
