LookBookHQ's supercharged integration with Marketo empowers marketers to deliver personalized content and track real engagement

SAN FRANCISCO, April 14, 2015 /CNW/ - LookBookHQ, the leading engagement marketing platform focusing on personalized content, today released a major update to its integration with Marketo, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKTO), the leading provider of engagement marketing software and solutions. The supercharged integration allows Marketo customers to use the LookBook Content Canvas to design and deliver personalized content experiences – and makes LookBooks' real-time-based engagement data actionable within Marketo.

"The combination of LookBooks and Marketo lets us engage our audience with the right content when we've got their attention," said Tracy Staniland, vice president of Marketing, Asigra, a joint LookBooks and Marketo customer. "Adding LookBooks to our Marketo-powered demand generation and lead nurturing activities allows us to effectively capture, inform and guide engaged prospective buyers through a visually interactive experience tailored to their needs."

"Getting anyone's attention is hard, so when you've got it, you need to hold on to it," said Nick Edouard, LookBookHQ Co-founder and President. "If you're using Marketo for marketing automation, campaign management and personalization, then you're our kind of savvy digital marketer. LookBooks help customers take their marketing programs to the next level by improving the content experience and maximizing engagement."

Prospects want to engage with content – lots of it – before they buy. According to the 2015 Content Preferences Survey¹ conducted by Demand Gen Report, when asked how vendors could improve the quality of their content, 53 percent strongly recommended that marketers package related content together.

"Marketers today are building long-term customer relationships that advance a conversation over time. To do this, they need innovative solutions that help them engage customers and prospects in a relevant and personalized way," said Lou Pelosi, senior director of LaunchPoint™ at Marketo. "We're excited to have LookBooks integrate more deeply with our platform to further empower marketers with a richer data set about their customers."

LookBooks enable marketers to take their prospects on a journey through multiple pieces of relevant content in the same session – guided by what they know about their audience and how they behave. The new Content Canvas lets marketers design a more rewarding, personalized content journey by delivering the right sequence of content to prospects while they've got their attention.
