Marketing operations (MOPs) is a broad term that encompasses the end-to-end management and optimization of business’ marketing processes.
It involves the intelligent use of data, analytics, infrastructure, and best practices to support and execute an organization’s marketing strategy.
Essential actions and considerations when executing effective MOPs include:
Establishing the critical needs of a business.
Specifying necessary MOPs functions.
Building an optimized MOPs team of various professionals.
Freeing up team capacity to perform MOPs.
Building a potential roadmap for success.
Identifying scaling and improvement opportunities.
Exploring any further supporting processes and requirements.

Key outcomes:
93% of B2B Companies agree that formal Marketing Operations are essential (B2B Marketing,net, 2020).
Marketing inefficiency costs companies $958 million a year (Gleanster research, 2020).
Good MOPs can result in a 15%-25% boost in ROI and customer engagement (Mckinsey, 2015).
97% of companies with a named MOPs function say their marketing is better aligned to key business outcomes (Sojourn, 2020).
Organizations that begin executing MOPs usually encounter two primary constraints that limit their growth and customer engagement potential. Marketing campaigns take a considerable amount of time and resources. This is only compounded by the attributes of a varied customer audience.
In order to scale, these campaigns increase in complexity and volume, demanding more from MOPs team members than many companies can provide for. This has a detrimental effect on service levels, engagement penetration and overall marketing efficiency.
While conducting demanding marketing activities, MOPs teams are expected to keep abreast of the latest developments in their existing technology and the advances of industry best practice. This is especially relevant for SaaS businesses, as tools within this sector continuously evolve and improve.
Due to this, MOPs teams have to cope with additional pressure in an endless cycle of discovery, training, integration and adaptation.
