Earlier this week, Marketo , the marketing automation company, held its second ever user conference in San Francisco. From Marketo’s perspective, I understand the need to frame marketing automation in ever more mission-critical terms. Systems like Marketo can be used to remind sales reps (via sales alerts) of untouched or stale leads.

I’m going to diverge just slightly from my current obsession with usability to talk about a conversation I had today with Marketo President and CEO Phil Fernandez, who previewed the 3.0 Although I actually think that quite a few demand generation vendors share the Marketo philosophy, it’s still helpful to hear the distinction made clearly.

Summary: Marketo continues to follow its own path. I finally caught up with Marketo for a briefing on their Enterprise Edition (announced in March) and Revenue Cycle Analytics (announced in May). Since both are somewhat old news, and Marketo describes them in detail on its Web site, I’ll just make a few comments.

Summary: Public data gives some insights into Marketo's financial history and prospects. Here’s a bit more on this week's $25 million investment in Marketo : a piece in VentureWire quotes revenue for Markteo as $4.5 But Marketo itself says the reported figures are indeed active clients and I've no basis to doubt them.

One of the audience members at the B2B Marketing University in Boston asked about demand generation systems for small businesses, and how to distinguish among the vendors in general. This has more to do with the degree of personal selling (and after-sale service) than anything else.

As you might imagine, I’ve been trying to decide how to expand the set of products covered in the Raab Guide to Demand Generation Systems. But I’ve also been approached by some of the other demand generation specialists. The general rule is pretty obvious: pick the vendors that people are most interested in.
