This is the third episode on Marketing Automation introducing the last paper on that topic. Uwe welcomes the young sympathetic Marketing professional from Mexico and talks with her about her case study on MA from a multi-national company. Based on Mariana´s experience MA can serve as a central docking station that brings together other important marketing technologies (MarTech), which according to research amount to about 8.000 solutions as of 2020. Mariana considers this fact and the fact that the decision-making processes for technology investments within B2B organizations are driven by cross-functional stakeholders as main reasons why choosing the right marketing automation platform must be considered as an endeavor involving a great deal of alignment efforts and probably a redefinition of the role of marketing within the organization. This podcast episode gives a sympathetic insight into this highly interesting practical contribution to the book.
