The client

MarketingOps.com.

MarketingOps.com is a 6,500+ member professional community for marketing operations professionals, offering networking, education, and career resources through events like MOps-Apalooza, the Ops Cast podcast, and peer matching programs.

The challenge

Where it broke.

MarketingOps.com needed to scale their member networking program beyond what existing tools could handle. Manual matchmaking couldn't work for 6,500+ members, and high-volume email sends risked domain reputation damage.

  • Community scale6,500+ members needed systematic matching. Manual approaches couldn't deliver the quality connections members expected.
  • Complex matching rules3-program rotation, 90-day no-rematch enforcement, and preference-based pairing required purpose-built automation.
  • Email deliverability riskHigh-volume email sends risked spam flags and delivery failures. Domain reputation protection critical.
  • Meeting intelligence trappedExtensive Fathom transcript library going unused. Proposals and commitments lost in hours of recordings.
