Understanding Campaign Bottlenecks

Marketing teams often experience delays in campaign launches due to their reliance on engineering and operations for implementation. This dependence stems from the need to send tailored messages, requiring intricate data and custom events, which often lead to bottlenecks as teams wait for technical support. Many marketers become frustrated when their campaigns stall in backlogs, often related to overly ambitious expectations and the ideal of personalization. To overcome these issues, it is essential for marketers to prioritize actionable Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) to expedite campaign rollout by focusing on what can be accomplished quickly rather than perfecting every detail.
