Optimizely Named "Best Overall Content Marketing Company" in 2026 MarTech Breakthrough Awards

NEW YORK, August 6, 2026 - Optimizely, the AI platform for marketing, today announced that it has been named the “Best Overall Content Marketing Company” in the 9th annual MarTech Breakthrough Awards conducted by MarTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global marketing, sales and advertising technology industry. 

Optimizely was recognized for unifying the entire content marketing lifecycle, from planning and budgeting through creation, personalization, distribution, and performance measurement, into a single AI-powered platform. Optimizely's Content Marketing Platform (CMP) and Content Management System (CMS) give teams one workspace to plan and produce content at scale, while the company's embedded AI is purpose-built for the content lifecycle, automating tasks like metadata generation, image renditions, and brand auditing so marketers can focus on strategy instead of admin. 

Customers have quickly seen the impact. A top accounting and advisory firm, used CMP's automated rendition capabilities to save its design team 700 hours of manual work, redirecting that time to brand strategy. A nonprofit educational travel provider consolidated a patchwork of disconnected platforms into a single flow and doubled its mobile conversion rate. A global engineering consultancy, used CMP to manage a 1,500-page site migration and now uses AI to generate metadata and alt-text in seconds as it onboards new global regions. A global leader in governance software, reclaimed 65% of its content team's time and cut tens of thousands of dollars in agency fees by bringing sophisticated creative tasks in-house. 
 
"Being named the best overall content marketing company is a proud moment for our team," said Tara Corey, SVP, Marketing at Optimizely. "I've seen firsthand what it means for customers to get hundreds of hours back from manual work and reinvest that time into strategy and creativity. That shift, from managing logistics to actually shaping the brand, is where the real value shows up, and it's the impact our AI platform was built to deliver.” 

This follows a run of analyst recognition this year, including Optimizely's ninth consecutive year as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Content Marketing Platforms, and its second consecutive year as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Personalization Engines. Optimizely also secured a gold win in CMSWire's 2026 IMPACT Awards for Excellence in Digital Experience & Journey Optimization. 

Optimizely will showcase these capabilities at Camp Opticon, taking place in New York (September 1), London (October 13), and Online (October 21). Registration and full agendas are available at optimizely.com/field-notes/opticon. 

The mission of the MarTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize innovation, hard work and success across marketing, sales and advertising technology, spanning categories including marketing automation, customer experience, AdTech, SalesTech, analytics, content and mobile marketing.
