Turn every Alation signal into an orchestrated campaign
Intent, job changes, project data, and product usage each live in their own tool, and segmentation still comes down to title, account type, and industry. Conversion is the agentic marketing automation platform that puts those signals in one data model, then runs the campaigns off them.

A well-run instance with a queue in front of it
Alation's programs work. The constraint is what it takes to get one built, and how little of the signal data your GTM team already pays for can reach a segment.
Lead times longer than the build
The intake SLA is measured in weeks. The build itself is closer to half an hour. The gap is review cycles, list prep, and the queue in front of everything else the team owes somebody.
Self-serve means handing over the instance
Letting field marketing build their own programs means trusting them with a shared instance and no guardrails. So every request routes back to the same operator, and the backlog grows from both ends.
Signals scattered across the stack
Intent, job changes, project data, and product usage each sit in their own tool. Marketo has no native warehouse integration and treats custom objects as second-class, so segmentation falls back to title, account type, and industry.
A brief in, a built campaign out
Field marketing submits the request, an agent drafts the campaign and the audience, and your team approves before anything ships. Permission-scoped and fully auditable, so self-serve never means losing control of the instance.
Intake that answers with a draft
MOps Intake picks up the request, drafts the campaign and audience inside your templates and guardrails, and routes it for review. The human in the loop stays. The blank-page build goes away.
No more manual list prep
List hygiene handles normalization and deduplication on a schedule, and sync monitoring flags a broken sync before it becomes a support thread. Nobody hand-cleans a spreadsheet to get a campaign out the door.

The signals your SDR team acts on, in your segments
Connect Salesforce and Snowflake natively, including custom objects, so intent, job changes, and product usage sit in the same model as your contacts and accounts. Segment on what an account is actually doing instead of what industry it is in.

Everything your Marketo instance runs today
Campaigns work like programs, with member statuses, Salesforce campaign syncing, and hierarchical folder organization. Nurtures, scoring, forms, landing pages, and reporting tied back to pipeline all carry over, so this is an upgrade to what already works rather than a rebuild of it.
Dynamic Email Studio
Drag-and-drop builder with live CRM and warehouse fields. Hyper-personalize every message with dynamic content blocks.
Query Engine & Segmentation
Trigger workflows from CRM changes, product events, and enrichment data. Build audiences with a powerful query builder.
Campaigns & Folders
Organize and manage campaigns at scale with folders, tagging, and team collaboration.
Real-Time Workflows
Visual workflow builder with branching, delays, and AI-powered actions that trigger in real time.
Forms & Pages
Build branded forms and landing pages that feed directly into your workflows. No need for separate tools.
CRM Sync & Auditing
Enterprise Salesforce sync with bidirectional updates, conflict resolution, and full audit logs.
Reporting
Campaign performance tied to pipeline and revenue by persona, segment, and lifecycle stage.
Liquid Templating
Advanced personalization with Liquid syntax for conditional content, loops, and dynamic blocks.
A/B Testing
Test subject lines, content, send times, and workflows to optimize every touchpoint.
RBAC Controls
Fine-grained role-based access control for teams. Enterprise-grade permissions.
Four weeks, and almost none of your bandwidth
Bandwidth is the real blocker, so we take the work. Marketo stays live while Conversion runs in parallel, and forward-deployed engineers move the programs, lists, templates, and scoring models.
Forward-deployed engineers run it
FDEs migrate your workflows, lists, templates, and scoring models, then QA every component before anything goes live.
About 1-2 hours a week from your team
For roughly three weeks. That's the full time commitment while the migration runs in the background.
Parallel run, zero downtime
Nothing is cut over until every workflow has been verified against the Marketo original. No dark period, no lost sends.
A team that stays embedded
Deployment strategists work inside your marketing org through launch and beyond, with structured workshops in the first weeks and as many as your team wants after.

Frequently asked questions
About one to two hours a week for roughly three weeks. Every migration is led by a dedicated deployment strategist, with forward-deployed engineers moving your programs, smart lists, email templates, and scoring models. The average timeline is about four weeks, running in parallel with Marketo the whole way.
Yes. Conversion connects natively to Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, and PostgreSQL. Tables and views become usable objects in the platform: available in segments, personalization, and workflow triggers, alongside your Salesforce custom objects. Marketing ops configures it in the UI, no engineering tickets required.
Agents take the request and do the build, then wait for you. They handle ticket intake and triage, audience building from plain-English requests, pre-send campaign QA, list hygiene, and sync monitoring. Every agent is permission-scoped, approval-first, and fully auditable, so nothing ships until marketing ops reviews it.
Yes. The platform is built for marketing operations teams at enterprise companies, but common tasks like building emails, creating segments, and launching workflows are straightforward. Teams evaluating both consistently tell us Conversion is more capable without being harder to use.
