Marc Babel, Digital Marketing Manager, Corporate Travel Management – Ignite Marketer of the Week

June 28, 2021 By John Lincoln

Ignite Marketer of the Week: Marc Babel

In this edition of Marketer of the Week, Ignite Visibility spotlights Marc Babel, Digital Marketing Manager at Corporate Travel Management (CTM).

Ignite Visibility is proud to recognize him for his extensive contributions and achievements in B2B digital marketing.

Marc Babel

A fearless and hands-on leader, Babel lives and breathes marketing.

Not only was it his major at Colorado State University, but he decided to pursue an M.B.A. in the same discipline at the University of Colorado in 2016, paving the way for a successful marketing career in the travel and technology space.

In his LinkedIn profile, he describes himself as a “Marketo champion for all North American marketing activities.” According to his fellow colleagues at CTM, he’s much more than that.

Around the time Babel was hired at CTM in September 2020, the organization was not only undertaking its most significant acquisition, but the marketing team was in the middle of implementing Marketo worldwide and consolidating to one CRM.  This may have been a perfect storm of disruption; however, it didn’t dissuade Babel from confronting these challenges head-on.

As a travel management company that was already struggling to cope with the difficulties that came with the COVID-19 pandemic, Babel focused his efforts on ensuring that content, communications, and the CTM brand did not fade into the background. He led the charge during this tough time to create COVID-19 pandemic-related content with the purpose of keeping followers engaged and informed.

Amid the chaos, he never failed in getting CTM’s message out there—keeping clients updated on changes while instilling confidence in the travel industry again.  Anytime he received feedback from executive leadership, he would turn it into actionable and tangible marketing resources to support CTM’s lead generation and client retention strategies.

“There is no blueprint as to how to weather a pandemic in the travel industry. Each day my tasks are different, and we are required to change communication efforts as we flow through what a new world of travel looks like. Though it can be challenging, it’s exhilarating to be part of something that can make a difference in how our world recovers,” says Babel.

In his current role at CTM, Babel is responsible for creating highly targeted content via organic and paid channels including search engine, display, gated content, social media advertising, and email marketing. He is also tasked with maintaining and growing an effective customer pipeline and generating travel bookings through digital marketing channels.

Utilizing Marketo for the design and delivery of highly targeted automated and non-automated digital marketing campaigns, Babel is always looking for new ways to refine and optimize performance, efficiency, and ROI.

Prior to joining CTM, Babel served as a content marketing specialist for ReportsNow Inc. for 2 years, where he oversaw all intellectual property and content marketing initiatives. He was also a marketing consultant at CBIZ MHM, LLC, and a marketing coordinator at the University of Colorado and Lynx Global Intelligence.

Babel’s marketing experience doesn’t stop there. He’s amassed several licenses and certifications over the years to keep his skills sharp and up-to-date, including:

  • HTML Essential Training from LinkedIn
  • Analytics Individual Qualification Certification from Google
  • Ethical Leadership Certification from the NASBA Center for the Public Trust
  • Certified Associate of Project Management (CAPM) from the Project Management Institute
  • Marketo Certification from Adobe Marketo
  • TestOut Network Pro from the TestOut Corporation

Marc Babel's Hard Work at Corporate Travel Management (CTM)

Corporate Travel Management

Based in Omaha, Nebraska, CTM is an award-winning global provider of business travel management services. They pride themselves on understanding the complex travel needs of large enterprises, across industries and regions.

With many companies not having full visibility and control over their travel budgets, CTM’s account management teams work to customize the most effective travel policies based on each client’s unique behaviors and objectives.

CTM account managers take the time to extract, analyze, and then present accurate pricing and planning to ensure your company is getting the most value out of your travel budget.

Additionally, CTM is very cautious of COVID-19, especially being in the travel sector. They go above and beyond to ensure all customers have the information they need regarding current health and safety measures that may affect travel programs by updating the site daily.

By offering a unique blend of customer service, innovative technology, reliable employees, and tailored program development, CTM is unlike any other travel management company on the market.

Wrapping it Up

In marketing, things are ever-changing and one-size-fits-all strategies won’t cut it. That’s why Babel’s out-of-the-box approaches have propelled him to where he is today.

No matter what circumstances have been thrown at him, he persevered and always found a way to bring his ideas to life and make content digestible on a digital level.

Babel notes “The best part of my job is the exploration process. I love working with leaders who have a vision for success. We roll up our sleeves and get creative in our digital tactics so that we are standing out within an incredibly competitive market.”

It’s clear that CTM is in good hands with Babel on their side and I look forward to seeing how he influences the next generation of digital marketers.
