The never-ending argument of quality leads vis-à-vis the non-quality leads amid the growing trend of Marketing Automation has already begun. While the debate about quality and non-quality is just an incidental one, the larger picture needs to be visualized & conceptualized for a better and thorough understanding. The advent of Digital Marketing made the entire marketing community presume that the medium would provide them a seamless flow of communications with consumers resulting in the overall growth of business. While in reality that was simply not the case to be, the marketers did achieve a fair amount of success with respect to their attribution of Digital Marketing, its potential and their belief in the medium to deliver. The medium did deliver to an extent but over the period and lack of time the methods and processes slowly started disappearing and was almost on the verge of corroding out.

As history itself is the right testimony, when one process is on the verge of collapsing, another slowly emerges. When one invention is not meeting the needs, another improvised version that possesses additional features with better impact emerges upon. Thus, another improvised version called ‘Marketing Automation’, which selectively and holistically targets and delivers leads emerged for now.
