Designed to complement existing CRM platforms, Marketo allows companies to dramatically increase their revenue – by as much as 40 percent – by developing a new, transparent relationship between marketing and sales. With Marketo's marketing automation and sales effectiveness capabilities, companies can deploy, track and manage all demand generation efforts, hand off only the hottest leads to sales, and ultimately close the right deals faster. Along the way, Marketo's revenue analytics gives users an instant view of their revenue cycle at any given moment to report marketing ROI, make real-time adjustments based on performance, and drive predictable revenue growth.
In describing the award, top industry analysts praised Marketo's ease-of-use and rich functionality, which allow companies of any size to get up and running quickly with an effective revenue performance management strategy.
Said Michael Fauscette of IDC: "Marketo took a 'completely fresh-from-the-start, ground-up approach' to marketing automation. They have a really good interface, really good user experience, and they built out a really deep set of functionality pretty quickly and have gotten good traction. Although it's a relatively new solution, it is more feature-rich than some of the major players in this market."
Ray Wang of Constellation Research added, "Usability also establishes Marketo as the leader. Marketo's the hot darling in the space, as we see users gravitate to its user experience and ease of design."
"We are honored to be recognized the winner in the marketing solutions category by such a prestigious publication in the CRM industry," said Paul Albright, chief revenue officer at Marketo. "The award reflects our hard work and leadership in this new category of business technology – Revenue Performance Management. We are dedicated to making it easy for any company to break down the barriers between marketing and sales to deliver dramatic revenue growth."
