Align → Connect → Design → Score/Route → Nurture → Measure → Govern

  • Connect data: Sync CRM accounts/contacts, product & opportunity data; establish subscription centers and consent.
  • Design journeys: Use Campaign/Program Canvas for welcome, nurture, event/webinar, and re-engagement flows.
  • Score & route: Build fit + behavior scoring models; send sales-ready leads to CRM queues with alerts.
  • Nurture intelligently: Progressive profiling on forms, dynamic content, and triggered follow-ups.
  • Measure what matters: Pipeline, win rate, velocity; email and campaign engagement leading indicators.
  • Govern & optimize: Asset naming, taxonomy, compliance checks, an archive plan, and quarterly model tuning.
