When marketing teams build plans in isolated documents, chaos reigns. Disconnected from strategies and goals, plans drift and devolve into random acts of marketing that waste time and money.

Uptempo has been critical to our effort to transform our marketing budget management from a painful process into one that is defined and consistent, giving us the agility to quickly re-allocate investments as needed. With Uptempo’s campaign planning capabilities we can further layer in campaign performance metrics for a clear picture of return on ad spend, cost per lead and channel performance. This helps ensure that the marketing plan supports our company objectives and delivers a return on marketing spend.
When marketers work in budgets scattered across spreadsheets disconnected from systems used by finance, it’s hard to know what’s available to spend. This limits marketing agility, and erodes confidence that marketing is wisely managing critical financial resources.
