QUESTION 24
A large global company hires a media agency to run their paid social campaigns. They use a standardized UTM structure to track paid activities, which will allow them to differentiate paid efforts versus organic efforts. For example, UTM-source=paid social, UTM-medium=facebook, UTM-campaign:=B2B-social, UTM-content=Definitive-guide-to-paid-social. Cost will be added to the Adobe Marketo Engage programs on a monthly basis. The same assets will be used across campaigns and social platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Linkedln).
Which Marketo Engage program structure will allow the company to determine paid social effectiveness and ROI?

UNICORN FINTECH COMPANY PROFILE
Unicorn Fintech is a mobile-only financial-servicesstartup created by a consortium of consumer banks to resell savings, checking, loan, transfer/remittance, and other services from a secure smartphone app. The company is venture-funded, and plans to reach profitability before a planned IPO in two years.
Business issues and requirements
Marketing is responsible for acquiring new customers 0 through online, television advertising, and email campaigns, and for cross-selling new services to customers through IM, email, and in-app campaigns.
Evaluating the success of these campaigns has been a persistent problem: although the company can track revenue by product line, it can’t attribute those revenues to campaigns: for example, did a new loan come from onboarding a new customer, or by cross-selling a savings-account customer? Marketing currently uses crude, manual tools and guesswork to evaluate the quality and lifespan of new leads, and even the deliverability of emails in its external campaigns. As a result, the department can’t allocate spending to the most productive campaigns, or decide how much different touchpoints in multi-stage campaigns contribute to revenue. Operational processes to connect lead data to CRM and other databases are entirely manual.
Staffing and leadership
Unicorn has fewer than 200 employees, and roles aren’t always defined in traditional ways. Since customer acquisition and cross-selling are primarily through electronic channels, Marketing and IT roles especially often overlap. The traditional Sales role falls entirely to Marketing, and IT is responsible for the Salesforce CRM system, Google Analytics, and a handful of third-party integrations. The CMO and CIO work closely together on most initiatives, and budgets are typically project-driven rather than fixed annually. Individual contributors to Marketing campaigns include the Marketing Operations Manager, responsible for lead scoring and analytics. Key IT contacts include the CRM Administrator and WebDeveloper. Incidental contributors are the Corporate Attorney, who signs off on opt-in/out and DMARC policies.
Revenue sources
Unicorn earns commissions on financial services delivered by the banking consortium through its apps, including fixed finders’ fees for what the company calls “skips”-customers who initially engage with Unicorn, but then “skip” to receive services directly from a consortium bank. Unicorn needs to attribute revenue from these customers to its own campaigns; currently, it’s impossible to attribute ROI to individual campaigns, or provide documentation to claim commissions on “skips.” Current and aspirational marketing technology Current Marketing technology consists of Marketable,an open-source lead management solution supported by a set of spreadsheets and scripts developed in-house. Marketable offers lead tracking and source attribution, but not multi-touch source attribution. Unicorn Fintech Marketing has difficulty linking the different stages of customer campaign journeys, and relies on scripts to translate Marketable’s “sales alerts” into next steps it could use in multi-touch campaigns. IT has worked out scripts to input Marketable qualified leads into Salesforce, but the system is brittle and often requires manual intervention.
Current campaign management processes
A typical email campaign:
* Addresses a purchased (for customer acquisition) or0 in-house (for cross-sell) list. Purchased lists range from
300,000 to 1.5 million addresses
* Is sent from multiple data centers in the US and Canada
* Includes an “unsubscribe” opt-out below the message
* Is static; there are no formula fields
* Uses no deliverability authentication, nor integration 0 with any email management platform.
All campaigns to date direct respondents to a single 0 landing page with the company’s “all markets” message.
More sophisticated targeting is a high priority.
Current lead management and attribution
