About the Report

The 2025 State of Channel Marketing Report examines how channel marketing leaders are navigating an increasingly constrained and closely scrutinized environment.

Built from survey data and qualitative input from experienced professionals across the channel ecosystem, the report explores how teams are approaching:

  • Budget allocation and justification
  • Partner engagement and enablement
  • Measurement, events, and technology decisions

Rather than surface-level trends, the report highlights the underlying shifts shaping channel marketing strategy as teams head into 2026—helping leaders pressure-test assumptions, spot early signals of change, and understand the tradeoffs their peers are already making.
