You only get redirected to this page when you have no previous cookies, in which case you're likely either a new user (that should see a beautiful landing page) or using incognito or cleared your cookies. There's unfortunately not really a way to differentiate the two. If you signed in before and then logged out again, or if you're previous login expired, you will see the old login form.

Nope like I mentioned it does this even when I am logged in, so no chance of cookie clearing. However I tried it again just to be sure, no luck. Two tabs opened, the second one a few seconds after logging into the first one, still lands me on marketing page.

This is incorrect. If you go to http://www.google.com/analytics/, even having just logged out from analytics with cookies present, you get the splashscreen. (Unless they're A/B testing it and you're seeing something different from me.)
Ok, I don't know anything about analytics. What I said is true for mail.google.com / gmail.com.