Unicorn’s lead-management process follows
Marketable’s “out of the box” defaults: lead evaluation levels 1 through 3, lifecycle stages “unqualified” and
“qualified.” The qualification processes are manual, and highly subjective: Marketing staff classify leads according to prospect email responses, including free-form comments. “Sales” followup is by email forms prompting higher levels of engagement. The company intends to phase out Marketable and replace spreadsheets and scripts with native features of whatever solution set it adopts.
Attribution processes are binary: response to a campaign email or web visit is rated a success if it results in a sale: there is no success rating assigned to TV ads that result in web visits, for example. Cost are not allocated to individual campaigns.
The Marketing department plans to expand outreach to social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, in-house and third-party financial blogs), and wants to make sure it can assess the ROI of these channels, and the overall social media program.
Current governance processes
Currently, the Marketing department assigns content development and campaign management duties to team members on a campaign-by-campaign basis. All team members (and IT) have access to all assets and tools, which sometimes leads to duplication and conflicts. The CMO realizes that a more specialization will be necessary to support the social media campaigns, but hasn’t decided on the optimal organizational model.
Input of qualified leads from Marketable into
Salesforce is by manual cut-and-paste, assisted by scripts; inconsistency of input practices across Marketing team members is a known problem; individual members have their own “go-to” fields: where one member might check “TV ad” as Lead Source, another would put that in the comments field.
CMO
The CMO’s most important concerns are:
* The current solution has too many manual steps to scale with anticipated growth
* Without more sophisticated attribution, the company will overinvest in less productive campaigns, and underinvest in better ones
* In general, analytics integrations are manual, slow, and unreliable
* The current system completely misses “skips”-customers switching from the Unicorn app to consortium banks-an important source of revenue
* Documenting the value of Unicorn’s Marketing processes is essential to the success of the planned IPO, and millions of dollars in stock valuation hangs in the balance.
CIO
The CIO is concerned primarily with:
* The amount of time his team spends patching up Marketing campaigns and CRM data transfers, at the expense of other, critical initiatives
* Quality and reliability of the Analytics information his team provides to Marketing MARKETING STAFF Marketing Operations staff concerns:
* Campaigns require so much work that they can’t run as many of them as they need to
* Multi-touch cross-selling campaigns (for example, savings accounts to loans) with excellent margins, but no way to know which campaign touches perform best
* Getting swamped with manual record-keeping; for example, spreadsheet mistakes take hours to find and fix
* Poor integration with third-party tools for preparing, sending, and evaluating campaign materials, for Example.
o Webhook not firing,
o Reaching API limit
o Synchronization errors with third-party tools and Salesforce
* Inadequate number of lead stages and qualification levels, making it difficult to evaluate lead value, especially in multi-touch campaigns Despite the absence of an external Sales team, Marketing Operations would like to improve the granularity of their lead tracking, including both lifecycle stages and quality levels, with “no score” and negative levels.
Unicorn Fintech plays a key role in a subset of applications for loans that happen at Consortium Banks. The Unicorn Marketing Operations team has the ability to integrate with these banks to pull this application data into Adobe Marketo Engage so they can automate their involvement in this process. They have discussed this data integration with their legal team, and it has been approved. Based on this, Unicorn decides to proceed with this integration and wants to pull all available data in because other Marketo Engage campaigns can be run in the future to this audience. Part of the initial requirements of this process include Unicorn emailing the customer if they reach a certain stage in the application process. Only certain customers will be added to this stage, so only those customers can be contacted by Unicorn as part of this initial process.
How should this information be stored in Marketo Engage?

