How We Complement Teams With An Outsourced Demand Center

Background

The client's marketing plan was bold, but the client’s internal resources were stretched very thin, making it hard to fully plan, execute and measure all their campaigns. Running even just a webinar, for example, required a registration process and numerous personalized communications both pre- and post-event.

The team lacked the tactical skills needed to run the campaigns, manage the marketing automation platform, and also work on any process improvements. The client came to Macro because of our experience solving these marketing operations bottlenecks.

The Advantages of Managed Services

Scale: Organizations that use agencies can scale their growth faster.
Efficiency: No need to spend the time finding a specific skillset, onboarding, and training new employees.
Focus: Let the experts handle the marketing operations bottlenecks so you can plan your next strategies.
