Adobe Summit: Campaign, CrossChannel Marketing in a Digital World

Patrick Tripp and Stephane Bline presented on Adobe Campaign (formerly Neolane)
They started off with a video on key information you know about customers like:

  • bought 5 concert tickets
  • is a season ticket holder
  • opened but did not click season renewal
  • How he bought his tickets
    • 2 at the door
    • 3 online

Definition: Cross-Channel marketing is about understanding the preference of the consumer and determining how you can engage with them.
Adobe Campaign brings the data together to deliver a personalized experience via a variety of channel.  You treat different segmented consumers differently based on their known interests and preferred channels.
Quote: There is no such thing as a one size fits all approach to customer engagement anymore.

Integrated Customer profile

This is the life blood of Adobe Campaign.  It’s central to everything they do with Adobe Campaign. Match.com knows more about their members than anyone else.   They store the profile of every consumer. They use it to deliver messages in real time.  They send millions of messages a day.

Target Segmentation

Use the profile  to drive one-to-one personalization.  It enhances the effectiveness of marketing.

Visual Campaign Orchestration

The Demo

Stephan walked us through a demo using Jenny a marketer at Geometrixx. Amma is the customer who enjoys running and loves her iPad.

  • Jenny logs into Adobe Campaign and creates a campaign for a product launch
    • Uses a template to create the campaign.
    • Template gives a pre-configured segmentation and workflow
    • Workflow was fairly complex and pushed messages to a variety of customers across many channel.
  • Emma received an email message in her inbox on her iPad.  It was of course, responsive
    • By clicking, she hit the landing page
    • Adobe Campaign gathered key information like the email open, clicking, etc.
    • Emma got a voucher as part of the offer and used the offer to hit the site to buy a pair of shoes
    • System automatically sent a confirmation message for the shoe receipt
  • Jenny logs in and runs reports. She can get a lot of information like
    • overall program sucess
    • overall campaign success
    • who opened
    • What segments
    • By city, state, device, ROI (if you put costing in), etc.
  • Jenny looks at the customer profile
    • The profile shows all interactions, emails, buying patterns, opening email, accepting an offer, etc.
