Have you moved to a new company but you want to keep all of your profile info, activity, content, and rewards and points? Great, we can help.   Log into your new Marketo Instance and follow these steps. Email our Customer Care team at customercare@marketo.com as soon as you get your new community account set up so we can swap your information. They will need the email address of your old profile as well as the email address of the new profile to which you want your profile info, activity, content, and rewards and points moved.   Important: DO NOT CREATE ANY CONTENT ON YOUR NEW ACCOUNT before we've completed the information swap. Any content you create in the new profile will be lost if you decide you want to swap profiles AFTER the fact.   Please note that we can only SWAP account information from one profile to another. We cannot merge points or profile information from multiple profiles to one profile. So in these cases, we recommend you give us the email associated with the account with the information you'd like to retain and ask that we swap it with the account you'd like to use going forward.   We will notify you when the process is complete through the Customer Care case you have opened. If you have questions regarding this process, please feel free to post in About Community.

When you log into the community and click on your profile, you may be a bit surprised, perhaps even angry at first. "it looks totally different, I can't find anything!" may be your initial thought or saying out loud. But...then you take a closer look and realize you may have been overreacting, and the profile actually is a lot cleaner and it is easier to find things. First, let me start by saying I totally understand your initial feelings that change is annoying and inconvenient...if those in fact were your initial feelings. But let me walk you through the sweet new look and feel of your profile so you can at least hear the benefits, if you don't already see them. Here's what made my top 5 in terms of upgrades: 1. The layout in general is soooo much cleaner. Sure there is not as much color contrast which as first, threw me off. But seeing all the pages neatly laid out as tabs under my photo made me very happy. Some of those were hidden under drop downs before. Here on the profile overview page you've got your personal information on the left with the most important above the fold. Nothing has changed with the order by which your personal info is presented. 2. You can easily edit your profile, photo, and location with one to two clicks. See below. 3. Photos got demoted (scroll to the bottom of the profile page). The community is not meant to compete with or replace your Facebook page, so it makes sense that the photos were moved to the bottom of the page. They are still there for those people that want to get to know you a bit better, but doesn't take up half the page like before. This does not take away the importance of the avatar and profile photo, please please make sure those are complete! 4. Points & reputation got an upgrade! I love that the points are easily seen in the top right, and just by clicking on them you are taken to the reputation tab, which you also now see from teh overview page. It was fairly hidden before, so this is a great addition. 5. Content tab is easy to find, and one of the most important in my opinion. If you've ever posted something in our vast community and then tried to reference it again but could not find it...this is your money maker. Click this tab and view any of your drafts, authored content, content you've participated in, or even content you are following. I hope you enjoy this nice upgrade and if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to comment! Best, Liz

