In her recent blog, Lori Wizdo, principal analyst, Forrester Research points out the problem. "Marketing automation can transform a company's marketing operations. These solutions deliver scalability, root out excess cost, improve marketing execution, and provide the basis for continuous incremental process improvement. Still many marketing exes hold back on investing in marketing automation. They fear the concurrent assimilation of new tactics, processes, and automation will unduly stress their marketing organization. But, the transformation is necessary, and the stress unavoidable. Marketing execs need to proactively address the 'people part' of their lead-to-revenue transformation."(1)
That's the exact challenge the Marketing Nation will address. The Marketing Nation is physically connected and able to share marketing best practices and programs on a single marketing platform. By joining others in the Marketing Nation, the power of the network connects members to a complete ecosystem of complementary offerings, partnerships and services designed to accelerate the practice of marketing across the globe with a powerful shared vision.
The Marketing Nation enables new levels of performance by uniting thousands of successful customers with an extensible marketing platform. Marketo is the only vendor that offers a platform that combines the system of record, workflow, time-series analytics and network sharing capabilities with unlimited integration opportunities. "We're excited to invite members into this Marketing Nation," said Phil Fernandez, chief executive officer of Marketo. "The Marketing Nation will give members access to an entire suite of best practices, partners, communities and services that allow them to execute at the speed and level of the best marketers in the world."
The Marketing Nation celebrates shared values, aspirational goals, vision and passion that cross all borders. By joining the Marketing Nation, members can harness the power of the many along with a core platform that has never before been available to marketers. This creates a network effect that strengthens with each additional member.

-- The power of the network by joining a marketing community comprised of
21,000 engaged users with rich experience and institutional knowledge to
speed marketing processes.
