Question 1 Domain 2Marketing Activities/Campaign Management

Bhaskar has implemented a new naming convention that calls for users to include PRODI, PR0D2, PROD3, or MULTI. These are to indicate which product line(s) the program is related to.

What is one new benefit Bhaskar will gain by implementing this new naming convention?

Correct Answer: A
Explanation

One new benefit Bhaskar will gain by implementing this new naming convention is that he will be able to create a global product-specific scoring program that triggers off Program Status Changes with a Program Name constraint. This will help him score leads based on their engagement with different product lines across different programs. For example, he can create a trigger that fires when Program Status is Changed and Program Name contains PROD1, and then add a flow step that increases the score for PROD1 by a certain amount.Creating product-specific dynamic content or nurtures does not require this naming convention.

Question 2 Domain 2Marketing Activities/Campaign Management

A marketer built an event program and added a forecasted period cost of $25,000 for the month/year the event will take place. The event was yesterday and today the marketer realized that they had additional variable costs above the original forecasted amount and updated the Period Cost to $30,000 in the Adobe Marketo Engage event program the same day.

Their CEO wants to know the value in terms of how much the event cost compared to the pipeline and or revenue generated asap.

When should the marketer generate a Revenue Cycle Explorer (RCE) report to ensure the true period cost is reflected?

Correct Answer: A
Explanation

The marketer should wait 24 hours for the updated period cost to be reflected in RCE. This is because RCE data is refreshed once a day, usually at night. Therefore, any changes made to the period cost or other program attributes will not be visible in RCE until the next day.RCE does not update in real time, and the updated period cost will be reflected in RCE eventually.

Question 3 Domain 3Lead Management

A marketer wants to be efficient and effective with their A/B testing strategy. What A/B testing best practice should the user follow?

Correct Answer: A
Explanation

A best practice for A/B testing is to run a combination of many tests sequentially and methodically. This will help the marketer optimize their email performance by testing one element at a time and measuring its impact on key metrics such as open rate, click rate, conversion rate, etc.Varying as many elements as possible in each test or ending the test as soon as one version surpasses the other are not best practices for A/B testing, as they can lead to inaccurate or inconclusive results.

Question 4 Domain 3Lead Management

A smart list consists of a 'Was Sent Email' filter with Email is any' and 'Date of Activity in past 1 year' constraints.

Why would a person not appear on this smart list?

Correct Answer: C
Explanation

A person would not appear on this smart list if the email sent to them last week bounced. This is because a bounced email is not considered as a sent email in Adobe Marketo Engage. Therefore, the person would not meet the criteria of the Was Sent Email filter and would be excluded from the smart list.The person would appear on the smart list if they were last sent an email 6 months ago or if they unsubscribed from the email they received last month, as long as they met the date of activity constraint

Question 5 Domain 2Marketing Activities/Campaign Management

Aya has finished building a webinar program in Adobe Marketo Engage and connected it to a Launchpoint partner. Webinar registration is being handled by an Adobe Marketo Engage landing page. During the quality assurance process, she visited the landing page and registered for the webinar for the first time, however, a confirmation email was not sent.

What are two places to troubleshoot? (Choose two.)

Correct Answer: B, C
Explanation

Two places to troubleshoot are to check to see if the smart campaign handling the registration has any members and to check to see if the person is a member of the Adobe Marketo Engage webinar program and set to the registered status. These checks will help Aya determine if there is any issue with her smart campaign logic or her program membership settings that prevented her from receiving the confirmation email.Checking if the confirmation email has the correct token or if the smart campaign is set to run every time or run once will not help Aya troubleshoot this issue, as they do not affect whether she receives the confirmation email or not.

Question 6 Domain 2Marketing Activities/Campaign Management

The duration of a wait step in an existing active smart campaign was modified from 2 days to 5 days.

If there were 10 people in the Wait step when the step was changed, what would happen?

Correct Answer: C
Explanation

The 10 people would automatically follow the new duration. This is because when a wait step duration is modified in an active smart campaign, it affects all people who are currently in the wait step as well as new people who enter the wait step. The new duration will be calculated from the time each person entered the wait step.The 10 people would not remain in the old duration or error out and skip the wait step.
