Marketing Automation
Marketing automation runs lifecycle programs — drip emails, lead scoring, behavioral triggers, attribution — at scale without a human touching each contact.
What is marketing automation?
Marketing automation is the platform category (and the practice) that runs lifecycle programs at scale: lead capture, scoring, segmentation, drip campaigns, behavioral triggers, attribution. HubSpot, Marketo, Pardot, Customer.io, and Braze are common implementations.
Why it matters
- Scales lifecycle programs that would otherwise need a marketer per cohort
- Centralizes attribution, scoring, and segmentation
- Connects the dots between marketing activity and pipeline
What modern marketing automation includes
- Lead capture and progressive profiling
- Behavioral triggers and event-driven sends
- Multi-channel coordination (email + SMS + push + ads)
- Lead scoring + handoff to CRM
- Attribution and reporting
