  9. Vendor Profile: Marketo CUSTOMER CASE STUDY Study Participant Information Name: Jennifer O’Brien – Director of Marketing, Egencia Company: Egencia Company Information: Egencia offers global integrated technology, tailored local service and modern mobile solutions to enhance business travel. Egencia has successfully brought the technology heritage, relentless focus on user experience and innovative spirit of its parent company, Expedia, Inc., into the enterprise. Product/Service Purchased: Marketo Professional Edition Length of Relationship: 4 years Problem/Challenge: Egencia needed to email customers and prospects from within Salesforce.com and connect with customers in a more meaningful way. In addition, they had no insights into open and click-through rates, or any ability to segment, track and engage prospects based on buying behavior. This resulted in missed opportunities, strained resources and a frustrated sales force. Egencia was looking for an intelligent platform to manage its outreach campaigns, ensure messaging was relevant and track leads properly for sales action. 9 © 2014 Demand Metric Research Corporation.

  10. Vendor Profile: Marketo CUSTOMER CASE STUDY “Before we got Marketo, when we sent out an email, it was like throwing a dart in the dark. We knew we hit something, but we didn’t know what we hit. Since using Marketo, we’ve observed a tremendous number of benefits. We have measurable ROI, which is something we weren’t able to offer with other tools. As a sales manager, Marketo has made my life easier. It has given me insights into the actions, and quite often, inactions of the team that I didn’t have visibility into before. It allows us to focus in on the leads that have a high probability of closing now.” - Jennifer O’Brien, Director of Marketing, Egencia Experience with Product/Vendor: After an unsuccessful Marketing Automation product implementation and facing extremely limited resources, Egencia turned to Marketo. Following a thorough evaluation of products on the market, Marketo stood out with its unique ability to generate, nurture, qualify and close more high quality sales leads with less effort. Working closely with Marketo’s implementation team, Egencia was able to deploy the Marketo solution within weeks. Results  Dramatic improvement in marketing productivity and customer engagement  Measurable, higher marketing ROI  Strategic alignment of sales and marketing  Unmatched lead visibility to drive higher revenues & wallet share © 2014 Demand Metric Research Corporation.

  11. Vendor Profile: Marketo ANALYST PERSPECTIVE Based on independent research and case studies conducted with Marketo customers, Demand Metric believes that Marketo provides a comprehensive Email Marketing and Marketing Automation platform with advanced features that enable customer engagement with customized, digital experiences. Marketo’s experience and commitment to functionality enhancements has earned them a place as a leader in the market. As of April 2014, Marketo continues to add products, services and features (i.e. Real-Time Personalization and Marketing Management tools) that can improve the digital experience for customers. From these new additions, it is clear that Marketo’s focus is currently on all of the activities surrounding how customers interact with businesses and how businesses can, in turn, improve their interactions with customers. As technologies continue to advance functionality to improve the overall customer experience in this space, it will be interesting to see how Marketo integrates all of their new products and features for each organization’s needs and how they maintain support for all of this new functionality for their large client base. With so much growth in the Marketo platform over the last few years, Demand Metric is eager to see how Marketo will advance in the future. Given the above criteria, Demand Metric would encourage companies seeking a comprehensive Email Marketing and Marketing Automation solution that focuses on customer engagement to consider the Marketo platform during their vendor selection process. 12 © 2014 Demand Metric Research Corporation.
