Founded in 2007, Marketo (NASDAQ: MKTO) is the leader in digital marketing software and solutions, with a focus on digital, social and mobile technologies and how organizations and marketers need to interact with people. Called engagement marketing, Marketo’s vision is rooted in the idea that both the day-to-day jobs and the strategic role of marketing and sales professionals have been disrupted by repeated waves of change. Today, marketing departments are increasingly responsible for leading and shepherding their customer journeys, and as a result, have become more important to companies’ customer acquisition success, and ultimately, revenue growth.

Kenes is the only global PCO to integrate Marketo’s Best Practices for Email Marketing. “We have been using Marketo since the start of 2015 for all of our digital marketing. Marketo has really moved us to the forefront of marketing technologies,” said Ori Lahav, Director of Marketing at Kenes. “In just over six months, we have seen a 35 percent increase in the number of leads, as well as a 10 percent increase in click conversion rates. These numbers are amazing, considering we are still in the initial stages of implementation.”

Dedicated to improving and enhancing the congress delegate experience up to and including the event itself, increasing audience engagement is an integral part of the process and can make – or break any meeting. With Marketo, Kenes has launched successful email campaigns, deployed a new ERM strategy to further penetrate prospective audiences, and ultimately, increased a company-wide understanding of email marketing dynamics.