QUESTION 26
An Administrator wants to pull lifecycle data into a Revenue Explorer program membership analysis without an active revenue cycle model. The company wants to be able to see which programs are fueling the lifecycle.
Which two items must be in place to see that data in one view? (Choose two.)

QUESTION 27
An Adobe Marketo Engage Architect is working for Too Big to Fail Co., an enterprise company that has an
8-year-old Marketo Engage instance (A). Too Big to Fail Co. recently purchased start up Treat Snack LTD, which has 100 employees and its own Marketo Engage instance (B). The Architect needs to merge the two instances and maintain business continuity. No additional budget, funding, or resources are available for the merger and migration.
The Architect needs to determine the most important actions to take for the minimum viable solution to meet the business needs. The two instances need to be merged in 3 months.
Which actions should the Architect take?

QUESTION 28
The VP of Marketing is concerned about the workload of the marketing team and wants to hire an agency to assist the team by building campaigns and programs within their Adobe Marketo Engage instance. The biggest concern is adding users who may be able to access and accidentally break established templates, nurture campaigns, and scoring. Therefore, the users will only be able to work in the Marketing Activities area.
The agency will have access to building programs, campaigns, emails, and landing pages.
What is the best set of user role permissions for the agency users?

Unicorn Fintech launches a new paid subscription app where users can sign up to read financial advice. Access to Unicorn Fintech’s new app is renewed each year, and the App User Expiry Date is a date field that is updated hourly from CRM to Adobe Marketo Engage. Another string type field called App User Status changes to a status of “Current” in Marketo Engage when the App User’s access becomes valid, and changes to
“Lapsed” if the App User fails to renew.
The Marketing team wants to add App Users who have not yet renewed to an Engagement Program to nurture them 2 months prior to their App User Expiry Date, and then remove the App User from the nurture if they renew.
Which smart campaign setup is the most efficient to manage adding the App User to the nurture?

QUESTION 30
An Adobe Marketo Engage Architect notices that the smart campaigns run slowly. The Campaign Queue in Marketing Activities is full of backlog campaigns. The alerts fire with a delay. All alert smart campaignsare triggered based on the first step of Change Data Value. All Batch campaigns use the Advanced Wait Properties at the first step to run the campaign every Monday at 8:00 PM PT.
Which steps should the Architect perform to scale the campaign execution?

Multiple Unicorn teams are manually placing Sources in multiple areas. A small set of IT members decides to use an API that triggers when the Source field is not one of a list of 9 values, or is empty. When this is the case, the API is called via webhook to confirm if there is information in the Comments, Status, or custom field
‘Sales update1 and then replaces the Source with what is found in those fields, in the above order of importance.
These IT team members are ready to switch on the solution after testing successfully in a staging area, but request feedback from the Marketing team and the Adobe Marketo Engage solution architect.
The larger IT team and Marketing stakeholders are alerted to a wider review to determine if it matches the current needs across each team.
Which steps should be taken first?

QUESTION 32
An organization wants to improve its Lead routing to its team across regions. Instead of using their default workspace and partition for region/country specific marketing on top of global operations, they currently have four ‘regions’ that cover six countries, each with their own Lead partition and Workspaces:
* EMEA: UK and Belgium
* ANZ: Australia and New Zealand
* NAM: USA
* ASIA: Japan
Singapore will be added as an additional country within 6 months.
As the organization moves away from the highly manual process of assigning leads as ‘ready’, the goal is to use their new Lead scoring to state that leads that are above 60 in Score are marked as MQL, and are synced to the right country team queue in their CRM. The CRM will then use automated workflows to take leads from the queues and decide which leads are assigned to which representative for that country.
Which efficient measures should betaken to make sure Leads from the right countries are synced to the correct queues in the CRM?

Unicorn reaches its Salesforce API limit daily, which causes a backlog of issues in each system. The workflow of the employees who have to use them is also heavily affected by this issue. It takes hours to days for the correct data to come into Adobe Marketo Engage and Salesforce but it’s important for newleads to be synced after creation as soon as possible. The IT team has reviewed which applications are using the API and suspect Marketo Engage is the culprit.
Before raising their API limit, which two tasks should an Architect perform to resolve

QUESTION 35
An Adobe Marketo Engage Architect needs to build a subscription center that contains an option to “pause notifications for 30 days” to dissuade people from unsubscribing. If a person fills out the form and selects this feature, Marketing wants to Marketing Suspend them for 30 days and subtract five points from the lead.
Existing records whose notifications are currently paused should be excluded from the flow to avoid double processing.
Which order of steps is required to build this program?

QUESTION 36
An Adobe Marketo Engage Architect joins a company and needs to audit a prospect engagement scoring model. The previous administrator did not properly set up or maintain the model. The Marketing and Sales teams identify all engagement elements they want the new revamped model to score on. The administrator needs to make improvements.
According to best practices, what are the three important elements for the Architect to consider when updating the scoring model? (Choose three.)

