Boston Cloudforce Tour a Success for Marketbright

Marketbright was one of twelve premium sponsors of the salesforce.com Cloudforce Tour event today. Marketbright is the marketing automation leader in the cloud, allowing companies to easily leverage their website as a camapaign.

I had a chance to speak to many people in the Boston area about their experiences on salesforce.com, and their needs around marketing and sales. The one thing I concluded from today was that Marketbright's ability to deliver easy inegration of marketing campaigns directly to companies website solves a huge pain point for many marketers.

B2B Selling relies on providing an information conversation

Marketing Automation has solved a really complicated problem.

The problem of delivering the right content to the right prospect at the right time across the right medium.

Delivering this information to the prospect should ideally take them along a sophisticated conversation trail. Marketing Automation provides an information conversation by automatically setting up lead nurturing to be delivered to a prospect based on what will give them the greatest propensity to become a customer.

Each piece of marketing content needs to be easily pushed out across marketing channels from a single campaign source. This gives marketing managers the ability to set-up multi-channel testing to optimize the prospect conversation experience. Increasing conversion rates and rapidly deploying and delivering information automatically from a single campaign source gives marketing managers complete transparency into what used to be a really complicated problem.
