Marketing automation promised to revolutionise how you engage and convert leads. But for many CMOs and Heads of Marketing, the reality is very different.
Your automation may be live—but it’s not personal, not persuasive, and not moving prospects through the buying journey. Worse, it’s often disjointed, undermined by bad data, and difficult to trust.
It’s time to stop firefighting and start fixing.
You want to scale personalised engagement, not just send out templated messages. You want to create frictionless journeys that feel tailored and persuasive—not robotic and irrelevant.
But the foundation of effective automation is data. Without clean, enriched and structured data, your automations can’t deliver. Without confidence in your systems, you can’t scale.
You need more than tools. You need transformation.
Marketing automation is deceptively complex. Here's why even well-funded, experienced teams often fail to make it work:
Your data is broken - and you're not sure why
Bad CRM data is the #1 blocker. But most teams don’t know what’s causing the data decay—whether it’s systems, processes, people, or a mix of all three.
The automations aren't connected to the buying jourrney
Many campaigns run in silos, with automations that don’t respond to real buyer behaviour. Prospects get stuck, drop off, or receive irrelevant content at the wrong time.
Fear of failure prevents scaling
Teams hesitate to ramp up automation because they don’t trust the data or fear harming active opportunities. Sales teams often resist automated marketing touchpoints altogether worried they’ll lose control of the conversation.
You don't have the expertise to fix it internally
Best practices change fast. Most teams simply don’t have the specialist knowledge needed to design, build and maintain automation systems that drive measurable growth.
At Innovation Visual, we take a deeply strategic and technical approach to fixing marketing automation. This isn’t about plugging in new tools—it’s about engineering a system that works across your people, platforms and data.
We help marketing leaders transform their automation by:
Auditing the full marketing automation ecosystem – We assess your existing workflows, campaigns and data structure—alongside the systems that generate and manage that data—to uncover hidden issues.
Diagnosing the root causes of poor performance – We don’t just patch over problems. We identify what’s actually preventing your automation from performing—whether it’s data hygiene, system limitations, or campaign misalignment.
Creating a practical, prioritised transformation plan – Our roadmap sequences fixes in achievable stages, delivering early wins while building towards a scalable, sustainable automation strategy.
Designing automation and personalisation that converts – From behavioural triggers to tailored nurture sequences, we engineer automations that actively move your ideal prospects toward purchase.
Using AI and automation to clean and enrich data – We deploy AI agents to clean, de-duplicate, validate and enrich your contact records—cost-effectively and at scale.
Aligning stakeholders across sales and marketing – We facilitate conversations and collaboration between departments so your automation efforts support—not conflict with—sales objectives.
Transferring knowledge into your team – We upskill your internal marketing and ops teams so they can evolve and expand the automation framework independently over time.
We conduct a detailed assessment of your automation flows, personalisation logic, underlying CRM and behavioural data, and the systems that shape them.
We build a sequential plan to resolve core issues, align systems, improve data, and design automations that match your ideal customer journey.
We work across your stakeholder teams to implement the plan, monitor performance, iterate based on results, and build on what works.

Start your marketing automation transformation.
Underperforming marketing automation isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a strategic liability. When bad data, poor targeting and unclear journeys compound, you don’t just waste budget—you lose potential pipeline.
But when automation works, it transforms how your business connects with buyers. It creates meaningful journeys at scale. It reduces manual effort. It turns your marketing engine into a true revenue engine.
Innovation Visual gives you the strategy, systems and support to make that transformation real—and sustainable.
Let’s get your automation back on track.
