Hello Community,
Welcome to the Adobe Marketo Engage Community Mentorship Program 2024! This is the featured Community Discussion thread for your Adobe Marketo Engage Community Mentor, Tamara Johnson (@tjohnson1 / @tamarajohnson) who will be here to guide and support you and your peers with your Adobe Marketo Engage questions as you prepare for your Adobe Marketo Engage Professional (AD0-E555) exam, through to the end of the program.
A little bit about your Adobe Marketo Engage Community Mentor, Tamara:
I've used Marketo Engage since 2019, and was certified in 2020 as a practitioner. I'm mostly self-taught, learning the software through my [then] new job as a digital marketer. The company I worked for at that time had a vacant position for an in-house marketing manager. The only requirement was to learn our tech stack and make improvements. It seemed right up my alley since I was already involved with data management and naturally curious. I was able to understand the mechanics of the software through aspects of segmentation, lifecycle management, and what influences conversions. It was a career move that set the mold for my new career path and niche base. Marketo made me what Seth Godin calls, The Purple Cow.

We're wishing you all the best as you embark on this learning journey!
Cheers,
Jon

Hi @chantaymorgan @Harsh91 @elenaburroni @ellie_pramenko Rajat Dua @christensenb
Happy Wednesday! 😁 We're coming to an end soon 😩! I'm glad I participated! I was able to give back and learn more about Marketo Engage and the community.
🔥We have another QUIZ 📚 and this time it is here 👉 https://forms.gle/DkpTXQuiitZaK1hEA 🔥
After your test, visit the Marketo Engage Guide Tutorials for demos and walk-throughs!
🍎Here is a tip for your actual Marketo Engage Exam:
The test can flag questions you want to come back to. So don't feel rushed. If you have a question requiring more time to answer flag it and move on. You won't lose your place. Once you get to the end of the test, you have time to go back and revisit the ones you skipped.
I'll have a bonus question posted soon!
Hello @tamarajohnson ,
Thanks for the new quiz 🙂
It is ending already, we just started 😞
I have submitted my response to the quiz.
It was nice knowing you and getting all the knowledge and questions about Marketo was such an amazing and knowledgeable experience.🤗
Thank you for your help, support and guidance.
Best,
Harsh
Hi @Harsh91
Great work on your quiz! 50 out of 60 points for the 12 questions. 🌟
It is great working with you. Your hard work and activity during our training questions show initiative and personal drive! That's what is needed in the realm of Marketing Tech.
I'm glad to know I was helpful in that capacity! Best of luck on your exam - but you don't need luck because you're prepared. 😊
I'll share a few more resources here today and Friday for the group to use.
All the best,
Tamara
Hi All, happy Friday! I am very late to this party, but it's nice to meet all of you. 😊
I am on the Business Communications team at Evernorth Health Services, a company of the Cigna Group. I have been managing B2B communications on this team for the past 3.5 years. We send around 400-500 emails through Marketo on an annual basis. I am very familiar with the tool and how it works, but do not build the emails themselves prior to sending them.
I'm excited to jump in (and catch up!)
@christensenb ☀️ Welcome! Thank you for sharing your background with the group. We're happy to have you here. 😊
You'll learn a ton in the Marketo Community overall and not just within our cohort.
I'll post a quiz today for everyone to participate and will drop a few bonus questions for you to complete.

Sleep and calmness work wonders for testing! Although your exam is multiple choice with a generous time limit to complete it, you still need to focus and read each answer - sometimes 3xs to make sure it's correct.
Hi @chantaymorgan @Harsh91 @elenaburroni @ellie_pramenko Rajat Dua @christensenb
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Look out for another quiz next week with some bonus questions throughout the week.
In the meantime study the following:
📙Workspaces & Partitions can be tricky if your company never used them or if you are in the process of sectioning your instance.
📘Snippets are great features that come in handy with email or landing page builds. They save time and are efficient to use.

I am happy that you and @elenaburroni found these helpful! Once you're able to break down certain areas of study you'll have an advantage on your exam questions!
Special features of engagement program.⭐ CORRECT ⭐
Great details > Remember to visit Understanding Engagement Programs in the Marketo Guide to stay sharp!

Nice Work! 😃 You're off to a good start > dive into your Marketo Guide: Understanding Programs for more detailed information!
Hello @Tamara !
Thank your for your corrections and suggestions.
I'll answer here the two bonus questions 😊
QUESTION 1
Thank you again for your useful study tips!
Best,
Elena
Great work @elenaburroni and reply!
You're up +2 points for engagement and question and answer! 😁
Identify the special features of engagement program ✔️
Stream: it is a set of content that the engagement program will use to nurture people in a particular stage. One nurturing setup can have multiple stream depending on buyer persona and how sales/marketing wants to nurture their leads
Cast: it is the date when you want to start sending emails from engagement program
Stream Cadence: it's the sequence or flow of event/actions.
Person Cadence: it permits to set preference for individual member in the stream
Content: they are the assets being used in the stream to nurture leads
Exhausted: the person who has received every content in a stream is called exhausted for that particular stream
Content Engagement Level: it is a score from 0 to 100 that will be provided by Marketo to your content using opens, clicks, unsubscribes, program success, and other factors.
🤓Very thorough and clear! A few more tips can be found here in the Marketo Guide for Creating An Engagement Program
Also, it's good know you can build drip campaigns with Default Programs using Smart Campaigns with Recurring Schedules.
That's if you have a very low-sequence promotional marketing campaign with a short period that you want to experiment with opposed to using a larger engagement program!
Example:
You may have Marketo Landing Page dedicated to people interested in winning a prize for a product promotion.
They visit your site, sign up, and give consent for communication.
You'll use this to send 5 emails to a new person. After the 5th email, if they have interacted with your emails (or website) and you send them a prize code to redeem.
Anyone who redeems the code can now drop into a standard engagement program or they can be cultivated by your direct sales your sales team.
Anything is possible with your program builds and a great strategy! (This isn't an exam scenario, but a way to help you remember certain tips)
🙂Nice! And these will be somewhere on the Section 1: Building and Managing programs in the Exam!

Hello @tjohnson1 and everyone!!
Hope you all are doing well. 😊
I'm Harsh, working for the ServicePlan Group in Düsseldorf, Germany in Adobe Solutions team. I have been working with different Adobe solutions for the last 10 years but this will be my first time to work with Marketo and marketing automation solutions.
I'm excited to connect with you all and learn.

Hi @Harsh91
I'm happy to connect with you on our contextual thread, and I'm glad your login information was solved.
I enjoy Marketo and am quite excited that it's a part of Adobe's vast number of products. My background is in graphic design and architecture so Adobe Creative Suite is something I used for 20 years. I have used Marketo for the past 5 years to learn the marketing environment. I'm here to help and answer as much as I can. The Marketo Community is full of people who want to help and have experience in so many dynamics of the program.

Hello @Harsh91,
Welcome to the group! It's great to have someone with your extensive Adobe experience on board. Given your expertise, I'm curious: which of the topics covered in this program do you think will be the most challenging for you?
Looking forward to your insights and to learning together.
Best,
Elena
