Independent Research Firm Ranks SproutLoud a Leader in Through-Channel Marketing Automation
Forrester Research recognized SproutLoud as a leader in Through Channel Marketing Automation (TCMA) in a report evaluating top TCMA providers.
In The Forrester Wave™: Through-Channel Marketing Automation, Q2 2018 report, among all TCMA vendors, SproutLoud received among the highest 2 scores in the category of strategy and the criteria of technology and supporting products and services.
