Question 1

An Adobe Marketo Engage Architect is working for a car manufacturing company in Japan and wants to solve two problems:

1. Receiving errors when trying to integrate Marketo Engage with Salesforce's Custom Object, the custom object of Salesforce is storing the offers and gifts given to each car owner.

2. Store the periodic details of car services of owners in Marketo Engage. This will help the team to edit the records in Marketo Engage. Also, use Filter and Triggers for sending service reminders on Marketo Engage. This data at present is maintained offline in Excel.

In which two ways can the Architect solve these challenges? (Choose two.)



Answer : C, E

The two ways that the Architect can solve these challenges are to use Marketo Engage Custom object for problem 2 and to set the language of Marketo Engage sync user to English in Salesforce for problem 1. These ways will help the Architect to integrate Marketo Engage with Salesforce's Custom Object and to store the periodic details of car services of owners in Marketo Engage. Using Marketo Engage Custom object for problem 2 will allow the Architect to create a custom object that can store the car service details of owners in Marketo Engage, as well as to use filters and triggers for sending service reminders. Setting the language of Marketo Engage sync user to English in Salesforce for problem 1 will allow the Architect to avoid errors when trying to integrate Marketo Engage with Salesforce's Custom Object, as the language mismatch can cause sync failures or data corruption.


Question 2

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?



Answer : A

The order of steps required to build this program is to remove from flow (existing), change data value, change score, wait, and change data value. These steps will allow the program to build a subscription center that contains an option to ''pause notifications for 30 days'' to dissuade people from unsubscribing, and to perform the desired actions for the leads who select this feature. The remove from flow (existing) step will exclude existing records whose notifications are currently paused from the flow to avoid double processing. The change data value step will update the Marketing Suspended field to true for the leads who select this feature. The change score step will subtract five points from the lead score for the leads who select this feature. The wait step will pause the flow for 30 days for the leads who select this feature. The change data value step will update the Marketing Suspended field to false for the leads who select this feature after 30 days.


Question 3

Refer to the lifecycle model above.

A company wants improve the efficiency of its sales follow-up and enhance its velocity reporting across the funnel. The company currently uses the out-of-box Adobe Marketo Engage success with detours modeler. The stages are defined as:

1. Anonymous: Leads whose web activity is tracked, but whose identity is not known yet

2. Known: Leads for whom we have an email address or other information that allows us to market to them

3. Engaged: Leads that have engaged us by filling out a form, clicking a link in an email, or visiting our website at least 10 times within a week

4. Lead: Leads with scores greater than 25

5. Sales Person: Leads with scores greater than 30

6. Opportunity: Leads who also have an opportunity attached to them. The Max Age is set to 7 days before it moves to "Lost".

7. Won: Leads who are attached to opportunities that we have closed and Won

8. Recycling: People with scores below 25 that need to be nurtured

9. Disqualified: People who are not a fit for our products and services and we no longer want to market to them

0. Lost: People who are attached to opportunities that we have lost

Once leads reach the "Sales Person" stage, 50% of them do not get followed up by Sales until 7 days later. The Sales leader wants a salesperson to follow up with leads within 4 days.

Which two modifications should the Adobe Marketo Engage Consultant make to the lifecycle model to achieve these goals? (Choose two.)



Answer : C, D

The two modifications that the Adobe Marketo Engage Consultant should make to the lifecycle model to achieve these goals are to add an additional stage between ''Sales Person'' and ''Opportunity'' and to modify the Sales Person stage from Type: Gate to Type: SLA. These modifications will help the company to improve the efficiency of its sales follow-up and enhance its velocity reporting across the funnel, as well as to ensure that a salesperson follows up with leads within 4 days. Adding an additional stage between ''Sales Person'' and ''Opportunity'' will enable the Consultant to create a separate stage for leads that are being worked by Sales but have not yet become opportunities, as well as to measure the conversion rate and velocity of this stage. Setting type to SLA and setting Max Age to 3 days for this stage will enable the Consultant to define a service level agreement (SLA) between Marketing and Sales, as well as to monitor and measure the compliance and performance of Sales. Modifying the Sales Person stage from Type: Gate to Type: SLA will enable the Consultant to specify the maximum time that a lead can stay in the Sales Person stage before it is moved to another stage or marked as non-compliant. Setting Max Age to 4 days for this stage will enable the Consultant to align with the Sales leader's goal of following up with leads within 4 days.


