At SQLI, we believe Marketing Automation to be a customer-centric approach to ensure that your customers are getting the right information, at the right time and through the right channel, and ideally in a completely personalized manner. Put this way, it sounds like the goal of any marketer right? The automation behind the marketing automation approach enables your team to deliver on this promise, at scale, since this would be inefficient to do on a manual basis.
However, Marketing Automation often becomes more complex than anticipated, and many companies struggle to see the results they expected. This is why, getting the support of an experienced 3rd party, will help you keep control, prioritize and optimize your marketing automation approach, where needed, to ensure its profitability, efficiency and success.
The pillars to ensure successful Marketing Automation are:
A strong marketing automation strategy specifically fit for your customers and to meet your organization's needs and objectives. A solid strategy is the most important piece for success.
A solid (customer) data approach to integrate data from any source and create a 360 view of each of your customers. And, a strategy to get actionable insights with dashboarding/AI.
Journeys, Campaigns, and content need to be built in a way that matches and supports your customers' journeys at any stage or through any channel.
But, at SQLI, we help you to first ensure your team can keep track of this data and create the right actionable insights through the entire customer journey. We help you with:
Building a high-performing marketing automation strategy and properly executing it through the right journeys, campaigns and content requires a good knowledge of both your organization's processes and of your customers to know how to support them at each stage.
We help you take a look at your overall digital marketing maturity and performance, your resources and goals and create a roadmap with quick wins and long-term opportunities. This will help us prepare a pragmatic strategy to drive you towards integrating more advanced topics such as omnichannel personalized campaigns, AI recommendations, or predictive marketing that will set you apart from your competitors, at a pace that fits your organizational maturity development.
Your marketing automation approach will only get as far as your data capabilities go. Marketing automation always relies on data as a trigger for the "automated" actions established in the automated journeys/processes. The second biggest pitfall of many companies when it comes to marketing automation is to ignore the requirements for a solid data foundation. These companies end up blaming the marketing automation approach later on for the lack of results in the long run.
