following criteria:

operations; while it supports planning and coordinating, it must connect with endpoint execution tools
to activate plans.” According to Aprimo’s vendor profile in the Forrester evaluation, Aprimo’s suite is a
“a well-balanced solution” and “provides an extensive list of integrations across each of the four MRM
workflows” and received the highest scores possible in Brand Management sub-criteria:

Among the additional criteria in which Aprimo received the highest score possible was in the Marketing

tracking performance metrics, and demonstrate marketing alignment with broader business strategies
in order to drive business decisions.
“I’m delighted with the further validation of Aprimo’s value in helping organizations digitally transform
the upstream activities to produce timely content and campaign experiences. We’re seeing digital and
marketing operations teams use agile methodologies with Aprimo to deliver the brand experience faster
