Adobe Campaign

When Adobe surveyed the market, they found one player with the cross channel and multi-feature solution.  That was Neolane, now Adobe Campaign.   Mathieu of Adobe Campaign showed a demo.

• Today, adobe Campaign has been fully redesigned to use the Marketing Cloud
• Still use the same program / campaign organization
• Redesigned interface is much nicer than the old interface
• The workflow now incorporates the data and assets from other parts of the Marketing Cloud
  • Showed a real time campaign message through the mobile app
  • Pulled data from social media, profile info from registration, etc.
  • Had some problems because it was live
  • Took into account partner, customer, and other data as well
  • Tracks all sorts of data. How much time on the mobile app, what you are doing in what session, weather if you plan on skiing on Friday, etc.
  • Used the campaign to send out a personalized message to all the attendees as we were at the keynote.

One key item here.  The UI was very revised from what I’ve seen of recent Adobe Campaign / Neolane releases.
Here is the personalized email they sent:
