Common Questions About the Adobe Marketo Engage Architect Exam

Adobe Marketo Engage Architect Sample Questions:

Question 1

An Administrator wants to pull lifecycle data into a Revenue Explorer program membership analysis without an active revenue cycle model. The company wants to be able to see which programs are fueling the lifecycle.
Which two items must be in place to see that data in one view? (Choose two.)

A. A custom field that is enabled in Revenue Explorer
B. An approved Revenue Cycle Modeler
C. A custom field that contains the first touch program name
D. A custom field that is captured the lifecycle stage
E. A trigger for "manual transitions" in the Revenue Cycle Modeler

Question 2

An Adobe Marketo Engage Consultant is assigned to audit an existing Marketo Engage instance. The instance is 2 years old and follows a de-centralized model for program execution. Therefore, all marketers within the organization have been trained to operate and build in the Marketo Engage instance independently. During the audit, the consultant discovers:
1. Naming convention does not exist. Therefore, all program names are named arbitrarily.
2. There are four Marketo Engage Admins: The marketing operations manager, the demand generation manager, the CRM administrator, and the IT manager. All four admins have access to everything and have been creating fields on their own to fit individual business needs.
3. There is one workspace for the entire instance. However, the company has paid for additional workspaces.
4. There are two Revenue Lifecycle Models: a prospect lifecycle and a customer lifecycle.
The CMO wants to prioritize the following goals:
1. Ability to pull quick reports for prospect programs and customer programs from a reporting tool like Tableau.
2. Change the operating model from de-centralized to centralized so the marketing operations manager and CRM administrator are the only two people managing the operational side of the Marketo Engage instance and a new agency will manage the campaign execution on the behalf of marketing.
Which three recommendations should the Consultant make? (Choose three.)

A. Create two workspaces: A prospect workspace and a customer workspace
B. Create a folder structure to organize customer vs prospect campaigns
C. Create a naming convention that tags customer vs prospect campaigns
D. Increase the access for the marketing operations manager and CRM administrator to super admin so they can override the field creations from others
E. Create two workspaces: An operational workspace and a marketing workspace
F. Reduce the access for the demand generation manager and IT manager to a limited role that cannot create fields

UNICORN FINTECH COMPANY PROFILE
Unicorn Fintech is a mobile-only financial-servicesstartup created by a consortium of consumer banks to resell savings, checking, loan, transfer/remittance, and other services from a secure smartphone app. The company is venture-funded, and plans to reach profitability before a planned IPO in two years.
Business issues and requirements
Marketing is responsible for acquiring new customers 0 through online, television advertising, and email campaigns, and for cross-selling new services to customers through IM, email, and in-app campaigns.
Evaluating the success of these campaigns has been a persistent problem: although the company can track revenue by product line, it can't attribute those revenues to campaigns: for example, did a new loan come from onboarding a new customer, or by cross-selling a savings-account customer? Marketing currently uses crude, manual tools and guesswork to evaluate the quality and lifespan of new leads, and even the deliverability of emails in its external campaigns. As a result, the department can't allocate spending to the most productive campaigns, or decide how much different touchpoints in multi-stage campaigns contribute to revenue. Operational processes to connect lead data to CRM and other databases are entirely manual.
Staffing and leadership
Unicorn has fewer than 200 employees, and roles aren't always defined in traditional ways. Since customer acquisition and cross-selling are primarily through electronic channels, Marketing and IT roles especially often overlap. The traditional Sales role falls entirely to Marketing, and IT is responsible for the Salesforce CRM system, Google Analytics, and a handful of third-party integrations. The CMO and CIO work closely together on most initiatives, and budgets are typically project-driven rather than fixed annually. Individual contributors to Marketing campaigns include the Marketing Operations Manager, responsible for lead scoring and analytics. Key IT contacts include the CRM Administrator and Web Developer. Incidental contributors are the Corporate Attorney, who signs off on opt-in/out and DMARC policies.
Revenue sources
Unicorn earns commissions on financial services delivered by the banking consortium through its apps, including fixed finders' fees for what the company calls "skips"-customers who initially engage with Unicorn, but then "skip" to receive services directly from a consortium bank. Unicorn needs to attribute revenue from these customers to its own campaigns; currently, it's impossible to attribute ROI to individual campaigns, or provide documentation to claim commissions on "skips." Current and aspirational marketing technology Current Marketing technology consists of Marketable,an open-source lead management solution supported by a set of spreadsheets and scripts developed in-house. Marketable offers lead tracking and source attribution, but not multi-touch source attribution. Unicorn Fintech Marketing has difficulty linking the different stages of customer campaign journeys, and relies on scripts to translate Marketable's "sales alerts" into next steps it could use in multi-touch campaigns. IT has worked out scripts to input Marketable qualified leads into Salesforce, but the system is brittle and often requires manual intervention.
Current campaign management processes
A typical email campaign:
* Addresses a purchased (for customer acquisition) or0 in-house (for cross-sell) list. Purchased lists range from
300,000 to 1.5 million addresses
* Is sent from multiple data centers in the US and Canada
* Includes an "unsubscribe" opt-out below the message
* Is static; there are no formula fields
* Uses no deliverability authentication, nor integration 0 with any email management platform.
All campaigns to date direct respondents to a single 0 landing page with the company's "all markets" message.
More sophisticated targeting is a high priority.
Current lead management and attribution
Unicorn's lead-management process follows
Marketable's "out of the box" defaults: lead evaluation levels 1 through 3, lifecycle stages "unqualified" and
"qualified." The qualification processes are manual, and highly subjective: Marketing staff classify leads according to prospect email responses, including free-form comments. "Sales" followup is by email forms prompting higher levels of engagement. The company intends to phase out Marketable and replace spreadsheets and scripts with native features of whatever solution set it adopts.
Attribution processes are binary: response to a campaign email or web visit is rated a success if it results in a sale: there is no success rating assigned to TV ads that result in web visits, for example. Cost are not allocated to individual campaigns.
The Marketing department plans to expand outreach to social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, in-house and third-party financial blogs), and wants to make sure it can assess the ROI of these channels, and the overall social media program.
Current governance processes
Currently, the Marketing department assigns content development and campaign management duties to team members on a campaign-by-campaign basis. All team members (and IT) have access to all assets and tools, which sometimes leads to duplication and conflicts. The CMO realizes that a more specialization will be necessary to support the social media campaigns, but hasn't decided on the optimal organizational model.
Input of qualified leads from Marketable into
Salesforce is by manual cut-and-paste, assisted by scripts; inconsistency of input practices across Marketing team members is a known problem; individual members have their own "go-to" fields: where one member might check "TV ad" as Lead Source, another would put that in the comments field.
CMO
The CMO's most important concerns are:
* The current solution has too many manual steps to scale with anticipated growth
* Without more sophisticated attribution, the company will overinvest in less productive campaigns, and underinvest in better ones
* In general, analytics integrations are manual, slow, and unreliable
* The current system completely misses "skips"-customers switching from the Unicorn app to consortium banks-an important source of revenue
* Documenting the value of Unicorn's Marketing processes is essential to the success of the planned IPO, and millions of dollars in stock valuation hangs in the balance.
CIO
The CIO is concerned primarily with:
* The amount of time his team spends patching up Marketing campaigns and CRM data transfers, at the expense of other, critical initiatives
* Quality and reliability of the Analytics information his team provides to Marketing MARKETING STAFF Marketing Operations staff concerns:
* Campaigns require so much work that they can't run as many of them as they need to
* Multi-touch cross-selling campaigns (for example, savings accounts to loans) with excellent margins, but no way to know which campaign touches perform best
* Getting swamped with manual record-keeping; for example, spreadsheet mistakes take hours to find and fix
* Poor integration with third-party tools for preparing, sending, and evaluating campaign materials, for Example.
o Webhook not firing,
o Reaching API limit
o Synchronization errors with third-party tools and Salesforce
* Inadequate number of lead stages and qualification levels, making it difficult to evaluate lead value, especially in multi-touch campaigns Despite the absence of an external Sales team, Marketing Operations would like to improve the granularity of their lead tracking, including both lifecycle stages and quality levels, with "no score" and negative levels.
A key revenue source for Unicorn is "skips". This source is made up of customers who initially engage with Unicorn, but then "skip" to receive services directly from a consortium bank. Unicorn wants to attribute this revenue from these customers to their campaigns. Unicorn IT has done the due diligence to be able to receive access to this data.
For Marketo's revenue attribution model and overall data architecture, in which location should this data be available to Marketo?

