Hi @dillonlee02 - We don't use Knak, but use something similar: Momentum by CleverTouch (a UK-based agency). For us, we use a mixture of both. I really like having the choice. For global dynamic content or repeatable programs in our CoE we use tokenized Marketo templates with snippets - which makes it easy to build and launch quickly. It also means amends are quick (like you mentioned) and scalable. If I am creating assets personally, this is my preference. But we also have about 25 field marketing teams that don't have access to Marketo (and very little coding experience) so having Momentum for their local asset creation is very beneficial. Its a really intuitive UX: drag and drop, repeatable, moveable & deletable components, quick colour changes etc. (I imagine this is similar to Knak?) Then they can build something specific to their market, and launch the email/landing page etc, all without needing to access Marketo directly. For us, if changes are made and reapproved in the asset creator in Momentum, its then immediately resynced to Marketo (just syncs over as a 2nd version). I know this doesn't help your case to move 100% to templates, but I think depending on who is creating your emails (a core marketing function? MOPs? Field marketers trained in Marketo vs. not? etc) we definitely see the benefits of having both.
