Timing global content sends within engagement streams

Hi Marketo community, 

I'm in the process of moving our nurture campaigns over to the engagment engine, and I have a question about timing global content sends within a single stream. In our current nurture campaign (which is part of a traffic cop campaign), we use a single send campaign to send each email to different regions (e.g. Send email to EMEA at 12am, Wait 7 hours, Send email to US). These emails go out every Thursday. Is there a way to accomplish this within one engagement stream by referencing an external program/programs with these send campaigns? Or would the best practice be to create separate streams for each region? 

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks,
Meghan

Hi Meghan,

You might want to try creating programs for each region - they can simply execute that single email in each time zone. A seperate stream for each timezone could get large, and then that work would be multiplied as you move leads up in your engagement program.

Brody

I would choose some core regions, EMEA, APAC, NALA and make a program for each. That will keep the emails always going out in around a 3 hour time period.

Thanks, everyone!

Brody and Adam - when you suggest creating separate programs, are you referring to normal Marketo programs or to engagement programs?
