Marketo Acquires Sales Engagement Platform ToutApp

SAN MATEO, Calif., April 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Marketo, Inc., the leading provider of engagement marketing software and solutions, today announced that it has acquired ToutApp, a leading sales engagement software company based in San Francisco. ToutApp provides sales teams with sales campaign, content management, and analytics software to engage prospective customers in a personalized way to drive revenue growth. The acquisition strengthens Marketo's position as a leader in engagement. 

"Brands that win today engage customers in a meaningful way at every step of the journey and this requires coordinated execution across the entire enterprise, particularly within sales and marketing," said Steve Lucas, chief executive officer, Marketo. "I'm thrilled to welcome TK and his team at ToutApp to Marketo, where together, we'll enable marketing and sales teams to drive revenue and demand seamlessly."

Since its inception, Marketo has focused on bringing sales and marketing together around customer engagement. ToutApp's solutions, together with Marketo's Engagement Platform, enable marketing to partner even more closely with sales to listen, learn, and engage with customers and prospects at scale across all channels and touchpoints.

"ToutApp and Marketo share a similar vision for empowering sales and marketing teams for success in the Engagement Economy," said Tawheed (TK) Kader, founder and chief executive officer, ToutApp. "We're excited to join Marketo and further our shared mission of delivering exceptional customer and prospect engagement." 

Marketo bolstered its focus on sales and marketing alignment late last year with the launch of Marketo Account-based Marketing (ABM), which brings revenue teams together to discover, manage, engage, and analyze key accounts in a highly coordinated fashion. ToutApp will further enrich the company's portfolio of solutions for aligning sales and marketing, complementing Marketo ABM and Marketo Sales Insights (MSI).

More than 100,000 salespeople and over 400 enterprise customers, including Citrix, GE, CA Technologies, Siemens, Revel, Tableau, and Concur, are already using ToutApp for sales engagement.
