Executive Insights: Act-On CEO Highlights Emergence of “Small Marketing Teams
Act-On Software, a provider of integrated, cloud-based marketing platforms, reported a 400% year-over-year growth in Q3 2011, and passed the 500thcustomer mark with the addition of 164 new customers. Additionally, the Portland, OR-based company reported big plans to expand various components of its business model, including a greater international presence to serve the rapidly growing European market.
While players in the automation space have traditionally been segregated as serving enterprise level or small- to medium-size businesses (SMBs), Act-On is catering to a new market segment — the small marketing team, or SMT. The small marketing team may be part of a larger enterprise that requires specific treatment of campaigns and programs.
This new breed of marketing automation users has blurred the lines between enterprise-level and SMB organizations, providing vendors with the opportunity to capitalize on this growing need for operational efficiency.
