Last week Gartner published a Magic Quadrant report and positioned ExactTarget’s Pardot marketing automation a “Visionary” in CRM lead management. This is a great accomplishment that we believe reinforces our position as the solution to help business streamline sales and accelerate revenue growth with a powerful, yet easy to use cloud-based application.

We believe this openness of our solution is essential to helping marketers unlock the power of data in their CRM, analytics and content management to power more effective marketing. We also believe that as a part of ExactTarget, we are incredibly well positioned to help organizations – [...]

Last week marked Pardot’s single favorite event of 2012: Elevate.

One week out of the year, we have the invaluable opportunity to meet many of our wonderful clients as hundreds of Pardot users flood into Atlanta for our annual Pardot user conference. We get to put faces to the names with which we interact year round, hear Pardot success stories and address Pardot concerns, and most importantly, kick back and have fun with the people who make us love our jobs.

Calling the new landing page builder an upgrade would be an understatement.

We’ve spent over a year building a completely re-engineered experience for building landing pages. Whether you’re building off of your own layout templates or with our new WYSIWYG builder, the experience will blow you away.

Our focus was to take the complexity and confusion out of the process, so composing both types of landing pages is a completely visual experience –  what you see is what you get! We’re also introducing template regions for layout templates, so having editable Title, Content, Image Block and Link sections will all be a [...]

“Every @Pardot employee I pass has a big smile on their face! So great to see!” one client tweeted at Elevate 2011, last year’s Pardot Users Conference.

If you happened to catch Sunday’s edition of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, you know why. The results of the AJC’s annual “Top 100 Workplaces” contest were released yesterday, and Pardot claimed the number one spot in the small business division its first year in the running. At last Thursday’s Top 100 banquet, Pardot also took home the award for “Best Work-Life Balance” over all Top 100 companies.

So what’s an average day like at the number [...]

Maybe not, according to a recent Pardot survey on the usage of marketing metrics, which found that 37% of B2B companies are still not measuring marketing’s contribution to overall revenue. When Pardot released the survey results last week, this surprising statistic was enough to capture the attention of several news sources.

Stay tuned for an infographic compiling the key findings of our marketing metrics survey, and in the meantime, check out this great coverage from DemandGen Report, TechJournal and Business News Daily:

Elevate 2011 hadn’t even ended yet – headbands and t-shirts were still up for grabs on the tables – and we were already getting asked about Elevate 2012. When is it going to be? Where is it going to be? Well, we rested for a few days and got right to work on planning an even bigger and better conference. Based on all of the great feedback from the previous event, we’re confident this next user conference will be everything you’ve been dreaming about.

So, on that note, we’re pleased to announce that Elevate, Pardot’s annual user conference, will return to [...]
