Case-Study-Marketo-Challenge

Challenge

Marketo’s marketing team was challenged to drive more revenue and qualified leads with less money and resources. At the root of this problem was being able to identify the right accounts, at the right moment to engage.

While marketing had valuable insights on the research activity of visitors to its own website, they realized that this was only a very small part of their prospect’s buying journey.

Solution

It used Company Surge® for Marketo to find accounts interested in ‘marketing automation’ and related topics. Marketo used this to drive engagement for email and LinkedIn campaigns for its roadshow events in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ).

Testimonial

Intent data is everything we can't capture with Marketo. We can track our digital assets and paid programs, but Intent data gives us the chance to understand what happens outside our reach. It gives us a fuller picture of every lead, contact, and account, and helps us equip sales to pursue deals faster.