Dear Valued Customer, Ten years ago, we embarked on a journey to create a great company – one that is a true thought leader and innovator, with a mission to enable organizations to improve the way they market to and engage with their customers. Any way you look at it, we have been wildly successful realizing this vision, and your passion and support of Marketo have helped to make this success possible. Today, we embark on the next leg of our journey, as we come to an important milestone for Marketo.  This morning we announced that Marketo has agreed to be acquired for approximately $1.79 billion in cash ($35.25 per share) by Vista Equity Partners (marketo.com/DArelease), a leading private equity firm focused on software and technology-enabled businesses. Vista like Marketo is a bold innovator. They have pioneered a unique new investment and operating model for high-growth SaaS companies with best-in-class software products and referenceable customers. Since Marketo has always been about growth, this lines up perfectly with our vision. So what does this mean for you, and for Marketo? Our continued independence will allow Marketo to direct all of our energy to what we have done for so long: set the agenda for product innovation and thought leadership for the entire digital marketing industry, and to make you and the rest of the Marketing Nation successful. We remain committed to delivering on our strategic product roadmap and current and future customer commitments. Our partnership with you and your success is our priority. There will be many more steps in the process of completing the transaction. The exact timing and details of the process are not yet known, but are expected to be complete in Q3 2016. The Marketo team will continue to share information as it becomes available. For more information, you can read an FAQ (marketo.com/DAfaq). These are exciting times and we look forward to partnering on this next chapter of growth and success! Thanks for your passion and support.  Phil Fernandez Chairman & CEO Additional Information and Where to Find It Marketo, Inc. (“Marketo”) plans to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and furnish to its stockholders a proxy statement in connection with the proposed merger with Milestone Merger Sub, Inc., pursuant to which Marketo would be acquired by entities affiliated with Vista Equity Partners (the “Merger”). The proxy statement described above will contain important information about the proposed merger and related matters.  STOCKHOLDERS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF MARKETO ARE URGED TO READ THESE MATERIALS (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION THAT MARKETO WILL FILE WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT MARKETO AND THE TRANSACTION.  Investors and stockholders will be able to obtain free copies of these documents and other documents filed with the SEC by Marketo through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. In addition, investors and stockholders will be able to obtain free copies of these documents from Marketo by contacting Marketo’s Investor Relations at (650) 727-6845, by e-mail at ir@marketo.com, or by going to Marketo’s Investor Relations page on its website at investors.marketo.com and clicking on the link titled “SEC Filings.” Participants in the Solicitation The directors and executive officers of Marketo may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of Marketo in connection with the proposed Merger. Information regarding the interests of these directors and executive officers in the transaction described herein will be included in the proxy statement described above. Additional information regarding Marketo’s directors and executive officers is also included in Marketo’s proxy statement for its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 13, 2016. These documents are available free of charge as described in the preceding paragraph. Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This letter contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, but not limited to, statements regarding possible or assumed future results of operations of Marketo, the expected completion and timing of the Merger and other information relating to the Merger. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “forecasts,” “should,” “estimates,” “contemplate,” “future,” “goal,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “projection,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “assuming” and other words or expressions of similar meaning or import are intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should, therefore, carefully read and consider statements that contain these words or expressions, as such forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the risk that the proposed Merger may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect Marketo’s business and the price of the common stock of Marketo, (ii) the failure to satisfy all of the conditions precedent to the consummation of the proposed Merger, including, but not limited to, the required consent of the stockholders of Marketo and the receipt of certain governmental or regulatory approvals, (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, (iv) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on Marketo’s business relationships, operating results and business generally, (v) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations and the potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the transaction, (vi) risks related to diverting management’s attention from Marketo’s ongoing business operations, (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us related to the merger agreement or the Merger, and (viii) such other risks and uncertainties as identified in Marketo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016, each as filed with the SEC, which contain and identify important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.  Marketo assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement contained in this letter.

Now that User Group communications are all in Community, it is important you adjust your email preferences within the Community to fit your needs. When you join a user group by following that group you are subscribed to all the activity and communications that goes on within that group. Here's how: 1. Click your profile drop down in the global navigation, and select preferences:                2. Here, you can choose to receive email for different actions. To receive user group announcements (invitations) in your email inbox (not JUST your Community inbox) select: Since you have checked yes to receiving notifications, now you specify which notifications you want in your inbox. I have checked yes to content that I have created or participated in, and social actions so I am notified if someone is trying to reach out to me. I suggest you select 'all activity' so you receive these notifications in real time. Otherwise you could miss a meeting! If you want to receive notifications in your inbox of the activity of all of the people you are following, select email next to 'following' at the bottom. You can also indicate if you want to receive all activity, or just a daily, weekly digest.

Some customers may encounter a particular login situation when connecting to the Marketing Nation Community through their Marketo instance. First, you log into your Marketo instance and then you click on the Community button and you receive this screen, which loops over and over again. We've done some testing and it seems the potential cause for this has to do with whether or not your organization uses a Single Sign-on solution (i.e. OneLogin, SecureLogin, Bitium, etc) and your Marketo Admin has enabled the Single Sign-on Settings on your Marketo instance. The workaround to avoiding this error is to bypass using your Single Sign-on solution and logging into Marketo directly by going to https://login.marketo.com/ and entering your Marketo login information. This is a temporary solution as our engineering team is currently investigating a long term solution for this situation.
