What is marketing automation?
Marketing automation centralizes and automates core tasks such as email campaigns, social scheduling, lead scoring and retargeting. By coordinating channels and data, it ensures the right content reaches the right person at the right time, improving conversion and marketing ROI.
Rather than manual list pulls and ad‑hoc blasts, marketing automation listens for behavior (page views, form fills, email engagement), scores intent, segments audiences and triggers the next best step automatically.
A key advantage is lead nurturing: through targeted content and automated segmentation, leads move from awareness to consideration and into qualified conversations for sales.
Effective marketing automation tools also integrate natively with your CRM. This enables tight sales‑marketing alignment, continuous nurturing and precise tracking of interactions, saving time while increasing personalization and timing accuracy.
