Industry Landscape, Challenges and Innovation at Everlytic
The marketing automation landscape struggles with rising expectations: high-volume deliverability, privacy constraints, content creation strain and technical integration. Everlytic itself outlines common hurdles such as perceived high costs, steep learning curves, impersonal messaging risk, integration complexity, and demand for consistent content qualityâaccompanied by practical solutions like ROI-driven pricing tiers, guided training, personalisation at scale, API integrations, and repurposing assets .Email engagement also has new friction points: privacy changes in Gmail and Apple Mail skew open-rate tracking, making click-rates a more reliable metric.
