Conversion Gusto
Built for the Gusto marketing team

Reach Gusto's smallest customers without third-party data

Enrichment thins out at the low end of the market, and the audience logic that fills the gap lives in a different system than the sending. Conversion is the agentic marketing automation platform that builds segments from Snowflake and runs the campaigns in the same place.

The challenge

When your best data is your own

Gusto's warehouse already knows more about a twenty-person business than any vendor list will sell you. Turning that into a campaign is where the stack gets complicated.

Enrichment can't see your buyer

Third-party data gets thin below a certain company size, and that is exactly where your core audience sits. The signal you need is in your own product and billing data, not in a purchased list.

The audience and the send live apart

Segments get built in one system and sent from another, so no single platform knows what a customer actually received. Marketo narrows to an email endpoint while the real logic happens somewhere else.

Agents are only as good as their upkeep

Brand guidelines, voice, and review rules have to stay current or the output degrades. Someone ends up maintaining the agent layer instead of shipping campaigns with it.

Conversion Agents

Agents you don't have to maintain

The review loop, the permission scoping, and the audit trail come with the platform. Agents draft campaigns and audiences, QA before send, and keep the operational work moving, with a person approving everything.

Drafts inside your guardrails

Agents write campaigns and build audiences within the brand and permission rules your team sets, and every draft goes to a human before it ships. Governance ships with the platform instead of becoming another system to maintain.

The recurring work, handled

List hygiene, pre-send QA, sync monitoring, intake triage, and scheduled reporting run on their own. Your team reviews the output instead of scheduling the work.

The data layer

Snowflake as the segment, not just the source

Connect Snowflake and your CRM natively so tables and views become usable objects: available in segments, personalization, and workflow triggers. Firmographics you own, product usage, and lifecycle stage sit in one context layer, so the audience enrichment cannot build gets built from your own data.

The migration

Moving off Marketo without a stall

Marketo stays live while Conversion runs in parallel. Our team handles the move and yours keeps shipping the whole time, with an average migration of about four weeks.

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.

Used by MOps teams replacing Marketo, Pardot, and HubSpot.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

About four weeks on average. Every migration is led by a dedicated deployment strategist, with forward-deployed engineers moving your programs, smart lists, email templates, and scoring models. Marketo stays live in parallel the whole way, and nothing is cut over until it has been verified against the original.

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 CRM custom objects. Marketing ops configures it in the UI, no engineering tickets required.

The governance is built in. Every agent is permission-scoped, approval-first, and fully auditable, and they handle the recurring work: audience building from plain-English requests, pre-send campaign QA, list hygiene, intake triage, and sync monitoring. Your team sets the guardrails and reviews the output rather than maintaining the plumbing underneath.

No. 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.
