It’s no secret that marketing is expensive. In fact, marketing budgets have been on the rise for years now, and show no signs of slowing down. The reason for this is simple: in order to be successful, businesses need to market their products and services effectively. However, only a fraction of marketing budgets actually turn into marketing results. The rest is eaten up by technology costs, in-house salaries, and marketing consultants.
This is where marketing automation comes in. By using software to automate marketing tasks, businesses can save time and money. Marketing automation solutions are becoming more and more popular, as they offer a way to improve marketing efficiency and effectiveness.
There are many great examples of marketing automation solutions out there.

The latest on the market is Strategic Audience Map. It’s a data-driven marketing platform that tailored to help B2C-businesses save time and money by making marketing more accurate, faster, and cheaper to manage.
The reason marketing is so hard to manage is because it’s a complex process. There are many tasks that need to be performed in order to be successful, and it can be difficult to keep track of them all. marketing automation solutions can help by automating some of the tasks, making them easier and more efficient to perform.
Marketing consultants and media agencies provide their customers with expert advice and services that help them achieve their marketing goals. They can help with everything from creating marketing plans and budgets to executing the campaigns themselves. They have the experience and knowledge necessary to help businesses succeed in marketing, and can provide valuable insights and guidance. However, their services are less unique than they want you to know. Too many agencies re-use old media plans or have more or less the same media mix for all of their customers. i.e. the recipe is the same, only the person eating changes.
