Product Updates

Thank you to everyone who reached out! No additional volunteers are needed at this time, but if you have a topic in mind you’d like to present on in the future, send us an email! WE NEED YOUR HELP! At one point, you were a brand new Workfront Admin. And likely, you learned the hard way when you accidentally deleted a report or a custom form/field or built quick-fix processes to solve a short term problem that had to be re-done. You thought to yourself, I wish I knew some of these things when I first started... so now is your chance to pass along those lessons learned. The Workfront Scale Customer Success team will be hosting a customer panel on Tuesday, October 29 at 8am PT / 11am ET on the topic of things I wish I knew as a first time Workfront admin / things I learned too late as a new Workfront admin and we need 1-2 more customers to join, as we already have one customer secured. If you are interested in participating and sharing your experience and expertise, please reach out to the team directly at csatscale@adobe.com. From a level of effort standpoint, it will likely be 2 hours max (1 hour for the actual panel + a 30 minute prep call + back and forth emails to finalize content).  Thank you!

Over the past year, Marketo Engage has been rolling out email verification to customers. After our rollout correction earlier this year, the email verification status of the SSO Only users and any users having a shared email conflict were changed back to ‘Unverified’.   Today, Marketo has proactively triggered emails to any and all users who have an unverified email address in an effort to get these users ready for migrations to Adobe Admin Console and Adobe Identity. Users can access Marketo Engage with their Marketo ID regardless of email verification status until their subscriptions migrate. However, only users with verified email addresses can be migrated to Adobe identities.    More information about email verification can be found in the relevant Experience League Documentation.   More information about Marketo user migration can be found in the relevant Experience League Documentation.    Email Verification Resources   February Rollout of Email Verification Corrections November Marketo Nation Update Announcement  Original Marketo Nation Announcement   Email Verification Documentation   Email Verification Release Notes    Marketo Subscription and User Migration Resources Understanding Marketo Subscription and User Migration to the Adobe Admin Console Marketo Guide for Migrating to Adobe Identity Marketo and Adobe Identity Management FAQ  

On Wednesday, July 31, 2024, Marketo Engage will begin the deprecation of the following Social features within the product:• Polls• Social Button• Referral Offer• Video Share• Sweepstakes   Why we’re doing this When we deprecate older features that have low usage, we can reallocate their resources to the overall maintenance of Marketo Engage, which in turn creates an improvement in performance for users across the board. It also helps to ensure features with higher usage get updated and enhanced more frequently.   Dates and Details As of July 31, users will no longer be able to create, clone, or embed any of these Social features in Marketo Engage. Existing Social assets will continue to work through January 31, 2025. On February 1, 2025, Social assets will cease to function. Social features embedded in Landing Pages will need to be removed.   We look forward to continuing to provide you with industry-leading Marketing automation. If you have any questions, please reach out to our Support Team.