QUESTION 37
An Adobe Marketo Engage Architect needs to audit an existing Marketo Engage instance. Upon inspection, more than 1000 fields that only live in Marketo Engage were created for a single use to collect information for a specific event, or ask a specific question during the registration of an event.
What should the Architect recommend to their client regarding field creation best practices?

QUESTION 38
A marketer is in charge of marketing campaigns for a company that creates customized vinyl figurines. The marketer is launching a multi-channel campaign that will include nurture, webinars, paid social ads, virtual events, and more. The marketer creates a nurture email program that consists of a series of six emails to be sent once a week and wants to understand the impact. The target audience will be put through many campaigns.
When reporting on effectiveness or ineffectiveness of an email nurture, which two valid metrics should the marketer utilize to decide what to do next? (Choose two.)

QUESTION 39

UNICORN FINTECH COMPANY PROFILE
Unicorn Fintech is a mobile-only financial-servicesstartup created by a consortium of consumer banks to resell savings, checking, loan, transfer/remittance, and other services from a secure smartphone app. The company is venture-funded, and plans to reach profitability before a planned IPO in two years.
Business issues and requirements
Marketing is responsible for acquiring new customers 0 through online, television advertising, and email campaigns, and for cross-selling new services to customers through IM, email, and in-app campaigns.
Evaluating the success of these campaigns has been a persistent problem: although the company can track revenue by product line, it can’t attribute those revenues to campaigns: for example, did a new loan come from onboarding a new customer, or by cross-selling a savings-account customer? Marketing currently uses crude, manual tools and guesswork to evaluate the quality and lifespan of new leads, and even the deliverability of emails in its external campaigns. As a result, the department can’t allocate spending to the most productive campaigns, or decide how much different touchpoints in multi-stage campaigns contribute to revenue. Operational processes to connect lead data to CRM and other databases are entirely manual.
Staffing and leadership
Unicorn has fewer than 200 employees, and roles aren’t always defined in traditional ways. Since customer acquisition and cross-selling are primarily through electronic channels, Marketing and IT roles especially often overlap. The traditional Sales role falls entirely to Marketing, and IT is responsible for the Salesforce CRM system, Google Analytics, and a handful of third-party integrations. The CMO and CIO work closely together on most initiatives, and budgets are typically project-driven rather than fixed annually. Individual contributors to Marketing campaigns include the Marketing Operations Manager, responsible for lead scoring and analytics. Key IT contacts include the CRM Administrator and Web Developer. Incidental contributors are the Corporate Attorney, who signs off on opt-in/out and DMARC policies.
Revenue sources
Unicorn earns commissions on financial services delivered by the banking consortium through its apps, including fixed finders’ fees for what the company calls “skips”-customers who initially engage with Unicorn, but then “skip” to receive services directly from a consortium bank. Unicorn needs to attribute revenue from these customers to its own campaigns; currently, it’s impossible to attribute ROI to individual campaigns, or provide documentation to claim commissions on “skips.” Current and aspirational marketing technology Current Marketing technology consists of Marketable,an open-source lead management solution supported by a set of spreadsheets and scripts developed in-house. Marketable offers lead tracking and source attribution, but not multi-touch source attribution. Unicorn Fintech Marketing has difficulty linking the different stages of customer campaign journeys, and relies on scripts to translate Marketable’s “sales alerts” into next steps it could use in multi-touch campaigns. IT has worked out scripts to input Marketable qualified leads into Salesforce, but the system is brittle and often requires manual intervention.
Current campaign management processes
A typical email campaign:
* Addresses a purchased (for customer acquisition) or0 in-house (for cross-sell) list. Purchased lists range from
300,000 to 1.5 million addresses
* Is sent from multiple data centers in the US and Canada
* Includes an “unsubscribe” opt-out below the message
* Is static; there are no formula fields
* Uses no deliverability authentication, nor integration 0 with any email management platform.
All campaigns to date direct respondents to a single 0 landing page with the company’s “all markets” message.
More sophisticated targeting is a high priority.
Current lead management and attribution
Unicorn’s lead-management process follows
Marketable’s “out of the box” defaults: lead evaluation levels 1 through 3, lifecycle stages “unqualified” and
