Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief
Marketo, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKTO), this week announced a strategic relationship and integration with Gimbal, Inc., a leader in location and proximity-based mobile engagement. Through this integration, marketers can better personalize their engagement and communicate with customers and prospects wherever they are with the use of mobile location technology.
Marketo will be hosting a live demonstration of this technology at #CannesLions Data & Innovation Festival – specifically Thursday, June 25, from 10:54 to 11:04 a.m. in the Palais des Festivals, where attendees will be able to see how Marketo is revolutionizing location-based marketing by leveraging powerful Gimbal technology in combination with marketing automation.
Gimbal, currently a member of Marketo’s LaunchPoint™ partner ecosystem, is integrated into Marketo’s recently launched Mobile Marketing Engagement platform. The Gimbal platform provides marketers with valuable location information, which can be passed through the client’s engagement marketing engine, signaling next steps for marketers based on opt-in customer behavioral data.
Steve Sloan, senior vice president of partnerships and product strategy at Marketo told us “The future of marketing is centered on marketers’ ability to engage their customers everywhere. By teaming up with Gimbal, marketers now have access to both rich proximity data and customer behavioral data from Marketo so they can send the right message at the right time. By bringing mobile into a comprehensive marketing strategy, we are continuing to break down silos so marketers can demonstrate innovation and business impact on their organizations.”
