A great deal has been written about the benefits of marketing automation as well as guidance on campaign strategy and technical set-up. But what about the less obvious questions? For instance, what sort of team do you need to successfully implement marketing automation? And how do you introduce marketing automation to the rest of the business?

There isn’t much information out there on these ‘softer’ subjects. So I thought the best thing to do was to speak to senior marketing practitioners who are ‘at the coalface’, solving these problems on a daily basis. After interviewing more than 30 marketing automation practitioners from all over the world, I have captured their unique stories and insights on how they faced and overcame significant challenges.

I hope you find their stories engaging and, more importantly, useful, wherever you are on your marketing automation journey.

As a journalist, broadcaster and producer, I learned the art of finding and telling other people’s stories; then, later in life, as a creative director, I had the privilege of helping world-class brands create stories that connected with customers beyond the product benefits. In 2014, I set myself the task of writing a book that would provide a process to enable anyone to create their own authentic business story. I have made the process as simple as possible so that it is easy to action.
