The Martech Stack Is Overcrowded. But Identity Isn’t Optional.

by Sibilla Ponzoni

The Essentials in Brief:

CMOs are under pressure to reduce martech tools—but removing identity is a critical mistake.

True martech stack optimisation starts by consolidating around what matters: owned, real-time identity.

Without a resilient identity infrastructure, marketing remains fragmented and inefficient.

Teavaro isn’t a layer. It’s the spine that connects and activates your stack—securely, instantly, and intelligently.

You Don’t Need More Tools. You Need One Identity Spine to Power Them All.

Marketing stacks today are bloated and brittle. Most enterprises run 80–100 tools—yet still can’t answer fundamental questions like “Is this the same customer across touchpoints?” or “Did our campaign reach actual people or just devices?”

This is the reality: the more martech tools you add, the less clarity you gain unless they’re anchored by real-time identity. That’s why martech stack optimisation isn’t just about trimming fat. It’s about building on the right foundation.

You can—and should—reduce martech tools. But if you remove identity, the whole structure collapses.

Identity Is Not a Tool. It’s Infrastructure.

Forget treating identity as another product in the stack. Without it, your stack can’t function.

Teavaro delivers the identity infrastructure modern marketing demands: real-time, deterministic, privacy-centric and fully integrated. At the core is our Identity Activation Hub, which unifies behavioural and transactional signals into a single, owned customer identity: your Unified Marketing ID (UMID).
