What is Adobe Marketo Engage?
Adobe Marketo Engage, from Adobe since 2018, aims to help marketing teams drive demand and growth in their companies by delivering exceptional experiences in concert with sales at every stage of the customer journey.
The challenge these teams face is that everyone today expects a personalized experience whenever they interact with a company - they don’t have patience for generic marketing and the last thing they want is a cold call from sales. So to stay competitive, marketing teams are scrambling to understand customers better, so they can give them a better experience, because this is disrupting entire industries. And a big part of what’s needed is figuring out how marketing and sales can do a better job together.
The vendor states Adobe Marketo Engage redefines Marketing Automation by helping these companies bring together the customer data, content, automation and analytics needed for marketing and sales to coordinate engagement with customers that’s personalized and measurable at every touchpoint - and do it with efficiency and scale.

Make sure you have a good relationship with Marketo support. Once for a while thing will not work and they took a really long time to fix it.

Marketo makes B2B marketing a breeze
The best advice I would share is to learn how to navigate and use the Marketo Community.

Be aware that Marketo (any marketing automation platform) will never be a "buy it and turn it on" type of solution. To get the most out of your investment there will need to be a well-designed strategy, and people on your team who have the Marketo knowlege to implement and maintain this strategy.

The advice I would share would be this: Get help from an expert! At this point, there is a wealth of knowledge in the Marketo community and you should not go it alone. Hire a Champion with implementation experience, or use a Champion from a 3rd party consultancy, who knows the ropes and all of the "gotchas."

Please follow the best practices and have the right resources in your team. Not everyone is good with Marketing Automation.

Why Marketo is What You Need
If you're just starting out in your Marketo journey, please visit the community. It's the best place to get answers to specific questions, understand core concepts, and keep up with best practices. I also recommend subscribing to the champion blogs and joining your local Marketo User Group. The user group will help you network face to face with other Marketo users and the champion blog will keep you up to date on all the new discoveries of best practices made by the Marketo elite!

Take time to build a center of excellence, define naming conventions, set up templates, etc to make sure that everything is easy to find. Add tags to be able to find things easier in the future.

An Enterprise platform - with an Enterprise time commitment
My number one thing on a fresh instance would be establishing naming conventions from the start. Choose your folder structure carefully, and use a logical naming convention for your programs to make searching easier.
We use YYYYMMDD - BUSINESS UNIT - PRACTICE AREA - PROGRAM TYPE - SHORT DESCRIPTION.
We use abbreviations for the business unit, practice area and program type.
With a good naming convention like the above, I can search for every program by business unit, practice area or program type abbreviation, which greatly speeds up my work.

How to choose between Marketo, Eloqua and Adobe Campaign
If you are migrating from another MAP... document all your processes... this will guide a consulting team or you training you will need to execute your migration. This give you a clear migration road map and when you start to run out of time gives you a check list of items that can be moved to another phase. Some processes will need to be completely changed or moved to other systems. This is also a chance to remove some "bad practices" and re-evaluate processes. 3rd part Agency / integrators have wonderful expertise for you to tap into (especially around limitations and processes that need to be moved. I like the 3rd party folks because they will have a broader view that Marketo or the Adobe ecosystem. Make sure the can talk at the detail implementation level not just high level...
Plan, plan, plan. Talk to other departments to see how they could benefit from having automatic communications and get a list of requirements from each one. Then, take that information and prioritize multiple phases to your rollout and growth for the product. This will help make sure that your team doesn't need to field last minute requests and things that can put wrenches in your roll out plan.

Marketing Marketo
Get your design team involved as early as possible. Crafting high impact email/landing page templates will give you some quick wins. If your design team doesn't have experience coding with Marketo syntax, hire a third party for this.

Marketo has some flaws, but overall does the job very well.
Remember - Marketo is a great tool, but it's just the tool. It won't get you leads itself, you need to feed it with appropriate content. It won't automate your lead qualification and scoring without you defining qualification/scoring rules. It won't get your emails sent until you create them and fill them with meaningful messages.
It's like your supercharged Rolls-Royce that you need to feed with fuel. No fuel - no go. No nothing.

Good experience with Marketo so far
If you are about to embark on your Marketo journey, my first piece of advice would be to engage in the many documents Marketo makes available and get yourself educated on what you need to do to make your email programs work. Learn about smart lists, smart campaigns, reporting capabilities, streams, filters, and so on. It can seem like a very intimidating product when you first open it, but once you have a grasp of the basics, it's pretty easy to conduct your everyday business while constantly striving to learn more and do better. The Marketo community is also a valuable resource where you can connect with others who are using Marketo for work just like you are. They are sometimes even more knowledgeable than Marketo's support staff.

Marketo needs to improve on
Start of by building Base - Smart List and remove non target audience, unsubscribes etc and use that as your main database point to avoid errors. Make sure your integration with set properly with your CRM so you never have to worry about it again.

My Review
Take the time to learn the tool. Marketo is quite expansive and they are always improving it. Utilize the community as there are some very smart Marketo pros out there. If you are trying to accomplish something in Marketo and can’t figure out how, 100% chance that someone else has already figured it out. Utilize those resources!

Marketo is a great admin tool!
Marketo might seem complicated at first, but it's the best automated email marketing tool out there and is important to learn. Definitely look at the existing resources out there and play around with it at first. Oftentimes when you run into a problem, it's going to be a small one, where you forgot to set up a filter or trigger a campaign or something like that, so it's important to be attentive to detail and be willing to problem solve.

Marketo is great, one of the best tools for marketing automation I've had the opportunity to use.
Marketo is a blank canvas, which can be both good and bad. Without discipline, instances can become disorganized, cluttered, and finding things can be difficult. My advice is to be strict with making conventions and folder structures from the start to keep everything well organized!

Marketo Review
Other than the field sync selection I've already mentioned, I'd say walk through the SFDC or CRM set up steps carefully. I've seen it multiple times before....a Salesforce admin goes in to do the setup steps in SFDC, and gets going quickly or skips steps they think isn't necessary. Trust me - they are necessary. Slow down, walk through each line item one by one. You'll be thankful you took the extra time at this step when you're not sorting through sync issues later.

Marketo is great for companies looking for robust marketing capabilities
Marketo has a lot of functionality. I've found that it's good to focus on learning a couple of key aspects really well, rather than trying to be an expert on the whole system. If you get good at the parts you use the most you can always use the help center or reach out to the community for support on those parts you need help with.

I would take advantage of all of the free resources out there regarding Marketo usage, including the Marketo community and video tutorials. It's certainly helped me gain some footing in the system and enjoy marketing ops because there are so many things to learn.
