UNICORN FINTECH COMPANY PROFILE
Unicorn Fintech is a mobile-only financial-servicesstartup created by a consortium of consumer banks to resell savings, checking, loan, transfer/remittance, and other services from a secure smartphone app. The company is venture-funded, and plans to reach profitability before a planned IPO in two years.
Business issues and requirements
Marketing is responsible for acquiring new customers 0 through online, television advertising, and email campaigns, and for cross-selling new services to customers through IM, email, and in-app campaigns. Evaluating the success of these campaigns has been a persistent problem: although the company can track revenue by product line, it can't attribute those revenues to campaigns: for example, did a new loan come from onboarding a new customer, or by cross-selling a savings-account customer? Marketing currently uses
crude, manual tools and guesswork to evaluate the quality and lifespan of new leads, and even the deliverability of emails in its external campaigns. As a result, the department can't allocate spending to the most productive campaigns, or decide how much different touchpoints in multi-stage campaigns contribute to revenue. Operational processes to connect lead data to CRM and other databases are entirely manual.
Staffing and leadership
Unicorn has fewer than 200 employees, and roles aren't always defined in traditional ways. Since customer acquisition and cross-selling are primarily through electronic channels, Marketing and IT roles especially often overlap. The traditional Sales role falls entirely to Marketing, and IT is responsible for the Salesforce CRM system, Google Analytics, and a handful of third-party integrations. The CMO and CIO work closely together on most initiatives, and budgets are typically project-driven rather than fixed annually. Individual contributors to Marketing campaigns include the Marketing Operations Manager, responsible for lead scoring and analytics. Key IT contacts include the CRM Administrator and Web Developer. Incidental contributors are the Corporate Attorney, who signs off on opt-in/out and DMARC policies.
Revenue sources
Unicorn earns commissions on financial services delivered by the banking consortium through its apps, including fixed finders' fees for what the company calls "skips"-customers who initially engage with Unicorn, but then "skip" to receive services directly from a consortium bank. Unicorn needs to attribute revenue from these customers to its own campaigns; currently, it's impossible to attribute ROI to individual campaigns, or provide documentation to claim commissions on "skips."
Current and aspirational marketing technology
Current Marketing technology consists of Marketable,an open-source lead management solution supported by a set of spreadsheets and scripts developed in-house. Marketable offers lead tracking and source attribution, but not multi-touch source attribution. Unicorn Fintech Marketing has difficulty linking the different stages of customer campaign journeys, and relies on scripts to translate Marketable's "sales alerts" into next steps it could use in multi-touch campaigns. IT has worked out scripts to input Marketable qualified leads into Salesforce, but the system is brittle and often requires manual intervention.
Current campaign management processes
A typical email campaign:
* Addresses a purchased (for customer acquisition) or0 in-house (for cross-sell) list. Purchased lists range from 300,000 to 1.5 million addresses
* Is sent from multiple data centers in the US and Canada
* Includes an "unsubscribe" opt-out below the message
* Is static; there are no formula fields
* Uses no deliverability authentication, nor integration 0 with any email management platform.
All campaigns to date direct respondents to a single 0 landing page with the company's "all markets" message. More sophisticated targeting is a high priority.
Current lead management and attribution
Unicorn's lead-management process follows
Marketable's "out of the box" defaults: lead evaluation levels 1 through 3, lifecycle stages "unqualified" and "qualified." The qualification processes are manual, and highly subjective: Marketing staff classify leads according to prospect email responses, including free-form comments. "Sales" followup is by email forms prompting higher levels of engagement. The company intends to phase out Marketable and replace spreadsheets and scripts with native features of whatever solution set it adopts.
Attribution processes are binary: response to a campaign email or web visit is rated a success if it results in a sale: there is no success rating assigned to TV ads that result in web visits, for example. Cost are not allocated to individual campaigns.
The Marketing department plans to expand outreach to social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, in-house and third-party financial blogs), and wants to make sure it can assess the ROI of these channels, and the overall social media program.
Current governance processes
Currently, the Marketing department assigns content development and campaign management duties to team members on a campaign-by-campaign basis. All team members (and IT) have access to all assets and tools, which sometimes leads to duplication and conflicts. The CMO realizes that a more specialization will be necessary to support the social media campaigns, but hasn't decided on the optimal organizational model.
Input of qualified leads from Marketable into
Salesforce is by manual cut-and-paste, assisted by scripts; inconsistency of input practices across Marketing team members is a known problem; individual members have their own "go-to" fields: where one member might check "TV ad" as Lead Source, another would put that in the comments field.
CMO
The CMO's most important concerns are:
* The current solution has too many manual steps to scale with anticipated growth
* Without more sophisticated attribution, the company will overinvest in less productive campaigns, and underinvest in better ones
* In general, analytics integrations are manual, slow, and unreliable
* The current system completely misses "skips"-customers switching from the Unicorn app to consortium banks-an important source of revenue
* Documenting the value of Unicorn's Marketing processes is essential to the success of the planned IPO, and millions of dollars in stock valuation hangs in the balance.
CIO
The CIO is concerned primarily with:
* The amount of time his team spends patching up Marketing campaigns and CRM data transfers, at the expense of other, critical initiatives
* Quality and reliability of the Analytics information his team provides to Marketing
MARKETING STAFF
Marketing Operations staff concerns:
* Campaigns require so much work that they can't run as many of them as they need to
* Multi-touch cross-selling campaigns (for example, savings accounts to loans) with excellent margins, but no way to know which campaign touches perform best
* Getting swamped with manual record-keeping; for example, spreadsheet mistakes take hours to find and
fix
* Poor integration with third-party tools for preparing, sending, and evaluating campaign materials, for
Example.
o Webhook not firing,
o Reaching API limit
o Synchronization errors with third-party tools and Salesforce
* Inadequate number of lead stages and qualification levels, making it difficult to evaluate lead value, especially in multi-touch campaigns
Despite the absence of an external Sales team,
Marketing Operations would like to improve the granularity of their lead tracking, including both lifecycle stages and quality levels, with "no score" and negative levels.
Unicorn Fintech launches a new paid subscription app where users can sign up to read financial advice. Access to Unicorn Fintech's new app is renewed each year, and the App User Expiry Date is a date field that is updated hourly from CRM to Adobe Marketo Engage. Another string type field called App User Status changes to a status of "Current" in Marketo Engage when the App User's access becomes valid, and changes to "Lapsed" if the App User fails to renew.
The Marketing team wants to add App Users who have not yet renewed to an Engagement Program to nurture them 2 months prior to their App User Expiry Date, and then remove the App User from the nurture if they renew.
Which smart campaign setup is the most efficient to manage adding the App User to the nurture?
Building a triggered Smart Campaign, using a Wait Step with a Date Token, and then Add to Engagement Program is the most efficient way to manage adding the App User to the nurture. This way, the Smart Campaign will trigger whenever the App User Status changes to ''Lapsed'', and then wait until two months before the App User Expiry Date to add the App User to the Engagement Program. Building a scheduled batch Smart Campaign would require running the Smart Campaign periodically to check for new App Users who have not renewed, which is less efficient. Using a Wait Step with a specific date would not work for different App Users who have different expiry dates. Changing Engagement Program Cadence would not add or remove the App User from the nurture.

