Problem

Operating as a single, seamless marketing solution did not come easily. Already standing alone as its own CRM and integrated with Eloqua for its marketing automation, the NetSuite team needed a solution to get actionable with the powerful engagement data coming from webinar leads. They wanted a seamless integration that would allow them to automate intelligent follow up with attendees and leads. With this type of integration, it was also important to:

  • Target leads already in its database and connects with them through relevant content
  • Create engaging, directed follow up that kept the customer interacting with different forms of content over time so that they continuously would have a reason to return
