About Maropost
Maropost is a cloud-based marketing automation platform designed to maximize organizational revenue through multi-channel customer engagement. Founded in 2011 by our CEO Ross Andrew-Paquette initially as an email platform, Maropost has evolved manifolds. It has now become a platform suitable for modern marketers to create engaging campaigns across all channels prospects: including SMS, mobile, social, and web.
Over the years, the team at Maropost has toiled hard to add more channels so that modern marketers are able to reach more customers. With an approach at ‘simplification’, they are aimed at providing their comprehensive marketing solution to every-size organization across industries in retail, hospitality, and publications. Their offering is simple yet robust – allowing customers to leverage the platform as their organizations grow – without having to retrofit the platform to their needs.
Ending organizations’ struggles for a scalable solution
The folks at Maropost believe that reporting should take a marketer three minutes, not three hours, and this is what their solution is aimed at. They know that growing marketing teams often struggle to find a solution that scales for their growth. With operations becoming more sophisticated and complex by each passing day, existing solutions fail to adapt and eventually grow obsolete, owing to incompetency. Struggling to do it all: start a blog for your brand, take care of the website’s user experience, manage social media channels, keep up with the latest trends in the industry, run campaigns back to back, manage the marketing engine – can be overwhelming.
In a pursuit to put together a workable marketing platform, organizations end up piling integrations upon the complex infrastructure that often demands more headcount to set-up, maintain, and run. They eventually become slow, difficult to maintain, and provide little insight into how all efforts are performing.

Maropost aims to highly reduce the time, money, and resources spent on such integrations.
Integrations
With Maropost, no integrations are required as the solution is completely native and made-in-house, including their mail transfer agent, called JMTA.
Maropost’s email marketing automation platform converts your prospects into clients through the delivery of targeted messages to the right contacts at the right time. It helps connect the dots and transform an organization’s marketing activities, manage social media channels to organize drip campaigns, seek help with acquisition nurturing and conversion rate optimization, and take care of everything that concerns the efforts in the direction of acquisition, engagement, and conversion.
Case Study: Haymarket Media
One of Maropost’s long-term partners, Haymarket Media is at the receiving end of the solution’s beneficial prowess. Haymarket Media is a mass-media company that has grown internationally and operates over 50 brands of publications for various professional industries. They replaced their previous monstrous Martech stack with Maropost’s solution to be able to handle large customer data sets and mass-email sends.
The result: Haymarket Media is now able to focus on generating more content and curate a better customer experience. Their clickthrough rates (CTRs) are 5-10x higher than their standard newsletter.
