Their traditional approach to marketing prioritized product launches and sales enablement. Marketing leadership was ready to embark on a digital journey to build demand/lead gen through deeper audience engagement, but they faced challenges including:
- Needed expertise and capacity in marketing team to leverage digital channels
- Existing MarTech licenses (Salesforce Pardot) underutilized, with minimal email channel use and no lead scoring
- Content creation was not prioritized, with opportunity to ideate and optimize with SEO in mind
- Desire for marketing to intentionally foster meaningful customer relationships and contribute more directly to revenue goals with sales
