What is an Integrated Campaign? 6-9 Week Nurture Program – Set It and Go!
You upload lists, insert logos and customize campaign
Automated Workflow Begins
Includes 6 s, 20 social posts, 3 microsites and banners
They are comprised of 3 sections, if you will:
For these fully integrated digital campaigns, Oracle choose to work with Zift’s Creative Services Agency to create these multi tiered module campaigns:
1. Introduction "Awareness" Module:
The start of a story, to bring awareness of a problem to the audience, and bringing information and studied about the problem to the audience. "Most SMBs in the world, lose money due to this factor, and this is how much it could be costing you. See the report"
2. Product / Solution Module:
Usually, this module follows up on the story introduced in the first step, by introducing a solution, and the benefits / features of the solution. This is the hard sell, but related to the story already told and thus doesn't feel like we're just shoving product down a prospect's throat.
3. Validation Module:
From here, we tackle the prospects that are aware, of the problem and the solution, yet aren't convinced. A validation follow-up module usually provides prospects with the ideas that this solution works. Case studies, quotes, reports of success in data sheets. Anything to validate that this product works, and 'is cool'.
Oracle Autonomous Data - Workflow

Each of these integrated campaigns is a 9-week automated nurture program consisting of multiple s, 20 social posts, microsites/landing pages, and ad banners. Partners add their logo and messaging, set it and forget it. Then collect the leads at the end of the campaign.

14. Why Should You Care About Marketing Automation?
Marketing is not about any single activity anymore.  You need to execute integrated, multi-channel campaigns to create viable leads
Since buyers educate themselves before they engage with sales; partners need to use marketing to educate them earlier in the sales cycle while they are doing their research, i.e. - build a “digital-relationship with the buyer”
Marketing programs should be aligned by the buying cycle and buyer persona to drive effectiveness
Digital marketing activities are a critical to your marketing success (social, digital advertising, content syndication, etc.)
So just in summary – why should you care about Marketing Automation?