Adobe was just named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: B2B Revenue Marketing Platforms, Q3 2024. What is a B2B Revenue Marketing Platform? Why does it matter?   These two quotes from the Forrester report provide the first clues as to what Adobe’s B2B Revenue Marketing Platform includes:   “Adobe’s vision is compelling: it aims to converge ABM and marketing automation capabilities, inbound and outbound channel orchestration, and CDP capabilities in a next-generation revenue marketing platform.”   “Adobe offers a tightly integrated solution with a bold vision for buying groups.”   So, in our view, key ingredients here are customer data, person and account prioritization, journey orchestration, personalized cross-channel engagement, performance measurement, and buying groups. These all represent investments Adobe has been making (and continues to make) to provide our customers with a powerful, integrated, best-in-class solution for B2B marketing and go-to-market; ultimately, a solution to help organizations drive growth and do so more efficiently while delivering the personalized experiences demanded by today’s customers and prospects.   Forrester defines B2B Revenue Marketing Platforms as, “A comprehensive solution that enables marketing teams to execute their lifecycle revenue marketing efforts by providing a holistic view of prospects, buying groups, and customers, as well as their interactions and impact on the business.”¹   Let’s unpack all this.   Last millennium, CRMs were supposed to be the all-in-one solution for managing customer interactions. They fell far short for marketers. Marketing Automation Platforms including Adobe Marketo Engage were born. By now, customer engagement was shifting to digital channels and personalization was already a must. B2B teams needed automation to scale their marketing and deliver the right content, through the right channel, to the right person, at the right time. Enterprise companies needed automation with the flexibility to do all of this for a broad range of products, markets, and buyers.   First priority: engagement (you know, the actual marketing) Today, automated engagement remains at the core of B2B marketing. It’s where the rubber meets the road and where the marketing actually happens. Minds are won or lost. Your organization helps educate prospects and progress their decision-making…or not. Customers have a great experience and grow their investment with you…or not. Whether your demand process is lead-based, account-based, or a mix, it’s always about how well you can connect with and engage with people. It’s why we continue to invest heavily in new native Marketo Engage channels such as chat and webinars, in addition to AI-driven marketing attribution and an AI-fueled content supply chain. Forrester had the following to say about Marketo Engage:   “Adobe Marketo Engage stands out for its sophisticated e-mail marketing, web experiences, and multichannel and full customer lifecycle support.”   So, what is a B2B Revenue Marketing Platform? Forrester has referred to it as “the core B2B engagement platform”. So, if you remember nothing else, remember this – a B2B Revenue Marketing Platform needs to, above all else, be great at automating and orchestrating personalized, cross-channel engagement across GTM motions and demand funnel stages. Without that, you can improve things like audience targeting all you like, but the actual marketing will fall flat. For this reason, a good number of the capabilities said to be within a B2B Revenue Marketing Platform (and some of the most important ones, in our view) are core features of Marketing Automation Platforms. Forrester is now viewing their capabilities as ingredients in a larger recipe. What else is in the recipe?   Deeper data: Unlocking next-level prioritization, segmentation and personalization A little over 20 years ago, the IT Services Marketing Association (ITSMA) invented the term Account-based Marketing (ABM). The idea was simple: by better prioritizing accounts, Marketing could focus their efforts where they mattered most and team more closely with Sales on a narrower set of opportunities. Makes sense. Over time, data providers emerged offering 3rd party account intent data. Others provided account-based advertising, often guided by that intent data. Together, these capabilities have helped B2B teams at the top of the funnel with new customer acquisition.   Now, capabilities including Adobe’s AI-powered predictive lead and account scoring extend prioritization to the rest of the funnel and a broad range of GTM motions including upsell and cross-sell. It’s just one example of how the deeper B2B customer profiles of products like Adobe Real-Time CDP can fuel not just better personalization, but also better segmentation, targeting, and prioritization across the customer lifecycle. So, if engagement is the first ingredient of a B2B Revenue Marketing Platform, data / data management is likely the second. Doing it right takes a flexible and powerful CDP.  Many Marketo Engage customers have made this move with several, including Vanguard, Qualcomm, Nasdaq, and Avantor, sharing their success stories at Adobe Summit earlier this year.  Here’s what Forrester said about Adobe Real-Time CDP as a component of Adobe’s B2B Revenue Marketing Platform:   “It (Adobe Marketo Engage) is tightly integrated with Adobe Real-Time CDP, which excels in consolidating customer data from numerous sources into unified profiles, enabling real-time personalization and segmentation across channels.”   Buying groups: the go-to-market orchestration B2B Marketing and Sales have always needed The final ingredient in B2B Revenue Marketing Platforms represents one of the most important evolutions in B2B marketing to take place this century – buying group assembly and engagement orchestration. Why? Buying decisions in B2B are most often made by a group of people, not an individual lead and certainly not every single person working for an account. As such, the core cross-channel engagement capabilities of Marketing Automation Platforms have given us the marketing foundation we need. Deeper data and more unified data management has helped us better prioritize and deliver personalized engagement. But something important has been missing – the ability to understand, target and automate cross-channel engagement with buying groups. In other words, the ability to align our marketing and sales to the buying opportunities within an account, whether one or many.   Targeting the key personas in a buying group got us part way there as we inched closer to true 1:1 engagement, but still what’s been missing is the ability to use signals from an individual as context for engaging the entire buying group and continue to message at the buying group and individual level, throughout the journey, to help buying group members reach consensus faster, which is especially important when buying groups are large and distributed as is frequently the case today. This also opens the door to scoring and qualifying buying groups, in addition to individual leads and contacts, to give Sales a more complete picture of demand for specific offerings.   As such, within B2B Revenue Marketing Platforms, you will see an expectation that software vendors offer this capability. We believe Adobe addresses this need most completely with Adobe Journey Optimizer B2B Edition. It did not count toward our “current offering score” in this first-edition Forrester Wave because it was still in beta at the time, but, with its general availability, this application is a true game-changer for enterprise B2B marketing teams. What Forrester said about Adobe and Adobe Journey Optimizer B2B Edition:   “The company’s product strategy is differentiated by its strong commitment to buying groups, with the release of Adobe Journey Optimizer B2B Edition on the near-term roadmap. Adobe Journey Optimizer B2B Edition will seamlessly integrate with Adobe Marketo Engage and match individual addressable audiences to buying groups in target accounts.”   Final thoughts We find Forrester’s market view aligns very closely with our own vision, innovation, and roadmap. We’re proud of our performance and of being named a Leader and we look forward to continuing to work with our customers to advance their marketing and marketing careers.   We believe, as time passes and future editions are published, the component capabilities and weightings will shift to even better reflect what we see as the most important aspects of a “core B2B engagement platform”. We also believe that, as more teams invest in buying group orchestration (since the tech is now here to do it), that will become a more significant factor within this and other analyst reports.  On that note, we always encourage our customers to use these evaluations as just a starting point. What capabilities are most important to you? Which vendors have the breadth and depth to deliver against all your use cases?  That’s what really matters. Our approach at Adobe is to provide a tightly integrated B2B Revenue Marketing Platform with everything enterprises need to achieve their pipeline, revenue, efficiency, and customer experience goals – now and down the road.   I hope this helped. It can be a terminology soup out there. That said, this is one worth paying attention to. B2B marketing is evolving and there has never been a more exciting time to be a part of it!   Check out the full Forrester report here.   ¹”The B2B Revenue Marketing Platforms Landscape, Q2 2023”, Forrester

