What is TCMA?
TCMA stands for Through-Channel Marketing Automation — a technology platform that enables vendors to scale marketing efforts through their channel partner ecosystem. TCMA tools give partners access to pre-built, co-brandable marketing campaigns, content, and analytics that allow them to generate local demand while the vendor maintains brand control and marketing quality.
What TCMA Includes
- Email marketing — Co-branded email campaigns with one-click partner customization
- Social media — Pre-approved social content partners share on their channels
- Digital advertising — Google/Facebook ad campaigns with partner-specific targeting
- Content marketing — Blog posts, whitepapers, and videos partners co-brand and distribute
- Landing pages — Partner-specific landing pages for lead capture
- Event marketing — Tools for promoting and managing joint webinars and events
