180 days of AI in marketing operations: the real numbers
We deployed MOPsy, our AI agent for marketing operations, inside a global financial services company's Eloqua instance for a 180-day pilot. The goal was to find out whether an AI agent could meaningfully reduce the time and effort required for campaign operations: building emails, creating campaigns, running QA, and handling the repetitive operational tasks that consume most of a MOPs team's week. Six months later, we have results. Some of them are exactly what we expected. O


How our Canada based luxury holiday client saved their Marketo instance - and turned email into a revenue engine
For our luxury holiday client, this wasn’t a “nice-to-have” optimisation project. It was an existential one. Email performance was flat. Marketo was under scrutiny. And the CEO had made it very clear: Prove the value of the platform and the team behind it in 2025, or both were gone.

Teams were spread thin, chasing the same prospects, and struggling to understand wh

A platform rep with a polished deck, a case study from a brand you have heard of, and a set of audience numbers that make the channel sound like an unmissable opportunity. The reach is enormous. The engagement rates are impressive. The targeting options are expanding. The message, delivered with confidence, is that your B2B buyers are already on this platform and you are missing them by not being there. The platform might be Sna


AI changed the work before anyone changed the roles
The marketing operations analyst who spent three years building email campaigns now spends half their day writing prompts, reviewing AI-generated content, validating automated data transformations, and debugging workflows that an AI tool configured. Their job title has not changed. Their job description has not changed. Their performance review will evaluate them on the same criteria as last year. But the work they do every day bears almost no resemblance to the work they wer


Performance marketing is a dependency
There was a period, roughly 2015 to 2022, when performance marketing felt like the answer to everything. You could target the right audience, measure the result in real time, optimize based on data, and tie every pound spent to a trackable outcome.
