Marketing Operations: BrightEdge vs Hadrian
DIRECT ANSWER
Marketing operations (MOps) is the function responsible for the technology, data, processes, and measurement systems that enable marketing to run at scale. MOps teams manage marketing automation platforms, CRM integrations, attribution models, budget tracking, and campaign operations—freeing marketers to focus on strategy and creative rather than plumbing.

What marketing operations means in practice
