Opal x Forrester
Get the scoop on Forrester’s latest marketing alignment research
Operational Alignment Fuels Content Marketing
Marketing alignment is at the core of what Opal provides, a platform helping organizations drive alignment. We are so passionate about this subject that we commissioned a research project with Forrester to understand what marketing alignment looks like in large marketing organizations today. With this collaboration, we not only received a snapshot of this research study’s findings but also hosted a live webinar to go over the research. Both of these are available for you to consume!
