What Marketers Stitch Together
Multiple vendors. Multiple exports. Another place to copy PII.
Warehouse + CDP hop
Customer data lives in a warehouse, then gets copied into a CDP before creative or send can start
ESP + channel vendors
One tool for email, another for SMS, another for push, each with its own audience export
Separate content tools
A different product or agency to produce variants and personalized creative
Disconnected proofing
QA and inbox checks that do not use the same live fields as production
Spreadsheets + Slack threads
Brand, legal, and ops reconciling three channel proofs by hand
Bolt-on AI chat
A sidebar that does not know your fields, brand kit, or proofing state
