The problem

Marketing in midsize companies often looks like this: one LinkedIn post a week, maybe a newsletter per quarter, the blog last touched in 2022.

Not because nobody cares — but between idea, writing, images, approvals, publishing, and tracking lie five tools, three people, and two weeks.

What's left: a rhythm that doesn't hold. And content nobody finds.

Build the pipeline once — and marketing keeps running even when you don't have energy left for it.

Marketing teams juggle daily between content creation, social media posts, email campaigns, and performance analysis. Without centralized marketing automation software, data silos emerge: the editorial calendar lives in a spreadsheet, social media posts are manually entered on each platform, email campaigns run in isolation in a separate email automation tool, and performance data must be painstakingly gathered from various dashboards. A proper content planning tool is often missing entirely — content is created ad hoc without strategic planning. This wastes valuable time and leads to inconsistent brand communication and missed publication deadlines.

Our Solution

A fully automated marketing workflow connects content creation, multi-channel distribution, and performance tracking in one system. GPT-4 creates content drafts for blog, social media, and email based on the editorial calendar. After team review and approval, n8n automatically distributes content across all channels: HubSpot for email campaigns, Buffer for social media, and the CMS for blog articles. Google Analytics tracks the performance of every content piece. At the end of each campaign, the system automatically generates a comprehensive performance report with KPIs, comparisons, and optimization suggestions — delivered directly to Slack.

What comes out of it

Possible setup, not a packaged product

The figures shown are target values and expected magnitudes for a possible setup – based on industry benchmarks, public studies of comparable setups, and our own tests on a real stack. They are not measured outcomes from a specific customer project; actual results depend on company size, process maturity, and integration depth. We do not offer this setup as a packaged product. We help teams design, automate, and run such processes themselves – through architecture consulting, workshops, and implementation support with n8n. For regulated third-party systems with certification or license requirements (e.g. HIS, gematik, DATEV-certified), we partner with specialized providers.
