A field reference for working martech use cases.

Written by Matthew Niederberger for Martech Therapy

Use cases arranged by outcome rather than by tool, each written out in the same seven boxes: the problem, the outcome, the data, the equipment, the people, the technique and the ways it goes wrong.

Free to read and openly licensed. No form.

The shape of a recipe

Recipes are compositions, not configurations.

Each recipe names the orchestration patterns underneath it. Many recipes share patterns; that's the editorial point. Browsing by pattern is how you find every recipe that uses the logic you already have.

Cross-platform, consent-aware post-conversion suppression

Cross-platform suppression with consent propagation

The version most brands shipped first works on Meta. The version that actually delivers the outcome works across every retargeting channel, propagates consent state through GDPR jurisdictions, and re-introduces customers at the right point in the post-purchase cycle. The gap between the two is why this is a Workshop conversation.

The patterns underneath

Patterns are the orchestration logic the recipes compose: forty-two patterns in seven groups. Most martech failures are failures of a pattern, not of a tool.

Tier 1 · free with a business email

Take any recipe into the room as one page.

The seven boxes of any recipe, condensed to a one-page sheet for the meeting where the use case gets decided. This tier asks for a business email and it feeds the Workshop; that is what it is for. Everything else here stays open.

When you want to work out which of these matter for your own stack, that is the Workshop: ninety minutes with the people who own the decision, ending in one next move. About the Workshop →
