Course outcomes
With the course focusing on the Adobe Marketo certification, the content focuses on advanced Marketo functionality and use cases whilst covering off the specific topics that will be explored in the exam.
- Administration & Maintenance: Spending time in Marketo's Admin area, we look at configuration options and best practices for ensuring your Marketo instance is secure and ready to scale. We'll explore why you'd use Workspaces or Data Partitions, and setting up custom roles to tailor your own access requirements.
- Campaign Management: Here we look at advanced Marketo configuration for our main Program types, demonstrate the benefits of global assets, tokens, webhooks and program member custom fields. This takes up 46% of the exam, so this is a big one!
- Lead Management & Lifecycle: We get you comfortable in defining the Marketo lifecycle model, and provide best practices around lead scoring and Marketo Sales Insight management.
- Data Management: Learn how to build operational programs to clean up data, manage segmentations dynamically and analyse data quality.
- Reporting & Best Practices. Build out attribution models (focusing on Marketo's acquisition program function), learn how to identify key performance metrics for your campaigns and how best to visualise them. We also explore A/B testing, quality checks and best practices around lead scoring.
