  • Marketing automation: email marketing/e-newsletters, SMS text, automated journeys and workflows
  • Targeted display advertising
  • Paid social media

  • In-person events

Convert

Execute targeted outreach: Implement effective outreach strategies, including personalized email marketing, nurture journeys, social media engagement, direct mail campaigns, and one-on-one outreach.
