70% Faster Global Rollouts with Regional Campaign Standardization in Marketo

Client Overview — A Global Enterprise with Regional Teams Running in Silos

A global enterprise ran marketing across dozens of regions, each with its own team and workflows. While local teams valued flexibility, the lack of global standards led to duplicated effort, inconsistent branding, and slow rollouts. Marketing leadership struggled to ensure consistency without stifling regional agility.

Challenges — Local Autonomy Without Alignment

• Duplicated Effort Across Regions: Similar campaigns were rebuilt from scratch in each market.
  
• Inconsistent Branding: Campaigns varied widely in tone, design, and compliance.
  
• Slow Time-to-Market: Global launches took months as each region reinterpreted campaign materials.
  
• Limited Visibility: Leadership couldn’t easily compare results or track performance across regions.
