Over the time that WARC has carried out this survey with the MMA, the role of mobile in the arsenal of marketers has grown significantly. Today, more than two in three marketers are incorporating a mobile-first approach in their marketing. As smartphone technology becomes more and more sophisticated, marketing professionals have needed to increase both investment and focus on improving digital and mobile competences.

After a year when marketing budgets have been significantly impacted by the global pandemic, mobile has proved to be one of the most resilient media.

In APAC, leaders in mobile adoption, are incorporating a mobile-first approach driven by increased opportunities to reach consumers by social and m-commerce, driving up digital advertising budgets in the region to $120bn this year, of which mobile is set to be worth $62bn, per WARC Data.

Over the time that WARC has carried out this survey with the MMA, the role of mobile in the arsenal of marketers has grown significantly. As smartphone technology becomes more and more sophisticated, the line between the mobile medium and the rest of the online media mix is increasingly blurred. This blurring means the distinction between mobile and the rest of digital is hard to make, leading to fewer respondents this year labelling their strategy as ‘mobile-first’ and only 22% having a separate mobile marketing budget. 

As more businesses continue to invest in MarTech solutions, and the Indonesian marketing landscape continues to evolve, it is crucial for marketers to identify trends and best practices that will help them accelerate business growth. 

In line with MMA’s mission to continuously enlighten, empower and enable marketers to shape the future of modern marketing, we have developed the MMA Indonesia MarTech Report 2021. It includes valuable insights into Indonesia’s MarTech landscape, delving into topics such as advertising and promotion, content and experience, and commerce and sales.

The Modern Marketers Guide to MarTech Maturity is an initiative by the MMA India AMMP community represented by the MarTech council.

It's the only industry Playbook to showcase MarTech maturity across different organizations and sectors with complete guidance on choosing and utilizing MarTech stacks effectively.

What makes this MarTech Playbook unique:

In March 2021, the MMA conducted a study to gain insight into how marketers, agency executives and media sellers are approaching the upcoming changes in IDFA and how they are preparing for the future of the ecosystem.