As part of our continued effort to enhance the Marketo Engage user experience, we will be migrating all developer documentation to the Adobe Experience League and the Adobe Developer website. This will provide a clean, updated interface for our developer community.   The bulk of the content remains the same—similar in structure with a familiar table of contents. One change, however, is that the API reference documentation is now hosted on https://developer.adobe.com/marketo-apis/, where we run all our Swagger/OpenAPI instances. This will be linked to from the new Developer documentation homepage.   The new experience is live and can be found on the Marketo Engage Developer Documentation homepage on Experience League.    The old experience will remain available until July 31, 2024. On that day, all links on developers.marketo.com will be redirected to their new counterparts. Developer blog posts will remain on the original site for the time being.   We hope you enjoy the updated experience!

During the next Marketo Measure product release, scheduled on June 14, 2024, Marketo Measure is deprecating the Salesforce fields that our managed package pushes to the Lead and Contact Objects in SFDC (see the Release Notes link at the bottom of this post to learn which fields). This blog post highlights the benefits and rationale of why Marketo Measure is turning these fields off, as well as how to retain the same information on your Leads, Contacts, and Reports in SFDC. Why deprecate these fields? There are multiple reasons: Eliminating the need to export to the Lead and Contact objects frees up bandwidth and API Calls, leading to fewer SFDC API credits used and improved processing speeds. Fewer direct object interactions means fewer opportunities for validation errors or permission issues for our SFDC<>Marketo Measure connected user. These changes also help with our data infrastructure, preventing unnecessary duplication of our core data points and minimizing reliance on related objects for data flow. What does this mean for me as a customer? The biggest impacts this deprecation will have on your system relate to how Marketo Measure data is surfaced for a Lead and Contact, both on any page layouts as well as in reporting. Information such as “Marketing Channel (FT)” or “Touchpoint Date (LC)” will no longer natively exist as a Field on the Lead or Contact; this data can be replicated with lookups to the related Touchpoint object. Similarly, any reports in Salesforce that are centered around the Lead Object or Contact Object that are referencing these fields need to be revamped (more info linked below). How can I “replicate” these data points? Marketo Measure provides documentation on how to replicate this data, both within your reporting as well as on your Lead and Contact Objects themselves. Our Release Notes detail creating a Custom Report Type that joins data between the Lead/Contact object with the Buyer Touchpoint object. This powerful report allows all the Marketo Measure data previously found on any Lead-only or Contact-only reports, and more.  Keep an eye out for upcoming blog posts from Salesforce experts on our Marketo Measure Partners team, who will outline exactly how to integrate Lookup fields on your Lead and Contact page layouts to display Marketo Measure data directly on the Leads/Contacts themselves.   Still have questions?Please contact Marketo Measure Support with any questions or issues you encounter around this release.
