Our approach
We start by reviewing your current campaigns, scoring, and program architecture. From there we develop templates, workflows, and scoring models, deploy and manage live campaigns, and tie campaign activity back to pipeline outcomes.
Signs you need this
- Your Marketo instance has grown organically for years with no consistent naming conventions or program architecture.
- Lead scoring hasn't been revisited since it was first set up, and nobody's confident it still reflects reality.
- Campaign builds take longer than they should because there's no reusable template library.
- You don't have a dedicated Marketo admin, and it shows.
What you’ll gain
- Campaigns that launch faster because templates and processes are actually reusable.
- Lead scoring your sales team trusts, because it's grounded in what actually predicts a close.
- Reporting tied to pipeline and revenue, not vanity engagement metrics.
- A Marketo instance that's maintained proactively, not patched reactively when something breaks.
How it compares
Trellist brings both platform depth and honest scoping — including telling you if Marketo is more platform than you need. That's different from a dedicated in-house Marketo admin, which is a hard, specialized role to hire for, and different from a generalist agency without deep Marketo certification.
Proof
We centralized campaign submission and automated workflow approvals in Adobe Marketo for a global chemical manufacturing company, reducing manual processing time and improving campaign consistency.

FAQ
Is Marketo overkill for a smaller team?
It can be — part of our job is telling you honestly if a lighter platform would serve you better, not just taking the engagement.
Do you integrate Marketo with Salesforce?
Yes, that's one of the most common configurations we support.
How do you handle lead scoring model changes as our business evolves?
We treat scoring as a living model, revisited on a regular cadence rather than set once and left alone.
Can you clean up an instance that's grown messy over several years?
Yes — program architecture and naming convention cleanups are a common, well-scoped starting engagement.
Why Trellist
We bring the platform depth Marketo demands, without the overhead of hiring a dedicated admin.
