Marketo
recently announced record results for Q3 2011, adding more than 150 customers in the quarter and growing revenue by 122% year-over-year. In the quater, Marketo signed customers across numerous industries, including Angel MedFlight Worldwide, Delta Dental of California and Affiliates, Generations Federal Credit Union and Ventana Research.

Marketo is on track to more than double its 2010 revenue and has expanded its global staff to more than 200 so far in 2011, according to a company press release.

“We continued to see our business accelerate in Q3, and are more confident than ever that we currently have more customers, and are growing faster than any other vendor in the RPM space,” said Phil Fernandez, President and CEO of Marketo. “Marketo is making our customers wildly successful. That’s why we are laser-focused on continuing to deliver the same high levels of service, innovation and leadership that our customers and partners have grown to expect. We are extremely proud to be at the forefront of the RPM movement and we look forward accelerating growth in this challenging economy.”
