Marketing Automation in Asia Pacific: Trends, Insights, Best Practice Guide
emarsys, a global leader in cloud-based marketing solutions, together with Econsultancy, a worldwide independent community-based publisher, have released a white paper “Marketing Automation in Asia Pacific - Best Practice Guide”.
It takes an unbiased look at the role of marketing automation software across Asia Pacific (APAC) and covers both, the marketing and technical aspects of marketing automation, as well as the potential uses and benefits for marketing automation across the region.
According to Econsultancy, 21% of Asian companies – both agency and client-side – anticipate increasing investment in marketing automation technology in the coming year. Market watcher IDC predicts the marketing automation sector will reach a value of $4.8 billion in 2015, up from $3.2 billion in 2010.
In addition, company culture is now the most significant obstacle to digital marketing investment in 2013. Around 39% said that this is a top-three barrier to digital marketing spend, significantly up from 26% in 2012.
A major key to success is taking a long-term view, according to emarsys’ Managing Director for APAC, Ohad Hecht:
"As Asia-Pacific quickly moves into digitalisation, companies and brands strive to provide better engagement and experience across email, web, social and mobile channels. Hence next generation marketing needs to be thought of in the context of the full customer lifecycle with a focus on customer lifetime value – it’s only then that organisations will fully reap the rewards of marketing automation. At emarsys, we combine our knowledge, services and insights in a way that makes digital engagement for our clients more meaningful. Therefore we decided to join forces with Econsultancy, an authority within the digital space to offer best practices and our industry expertise to interested parties across Asia Pacific.”
