Let's de-mystify the essentials of Marketing Automation Software vs. CRM Software!

💡Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a software that manages all customer relationships, data, and profiles. The primary goal of a CRM is to help sales teams stay connected to their customers and manage all interactions during the sales process in one place.

💡Marketing Automation streamlines day-to-day marketing and sales tasks through automating email, web, and social campaigns. When marketers are bogged down and have various items moving around, marketing automation can handle repetitive tasks like segmenting, nurturing, scoring, and lead generation.

When these two platforms are effectively integrated, they provide your organization with a big-picture lens on the ROI for your marketing efforts.

Stay tuned for more CRM facts and information!

We’re happy to have him on our team!

A happy ending 🥹 Our designer Mackenzie and her partner Michelle recently opened their home and hearts to two foster kitten siblings: Ficus and Fern from Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC).

For 5 weeks, they provided a safe place for the tiny kittens to grow strong and healthy until they were old enough for public adoption thru MADACC.

Mackenzie shared frequent updates of the adorable siblings & we all became very fond of them. So much so, that Ficus and Robin (aka Fern) will remain in the McDill family!

Ficus was adopted by Rachel, our digital account executive, and Robin was adopted by Alex, our digital content specialist.
