Marketing Automation
Marketing automation is the use of software to run repeatable marketing tasks, nurture emails, lead scoring, follow-ups, without manual intervention at every step. Trellist builds these workflows for marketing operations teams who know manual processes are costing them speed and consistency.
What we do
Nurture & Drip Campaign Build
Automated sequences that move leads through the funnel based on behavior and stage, not a one-size-fits-all send schedule.
Platforms we work in
HubSpot
Adobe Marketo Engage
Salesforce Marketing Cloud
Salesforce Account Engagement
Lead Scoring
Automated qualification based on fit and behavior, so sales spends time on leads worth the call.
See the case studyTrigger-Based Workflows
Automation that responds to real-time behavior — a form fill, a pricing page visit — instead of running on a fixed schedule.
See the case studyCross-Platform Automation
Connecting your CRM, marketing platform, and other tools so automation runs consistently across the whole funnel.
Tools we work with
Salesforce for CRM sync
n8n for workflows between marketing and sales tools
Zapier for quick connections across apps
Testing & Optimization
Refining automation based on real performance data, not a set-it-and-forget-it build.

We start by mapping the manual processes worth automating. From there we design the logic and triggers for each workflow, implement inside your existing marketing platform, and optimize based on performance data.
Signs you need this
- Nurture emails go out manually, or not at all, because nobody has time to build the sequence.
- Lead follow-up timing is inconsistent depending on who's handling it that week.
- The same manual task gets repeated every campaign cycle instead of being automated once.
- Your team wants to automate but isn't sure where to start first.
What you’ll gain
- Consistent lead follow-up regardless of who's on the team that week.
- Marketing hours redirected from repetitive tasks to strategic work.
- Faster response times to real-time buyer behavior.
- A system that scales with lead volume instead of requiring more manual effort as you grow.
How it compares
Trellist builds automation that reflects your actual sales and marketing process, informed by RevOps discipline. That's different from using a platform's default templates, which rarely match how your specific funnel works, and different from ad hoc automation built incrementally by different people over time without a coherent overall design.
Why It Matters
Industry research consistently ties marketing automation to strong measurable returns — companies that automate lead nurturing generate roughly 50% more sales-ready leads at meaningfully lower cost, with average returns cited around $5.44 for every $1 invested.

FAQ
Which marketing automation platforms do you work in?
HubSpot and Marketo most often, but the discipline transfers to whatever platform you're on.
How do we know what to automate first?
We prioritize based on where manual effort is highest and the process is most repeatable — usually lead nurture and internal handoffs.
Will automation make our marketing feel impersonal?
Not if it's built well — good automation uses behavior and context to feel more relevant, not less, than a generic manual send.
How much of our current process needs to change to start automating?
Often less than expected — we typically automate the highest-friction steps first rather than requiring a full process overhaul upfront.
