Adweek Illustrates Publishing’s Demise | SAP Cedes Marketing Automation Market to Adobe | B2B Robot Buying Firm Raises $15MM to Hire Humans

Native:

• You know it’s gotten bad for publishers when Adweek puts out
  an article, that’s actually a paid placement, the gist of which is a
  how-to for marketers to build content teams so that they don’t need
  publishers anymore.

Marketing Automation:

• SAP saw writing on the wall,
  and apparently it read “Pack it in,” as the ERP software’s main front
  end for marketing automation is now a resold version of Adobe Marketing
  Cloud.

B2B:

• Even the business-to-business market is running the way of robots these days, with Demandbase – a B2B demand-side platform – getting $15 million in funding to, ironically, hire more humans.
