Software for Marketing Teams

Research, campaign execution and reporting for in-house marketing.

Marketing stacks fragment quickly: a tool for SEO, one for email, one for social, one for landing pages, and no single view of what worked. The consolidation question is worth asking before every new subscription.

The picks below cover research, execution and reporting, and favour tools whose data can be pulled into one place.
