Hey, I’m Colby, the voice behind Martech Mixtape. That’s right, the disembodied voice guiding you through the weird and wild jungle of marketing technology.
I’ve spent over 15 years wrestling with MarTech, Marketing Automation, CDP, CRM, and CMS platforms. Imagine being trapped in a roomful of mirrors where every mirror reflects a different requirement in various states of urgency (everything NOW!), and you’re supposed to explain how it all makes sense…
Somehow, I’ve become pretty good at it. Especially within the Adobe ecosystem, where I tend to build monstrous-yet-beautiful systems that hum along on data and precision. Also, I’m low-key obsessed with data hygiene. Because if the data’s filthy, everything else is, too.
But here’s the catch: all I really want to do is make music and tell jokes. Been playing, singing, and producing for over 30 years now. Hundreds, probably thousands of gigs. I’ve lost count.
When I’m not knee-deep in digital architecture or making noise with instruments, I’m cooking meals for whoever is hungry, wrangling three dogs (because I’m a sucker and apparently very bad at fostering rescues), or just hanging out with my family in Savannah, GA.
You know, the good life – only better.
