PathFactory The Engine Behind Our Customer-Centric Engagement

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PathFactory in multiple ways. As a nurture channel for global campaigns, custom/dedicated microsite for the most prized accounts and in the past year as personalization at scale engine for our top accounts.

Each dedicated microsite for our prized accounts is built based on the key priorities of that account indicating customer centricity at the core.

Critical business issue the platform solves is the speed at which a dedicated microsite can be launched based on templates and still be made customizable. Another area is you can do all of this with no coding experience. As long as you have the logic and relevant content - PathFactory can do what you want.

Pros

  • Customization/rendering a dedicated and professional website
  • Template driven - less time to get a site up and running with no dependency
  • Prompt customer service responsiveness
  • Listening to the customers to understand their needs

Cons

  • Reporting and analytics
  • Tighter integration with ABM platforms
  • AI based content reword recommendations (esp in microsites)
  • Auto save of in progress microsites

Return on Investment

  • We won the [...] of the year award based on a personalization at scale concept and PathFactory was the crux of it
  • I won the [...] of the Year award in 2025 and PathFactory was the core element
  • Showcases customer centricity in everything that we do

PathFactory is a crucial content platform

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PathFactory for most of our core content experiences. We use it to create tracks of multiple pieces of content for newsletters, email campaigns, etc. We also use it to build landing pages/microsites for ABM campaigns. The main use case is providing prospects/customers with multiple pieces of content in one place, rather than a single asset. Each track encourages people to "binge" on multiple pieces.

Pros

  • Multi-asset experiences
  • Content consumption analytics
  • Customer support (shout out to [...]!)

Cons

  • The UI is confusing. Has been improved, but still too hard to find things
  • Analytics are too slow. Migrated from Looker to something else, but the old and new experience are both quite slow
  • Customizable URL slugs for uploaded content

Return on Investment

  • Increase in multiple-asset views
  • Time-savings for our content team and MOps (since the content team can self-serve)
