Marketing teams go to great lengths to get messaging out to customers and prospects in order to sell products or services. There are numerous assets from the content marketing teams explaining features and benefits. There are hundreds of marketing automation and monitoring tools to measure effectiveness and speed delivery or listen to social chatter.
