Oakworth Case Snippet - RevOps Case Study

Background

A community bank, boasting over $1 billion in assets, needed to modernize its marketing-to-sales approach to foster a strategy-focused, lead-nurturing culture within its team. The bank was hindered by its existing marketing system, which offered limited campaign visibility and tracking capabilities, confining them to limited data and reporting metrics. The goal was clear: to implement a comprehensive marketing automation solution through Hubspot that would streamline workflows, bolster operational efficiency, and enrich customer engagement and conversions through deeper behavioral insights.

The Challenge

The digital transformation specialists at FitzMartin were brought on board to help the bank transition to a more sophisticated and insightful marketing automation solution, with specific concentration on optimizing their email marketing strategies.

Key Actions

The FitzMartin team identified the critical path and took these key actions:

• Comprehensive Marketing Automation Platform Onboarding: 

  Introduction of the Hubspot marketing automation platform, equipped with advanced CRM functionalities, designed to refine the bank’s email marketing, landing pages and template designs.

• Email Strategy Revamp: 

  Rigorous email database cleaning and verification to improve overall campaign quality and customer interaction. Creation of responsive email landing pages and templates that resonate with the bank's brand ethos.

• Shift from Previous Email Service Provider: The bank transitioned away from its previous provider due to its inadequacies in delivering detailed campaign analytics and tracking.

The Outcome & Benefits

The bank now stands on the threshold of a revolution in its marketing efficiency, lead generation and customer conversion rates, backed by an intelligent automation system and richer customer data analytics all through Hubspot.

1. Embracing Digital Transformation: The digital transformation initiative was so successful that it became an annual goal for the bank, signifying a profound organizational shift toward technological adaptation
