Addressing Challenges with Solutions

Lack of Local Execution Resources in EMEA

Macro's delivery team based in Romania augmented the client, offering availability in EMEA time zones.

As team, we focused on:
  • Email Campaign Creation & Execution
  • Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)

Filling Gap Left Due to Email Marketing Manager Resigning

Macro assigned a senior consultant for staff, augmenting the client's management team in the interim.

The outsourced marketing operations manager was able to manage campaigns end-to-end.

Eliminating MarTech Stack Confusion

Macro identified redundant functionality of different marketing tools used, and saved costs by terminating those subscriptions.

Macro senior consultants identified and fixed several issues with the data integration of the Marketo marketing automation platform with Salesforce CRM. This provided faster leads to sales and enriched data.
