Progress measures 35% increase in marketing influence on revenue

The Sojourn team is beyond doubt the best in the business. Many have been working in marketing operations and automation for years and our team was constructed so that we ALWAYS have a senior consultant working on our business and an experienced delivery manager. They are always passionate about the project and work hand-in-hand with our team – giving us that much-needed resource expansion.
