"This was a major goal for 2014, and we as a company have not only achieved that goal, but set a new precedent for quality and growth that I'm sure we'll only see mature further throughout 2015." Of the latest clients to adopt the CampaignDrive core platform, one is a top player in the distribution of auto parts throughout the US and Canada. This is the third automotive company to choose CampaignDrive as its local marketing automation software solution, in 2014 alone. The other is a multi million dollar IPO operating in the life insurance industry. "We've been serving both industries with our software for years," says Christopher Sorge, Director of Business Development. "But it's huge that we can now meet the needs of two such diverse business models with the one platform, without customizations or even a complicated implementation process." 2015 has already started off promisingly for Pica9, with recognition from [NGDATA's list of the Top 50 Marketing Automation Tools](https://www.ngdata.com/top-marketing-automation-software-tools/) --ranking #7 overall, in the company of HubSpot and Marketo, and as the top LMA platform.
