Building a GDPR-Conscious Marketing Automation Strategy in Europe
Privacy and consent should be considered when designing marketing automation systems for European audiences.

It also explains why marketing and technical teams should understand how information moves between forms, CRM platforms, automation tools, analytics systems, and other integrations.
