We’re studying Marketing Automation systems — complex tools in an increasingly crowded market that marketing technologists use to manage their web, mobile, email, and social marketing efforts. And we need your help.
Take our 8-minute, 20-question user survey and, in exchange, we’ll share the data with you. Whether you’re fully satisfied, frustrated, or confused, your input will help you and your peers learn about this important yet complex marketing technology.

Modern marketing is increasingly about personalizing customer experiences, which requires greater coordination of messaging. Marketing Automation is a technology at the heart of orchestrating customer experience.
These tools go beyond just “automation.” For companies that implement them, they are often a core component in the coordination of cross-channel marketing efforts. For the same reason, it is the key component at the heart of Marketing Clouds.
Note: If you’re a vendor on the list, we’ll be publishing a vendor survey shortly (and we’ll update this post).