Question 4

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.)



Answer : A, C, D

The three important elements for the Architect to consider when updating the scoring model are to use scoring tokens for all scoring values in the model, to consider the frequency of scoring in the implementation of the model, and to hold all scoring triggers in an operational program in Marketing Activities. These elements will help the Architect to audit and improve the existing prospect engagement scoring model according to best practices. Using scoring tokens for all scoring values in the model will enable the Architect to easily adjust and maintain the scoring values across different campaigns and programs, instead of hard-coding them. Considering the frequency of scoring in the implementation of the model will enable the Architect to avoid over-scoring or under-scoring leads based on their actions and behaviors, and to set appropriate time frames and limits for scoring triggers. Holding all scoring triggers in an operational program in Marketing Activities will enable the Architect to centralize and organize all the scoring campaigns and assets in one place, instead of scattering them across different folders or workspaces.


Question 5

Refer to the case study.

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.

Unicorn Fintech is using Salesforce and Adobe Marketo Engage. They want to change their lead sync and lead routing rules for new leads that are generated through Marketo Engage forms. The Marketing Operations Manager needs to help them build new automation. Leads must reach a minimum lead score of 50 prior to being synced for Inside Sales to follow up. Prior to syncing to Salesforce, they want to make sure that each lead has a minimum data set of lead source and country. The Inside Sales Managers in each region cannot agree on a single global process for which leads should be assigned to which Inside Sales reps once the leads are created in Salesforce. They want the flexibility to decide at the country level.

What is the most appropriate, scalable process for the Marketing Operations Manager to build?



Answer : B

Including country as a form field, using a hidden field to populate lead source, triggering the sync when the person reaches 50 points, and assigning to a country lead queue is the most appropriate, scalable process for the Marketing Operations Manager to build. This way, the process ensures that each lead has a minimum data set of lead source and country, that the lead score is high enough to indicate interest and readiness, and that the lead routing is flexible enough to accommodate different regional preferences. Using inferred data to populate the country field or the lead source field would not be reliable or accurate, as inferred data can be incorrect or missing. Triggering the sync immediately would not respect the lead score threshold of 50 points. Assigning to an Inside Sales rep or an Inside Sales Manager directly would not allow for flexibility or load balancing. Assigning to a country lead queue would allow for more control and visibility over the lead distribution


Question 6

An Adobe Marketo Engage Architect has just hired a new person to join their team. They have been tasked with building a new lifecycle model and you work together to develop a solution. The top half of the funnel stages (Known, Engaged, MQL) will be driven by Marketo Engage where as the bottom half of the funnel will be driven by specific data value changes in salesforce. Due to this quarter's budget reasons, there were not enough funds to subscribe to Revenue Explorer or Bizible but it will be prioritized for the next fiscal year.

Which scalable approach should the Architect choose to ensure that the lifecycle model is tracking lead stage changes accurately?



Answer : C

The scalable approach that the Architect should choose to ensure that the lifecycle model is tracking lead stage changes accurately is to build trigger logic within the Revenue Cycle Model. This approach will allow the Architect to create a lifecycle model that is driven by Marketo Engage for the top half of the funnel stages and by specific data value changes in Salesforce for the bottom half of the funnel stages, without requiring an active revenue cycle model. Building trigger logic within the Revenue Cycle Model will enable the Architect to define the criteria and conditions for each stage transition, as well as to track and measure the lead movement across the funnel stages.


Question 7

An Adobe Marketo Engage Architect is integrating a Marketo Engage instance for a nonprofit client with two different third-party platforms. The requirements are outlined below:

Scenario 1: Automatically clone existing default programs on Marketo, build the email using

the RSS feed of blog section, and schedule the email on every Thursday.

Scenario 2: Before deleting any record on Marketo, push the data to "Donor System".

How should the Marketo Engage Architect approach the platform integration?



Answer : B

The way that the Marketo Engage Architect should approach the platform integration is to use Email Scripting for scenario 1 and REST API for scenario 2. These methods will help the Architect to automate and optimize the processes of cloning existing default programs, building emails using RSS feed, scheduling emails, deleting records on Marketo, and pushing data to Donor System. Using Email Scripting for scenario 1 will allow the Architect to dynamically generate email content based on the RSS feed of blog section, instead of manually creating email assets. Using REST API for scenario 2 will allow the Architect to programmatically delete records on Marketo and push data to Donor System, instead of relying on manual or offline methods.
