Marketing Star

Run multichannel campaigns from one simple dashboard.

Marketing Star is a SaaS marketing automation platform for growing B2B and mid-market teams that need to orchestrate customer journeys across email, SMS, WhatsApp, social, landing pages, web forms, and QR codes without stitching together multiple tools. It matters because it reduces campaign setup time, lowers software complexity, and gives teams a single place to launch, personalize, and measure cross-channel marketing.

Business Goals

  • Drive 40% of new pipeline from channel-specific landing pages and product-led content within 9 months.
  • Achieve a 25% reduction in average campaign setup time compared with using multiple standalone tools, validated in customer interviews and onboarding analytics.

User Goals

  • Upload contacts once and launch coordinated campaigns across multiple channels from a single workspace.
  • Build personalized journeys quickly using templates, drag-and-drop automation, and a shared asset library.
  • See which channels and campaigns are performing before and after launch, without exporting data to spreadsheets.
  • Enrich audience records with higher-quality contact data where available to improve targeting and conversion.
  • Scale marketing activity predictably with transparent pricing and easy onboarding support.

Non-Goals

  • Full enterprise marketing suite replacement with advanced CDP, attribution modeling, and revenue forecasting.
  • Custom ad buying or media purchasing on third-party ad networks.
  • Deep CRM customization or account-based sales engagement workflows beyond campaign-triggered messaging.
  • International phone carrier management, telephony provisioning, or direct mail orchestration in v1.

Priya manages growth marketing for an online retail brand and has been juggling email, SMS, and form tools across three different vendors. Every new campaign starts with copy-pasting audience lists, checking consent in spreadsheets, and waiting too long to see whether the journey is actually working.

With Marketing Star, she uploads one list, enriches North America contacts, and builds a cart-abandonment journey using a template. She launches email first, then SMS for non-openers, and tracks everything in one dashboard with pre-launch estimates and post-send analytics.

Within two weeks, Priya reduces campaign setup time from days to under an hour and improves recovery conversions because messages are coordinated instead of fragmented. Her team spends less time managing tools and more time improving offers, while leadership gets cleaner reporting and clearer ROI.

Technical Metrics

  • Message send orchestration API p95 latency below 300 ms excluding third-party provider delays.
  • Zero critical security findings in quarterly penetration tests and dependency scans.

Tracking Plan

  • Track account_created when a workspace is created and onboarding starts.

  • Track audience_enrichment_requested and audience_enrichment_completed for Verisum usage.

  • Track message_sent, message_delivered, message_opened, message_clicked, and conversion_recorded.
  • Track onboarding_step_completed to identify drop-off points in the first-time flow.

Technical Needs

  • Frontend built with React and TypeScript for a responsive SaaS app.
  • Backend services in Node.js or NestJS with REST and event-driven orchestration.
  • PostgreSQL for core relational data, Redis for queues and caching, and object storage for assets.
  • Workflow engine for journey state and scheduled sends using a queue such as BullMQ or Temporal.
  • Analytics pipeline using event streaming into a warehouse such as BigQuery or Snowflake.
  • Role-based access control and tenant isolation at the workspace level.
  • Search/indexing for templates and assets using OpenSearch or PostgreSQL full-text search.

Integration Points

  • Verisum enrichment API for North America contact data enrichment.
  • Twilio for SMS delivery.
  • WhatsApp Business API via a provider such as Twilio or MessageBird.
  • SendGrid or Amazon SES for email delivery.
  • Google Analytics 4 or server-side conversion events for landing page measurement.

Data Storage & Privacy

  • Store consent, channel opt-in, and suppression status separately from marketing content.
  • Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit using industry-standard TLS and managed key storage.
  • Support GDPR and CCPA requests for export, deletion, and processing restrictions at the contact level.
  • Restrict Verisum enrichment to supported geographies and record source and timestamp for each enriched field.
  • Maintain an audit log for edits, publishes, access changes, and data export actions.

Scalability & Performance

  • Use asynchronous job queues for message sends, enrichment calls, and report generation.
  • Partition or tenant-scope high-volume data to keep queries responsive as workspaces grow.
  • Cache frequently accessed dashboards and templates to reduce load on analytics queries.
  • Design send orchestration to degrade gracefully if a downstream channel provider rate-limits or fails.

Potential Challenges

  • Channel compliance rules vary by region and provider, so mitigate with channel-specific validation and pre-publish checks.
  • Third-party delivery APIs may be unreliable, so use retries, circuit breakers, and provider fallback policies.
  • Data enrichment may create duplicate or stale records, so implement dedupe logic and field provenance tracking.
  • Multi-channel analytics attribution can be confusing, so define a clear event model and source-of-truth conversion rules.
  • The product could become too broad too quickly, so prioritize the highest-volume use cases and ship templates first.

Audience upload, validation, deduplication, tagging, saved segments, and suppression lists
Verisum enrichment integration mocked behind a service interface for North America contacts only
Journey templates for acquisition, loyalty, cart abandonment, renewals, and reactivation
Drag-and-drop builder with publish, pause, resume, clone, and version history