A. Stored in a Marketo Custom Object
B. Stored on a Salesforce Custom Object and synced to Marketo via the native sync
C. Stored directly on the Person record
D. Stored on the Salesforce Opportunity Object and synced to Marketo via the native sync

Question 4

An Adobe Marketo Engage Architect starts their first day at their new job managing the Marketo Engage instance. When inspecting the instance, they notice that the sync to Salesforce was unusually slow and takes several hours to populate Salesforce campaign membership from Marketo Engage programs. Upon closer inspection, several errors occurred under the notifications of syncs timing out or hitting the concurrent limit.
Which three actions can the Architect take to help diagnose and address the problem around sync to Salesforce issues?

A. Use campaign inspector to determine the number of sync to CRM flow steps Check the permissions in the CRM for the Marketo sync user profile Check for a sync backlog in the CRM admin under the sync status tab
B. Create a smart list to identify Marketo Engage records that have an empty CRM type Review the field management mapping Check the permission in the CRM for the Marketo sync user profile
C. Go to admin and view the CRM notification errors Count the number of custom CRM fields Increase the time between CRM and Marketo syncs

Unicorn Fintech is using Salesforce and Adobe Marketo Engage. They want to change their lead sync and lead routing rules for new leads that are generated through Marketo Engage forms. The Marketing Operations Manager needs to help them build new automation. Leads must reach a minimum lead score of 50 prior to being synced for Inside Sales to follow up. Prior to syncing to Salesforce, they want to make sure that each lead has a minimum data set of lead source and country. The Inside Sales Managers in each region cannot agree on a single global process for which leads should be assigned to which Inside Sales reps once the leads are created in Salesforce. They want the flexibility to decide at the country level.
What is the most appropriate, scalable process for the Marketing Operations Manager to build?

A. Include country as a form field, use a hidden field to populate lead source, trigger the sync when the person reaches 50 points, and assign to a country lead queue
B. Include country as a form field, use a hidden field to populate lead source, trigger the sync immediately, and assign to a country lead queue
C. Use inferred data to populate the country and lead source fields, trigger the sync immediately, and assign directly to the Inside Sales Managers in each region
D. Use inferred data to populate the country field, use a hidden field to populate lead source, trigger the sync when the person reaches 50 points, and assign to an Inside Sales rep
