The document discusses how a unified digital engagement strategy can increase revenue. It outlines how capabilities like integrated channels, demand generation, user experience, analytics and a customer view drive engagement. A maturity model is presented showing how companies can advance from basic to advanced digital marketing. It is argued that while technology is important, a strategy is needed to make the most of it through content, lead scoring and automated journeys. The Ektron Digital Experience Hub is presented as a way to pre-integrate systems and accelerate engagement capabilities.

Incomplete lead profiles
drive incorrect engagement

that is out of context
Uncoordinated platforms deliver

only provides part of the solution for the digital marketer
