MailChimp is an email list and automation service. You can use it to collect contact form or gated content form submissions and send automated email series to continue nurturing contacts.
MailChimp should ONLY be used if the client does not have the means to purchase a Hubspot instance and has no other marketing automation software in use. PLEASE check with the client to confirm if they have a tool in use or not. Sometimes they do not tell us about their existing tools. Do not encourage clients to downgrade to MailChimp if they have a Hubspot instance already.
Please note: You will need to be added as a user to both the TSL account and any clients you'll be working on inside MailChimp.
Manager: Assign out the templated Clarizen tasks for the process outlined below by loading the Milestone template called "MailChimp Account & Automation Setup" into a related subproject (Landing Page, Strategist Support).
