Hello, Marketing Nation! Welcome to the third post of "Tuesday Tech Bytes 2024 Edition.". Today, we're diving into the world of Marketo & Marketo Measure by our very own Ajay Sarpal and reviewed by the rest of the Tech Bytes Team! Use these to supercharge your marketing efforts with Adobe Marketo Engage.
Let's face it, data. We marketers are drowning in it. But the real question is: how much of this data is actually telling the story of our marketing efforts? In my experience, traditional campaign reports often leave a gaping hole in the narrative, failing to show the complete customer journey and its impact on that magic number—revenue.
That's where Marketo Measure comes in, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer. When I first discovered Marketo Measure and its seamless integration with Marketo Engage, it was like finding the missing puzzle piece. Suddenly, I had the power to move beyond basic reporting and make data-driven decisions that fueled real, measurable growth.
Unlocking the Power of Integration
The real magic happens when you integrate Marketo and Marketo Measure. It's like having a superhero sidekick. This integration unlocks a treasure trove of benefits that let me create touchpoints I never could before:
- Marketo Measure Touchpoints via Marketo Activities: Now I can gain super-granular insights by creating touchpoints for a wide range of activities within Marketo Engage. This means I can:
- Identify Lead Readiness: Generate touchpoints automatically when a lead score reaches a specific threshold, indicating they're ready for sales outreach. This allows you to prioritize leads and ensure your sales team is focusing on the hottest prospects.
- Measure Email Engagement: Track email interactions like opens and clicks to understand how your email marketing efforts are resonating with your audience. You can create touchpoints on Marketo Measure specifically for these interactions.
- Capture Data Changes: Gain insights into how changes to data values (like website visits or form submissions) and lead scores influence the buyer journey. Create touchpoints on Marketo Measure to track these data value changes and understand their impact.
- Track Program Member Activity: Monitor changes in program member data, such as program enrollment and completion, to understand program effectiveness. Leverage Marketo Measure touchpoints to track these program member activities and assess program success.
- Optimize Nurture Programs: Analyze the impact of changes to nurture program cadences and identify the most effective sequences for lead nurturing. Create touchpoints on Marketo Measure to monitor these cadence adjustments and optimize your nurture programs for better results.
By leveraging Marketo activities, you can create a wealth of touchpoints within Marketo Measure, painting a detailed picture of your marketing efforts' influence on the customer journey.
Beyond Integration: Unlocking Hidden Gems
This dynamic duo offers even more superpowers!
-
Marketo Engage People Integration: This integration is a game-changer! Marketo Measure can now download contact information directly from Marketo, allowing it to tie tracked sessions to individuals and map touchpoints to their specific engagements. Previously, Marketo Measure relied solely on CRM data, which often doesn't give the details of all contacts of Marketo Engage. This means you can measure your marketing efforts sooner, without waiting for leads to reach a specific stage to be available in the CRM.
-
Marketo Engage Programs Integration: The Marketo Measure integration with Marketo Engage Programs allows you to create touchpoints for attribution tracking based on Marketo program memberships. This empowers you to track program memberships from email or engagement programs that wouldn't be captured by the Marketo Measure javascript. This ensures a more complete picture of the touchpoints that contribute to a lead's journey.
