Objective of Seismic’s Integration with Marketo

The result is the same hyper-personalized experience leads have become accustomed to at the top of the funnel through marketing automation platforms, now at every touchpoint throughout the buyer’s journey, from first interaction to close. Demand Metric found that 80 percent of B2B enterprises say sales objectives are better met through such personalized experiences.

Benefits to the Joint Customers

Single, Superior Source of Marketing and Sales Content

Seismic’s workflow and versioning capabilities can now be applied to all marketing content through Marketo, and via LiveDocs® technology, materials automatically stay up to date with the latest logos, product information, and other brand assets.

Real-Time Sales Content Consumption Analytics

Through the new integration, Seismic’s sales content usage and engagement analytics, which reveal in real-time when and for how long prospects interact with sales content, and whether they share it with others, can now be incorporated into Marketo’s lead scoring functionality.

Advanced Campaign Segmentation and Better Reporting

Seismic’s LiveSend analytics track when prospects have engaged with a piece of content and for how long—down to the individual pages. Incorporating Seismic into areas such as Marketo email templates and landing pages opens up new data-backed insights for advanced campaign segmentations based on content engagement. And, with these new analytics capabilities, marketers now have a 360-degree look into how buyers interact with all content created by marketing teams, from the first touch to close.

Deeper Insights into Marketing Campaigns

The result is higher quality leads being passed from marketing to sales, along with the complete look into what marketing campaigns are most effective when it comes to actually closing deals. Research firm SiriusDecisions has noted that such alignment between marketing and sales achieves 19 percent faster revenue growth and 15% higher profitability.

Powerful Email Deliverability for Sales

Sales users can send Seismic content equipped with LiveSend analytics through Marketo to either hand selected recipients or pre-defined targets, leveraging Marketo’s unsurpassed email deliverability.
