SAN MATEO, Calif., Jan. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Marketo, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MKTO), the leading provider of engagement marketing
software and solutions, is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of
its founding and along with it, a decade of helping marketers
everywhere build meaningful, long-term relationships with their

Marketo was founded in 2006 with one idea: to create a new kind
of enterprise marketing software company; one dedicated solely to
the needs and mission of today's marketing professional. Over the
last 10 years, digital, social, and mobile technologies have
changed how brands and buyers meet and engage with each other. The
result of this transformation is a new era in which the marketer
has assumed a powerful position as the steward of the customer
lifecycle.
"My co-founders and I built Marketo because we saw a world in
which marketers would lead the customer journey," said
Phil Fernandez, chairman and CEO
of Marketo. "That vision has come to life thanks to our
customers and partners, who, like us, seized the opportunity to put
Marketing First across their organizations. I look forward to the
next 10 years in which we'll continue to innovate and help
marketers reach and engage with their customers everywhere."

datasets. In just 10 years, Marketo has conquered these obstacles
better than any other player in the market, and that is why we use
Marketo around the world."