“qualified.” The qualification processes are manual, and highly subjective: Marketing staff classify leads according to prospect email responses, including free-form comments. “Sales” followup is by email forms prompting higher levels of engagement. The company intends to phase out Marketable and replace spreadsheets and scripts with native features of whatever solution set it adopts.
Attribution processes are binary: response to a campaign email or web visit is rated a success if it results in a sale: there is no success rating assigned to TV ads that result in web visits, for example. Cost are not allocated to individual campaigns.
The Marketing department plans to expand outreach to social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, in-house and third-party financial blogs), and wants to make sure it can assess the ROI of these channels, and the overall social media program.
Current governance processes
Currently, the Marketing department assigns content development and campaign management duties to team members on a campaign-by-campaign basis. All team members (and IT) have access to all assets and tools, which sometimes leads to duplication and conflicts. The CMO realizes that a more specialization will be necessary to support the social media campaigns, but hasn’t decided on the optimal organizational model.
Input of qualified leads from Marketable into
Salesforce is by manual cut-and-paste, assisted by scripts; inconsistency of input practices across Marketing team members is a known problem; individual members have their own “go-to” fields: where one member might check “TV ad” as Lead Source, another would put that in the comments field.
CMO
The CMO’s most important concerns are:
* The current solution has too many manual steps to scale with anticipated growth
* Without more sophisticated attribution, the company will overinvest in less productive campaigns, and underinvest in better ones
* In general, analytics integrations are manual, slow, and unreliable
* The current system completely misses “skips”-customers switching from the Unicorn app to consortium banks-an important source of revenue
* Documenting the value of Unicorn’s Marketing processes is essential to the success of the planned IPO, and millions of dollars in stock valuation hangs in the balance.
CIO
The CIO is concerned primarily with:
* The amount of time his team spends patching up Marketing campaigns and CRM data transfers, at the expense of other, critical initiatives
* Quality and reliability of the Analytics information his team provides to Marketing MARKETING STAFF Marketing Operations staff concerns:
* Campaigns require so much work that they can’t run as many of them as they need to
* Multi-touch cross-selling campaigns (for example, savings accounts to loans) with excellent margins, but no way to know which campaign touches perform best
* Getting swamped with manual record-keeping; for example, spreadsheet mistakes take hours to find and fix
* Poor integration with third-party tools for preparing, sending, and evaluating campaign materials, for Example.
o Webhook not firing,
o Reaching API limit
o Synchronization errors with third-party tools and Salesforce
* Inadequate number of lead stages and qualification levels, making it difficult to evaluate lead value, especially in multi-touch campaigns Despite the absence of an external Sales team, Marketing Operations would like to improve the granularity of their lead tracking, including both lifecycle stages and quality levels, with “no score” and negative levels.
The social media team at Unicorn Fintech has been running paid search, paid social, and retargeting ads for the past year. Each of these is an Adobe Marketo Engage program channel and is set up to capture program member success and cost. The newly formed Account Based Marketing team (ABM) also wants to run paid social and retargeting ads but has their own budget. They want to report on their ABM efforts and ROI of their specific programs separate from the social media team. The social media team wants to be able to see how all campaigns are performing as well as easily separate the ABM efforts.
How should the Marketo Engage Architect set up the program structure to achieve these reporting goals?

QUESTION 40
The marketing team at a multinational company needs to better understand their marketing effectiveness. The team is planning for the next fiscal year and must decide how to allocate budget to the various marketing channels. Spending must be cut by $1,000,000. The team needs to decide what they are not going to do next year. By using program analyzer, extracting the information, and populating an Excel sheet, the team is able to analyze the following data.

Based on the data from this year’s marketing metrics, which conclusion can be made to help make decisions for next year?

QUESTION 41
An Adobe Marketo Engage Architect at Cookieless Monsters Inc. is creating a report on Revenue Explorer to track Marketing Influence on Opportunity Closed-Won by First-Touch (FT) and Multi-Touch (MT) attribution models of Marketo Engage.
Which two factors should the Architect consider while setting up FT and MT attribution reports on Revenue Explorer? (Choose two.)
