What is marketing operations?
Marketing operations (MOps) is a term that’s relatively new to Australia and New Zealand. It describes a hybrid role that sits between traditional marketing and IT. In short, market ops is in charge of the technology and processes required by a modern, data-driven marketing department that works with a large multi-faceted customer base; it’s the engine that drives marketing results in medium-to-large businesses.
Marketing ops is the intersection between the marketing team and the IT/data team. It provides the development expertise required to drive complex technology and the specialised skill set required to support CX-driven personalised marketing campaigns.
