Findings showcase the implementation of analytics platforms by retail category & revenue and use of tag management across top ecommerce
organizations
CHICAGO – December 9, 2014
— Cardinal Path, an independent digital data and analytics firm, today released a report on the use of digital marketing analytics and tag management
solutions within the top 500 online retailers.
“The complexity of the marketing technology landscape has exploded and marketers have to think about everything from data management platforms and ad
networks to retargeting and conversion tools,” says John Hossack, co-founder and President of Cardinal Path.
“Analytics platforms are evolving to help marketers manage this complexity and activate their data.”
The State of Digital Marketing Analytics in the Top 500 Online Retailers provides an overview of the dominant analytics platforms across the
world’s leading ecommerce organizations. “It’s no surprise that Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics continue to dominate this space, but there are some
interesting revelations around market share by retail category and by revenue.”
The report also details the use of tag management solutions, with some surprising findings. “Tag management solutions are widely considered an industry
best practice, and in a group of high-volume retailers, we would expect to see a much higher number of tag managers deployed,” says Hossack.

report’s co-author, Nick Iyengar, Associate Director of Digital Intelligence at Cardinal Path, and co-founders and senior partners David Eckman and Alex
