Privacy is the number one most important technology, topic, or space for marketing in 2022, according to almost 500 CMOs and other marketing leaders. Also significant: AI, the power of story and content in video and audio, metaverse technologies like VR and AR, web3 technologies like crypto and blockchain, and environmental, social, and corporate responsibility.

Plus the continued evolution of marketing fortresses like Facebook, Reddit, TikTok, Google, and Twitter.

I recently asked 463 marketing technologists: what are the most important technologies or topics for 2022.
