The Great Content Collapse

The way marketers work has changed forever

You’re not imagining it. More content. More channels. Fewer resources. Marketing is changing faster than most teams can anticipate, and the time to adapt is now.

The funnel is collapsing

Buyer decisions happen earlier, before buyers ever reach your site.

    Scaling under pressure

    Teams are expected to deliver more output while resources continue to shrink.

      Engagement is slipping

      Generic AI content is flooding channels, eroding engagement and trust.

        Marketing teams are being squeezed on all sides

                        Welcome, Full-Stack Marketers!

                        If this way of working feels familiar, you’re already leading the change.

                        Full-Stack Marketers run on Contentful

                        Personalization, AI, and scale don’t work on a legacy CMS. Those systems were simply not built for constant change, real-time insight, or the high volume of publishing that marketing teams face today.


                        You need a platform that connects content, workflows, data, and delivery so you can move fast without compromise. That’s what Contentful's fully extensible platform is built for.

Shannon Ryan (Chief Growth Officer, Valtech) and CJ Pace (Product Marketing Manager, Contentful) explore how to influence those early moments and stay in the conversation.