The Unicorn Marketing Operations team has five custom integrations pushing and pulling data between Adobe Marketo Engage and other third-party systems. All five custom integrations are currently using the same API user and custom Launchpoint service.
What should be the primary security concern for Unicorn?
All five custom integrations are using the same shared API credentials including client ID and client secret is the primary security concern for Unicorn. This means that if one of the integrations is compromised or misconfigured, it could affect the security and functionality of the other integrations. It also means that if Unicorn needs to revoke or change the API credentials for any reason, it would impact all five integrations at once. It would be better to use separate API credentials for each integration, and follow the best practices for securing and managing them. The Unicorn Marketo Engage Admin cannot see which integration is consuming API calls, so risk exceeding API call limits is not a primary security concern, but rather a performance concern. This scenario does not allow for IP restrictions to be enforced for incoming traffic to the Marketo REST API is not a primary security concern, as IP restrictions are optional and not required for the REST API. Using a single API user only does not allow Webhooks to be sent to the right location is not a primary security concern, as Webhooks are not dependent on the API user or the Launchpoint service.

Unicorn starts rebuilding out its Revenue Cycle Model (RCM) to move away from the generic Marketable model. The goal is a model that more accurately mtaches its customer journey. When building out the RCM, Unicorn finds that several of their "Skips" (customers who initially engage with Unicorn, but then "skip" to receive services directly from a consortium bank) seem to only appear at the Engaged phase due to scoring, before reappearing as a 'Closed Won' in their CRM.
As the CRM begins to sync back these Closed Won Opportunities, how should this journey be captured in the Revenue Cycle Model?
The ''Skips'' should have a detour arrow above the Success Path that moves them directly from 'Engaged' to 'Closed Won'. This way, the Revenue Cycle Model can capture the unique journey of these customers who bypass the normal stages of the Success Path and still generate revenue for Unicorn. The detour arrow would also allow for reporting and analysis of the ''Skips'' segment and their contribution to the overall revenue. The ''Skips'' should not have specific stages in the success path that are the equivalent of MQL, SAL, and Opportunity, but with ''Skips'' labelled, as this would create confusion and redundancy in the model. The ''Skips'' do not go through these stages, so they should not be assigned to them. Managing the ''Skips'' quickly by moving them through each stage of the Success Path from engaged to 'Closed Won' once identified would not be a good solution, as it would distort the accuracy and integrity of the model. The ''Skips'' do not follow the same criteria and behavior as the other customers who go through each stage, so they should not be treated as such.

Unicorn and their Adobe Marketo Engage Architect want to update their current scoring for web-based behaviors. One area that is highlighted for changes are the forms. The goal is to avoid using one form score, and instead use 3 score values, depending on whether the form is low (+3); medium (+7), or high value (+15).
What is the most scalable way to build these changes?
Building smart campaigns that trigger based on the appropriate form into the scoring program and adding the appropriate score value 'My Tokens' into the 'Change Score' flow step is the most scalable way to build these changes. This way, the score values can be easily updated and reused across different forms and programs. Updating the hidden behavioral score fields in each form or using 'Change Data Value' flow steps are not scalable solutions as they require manual updates and duplication.
https://breadcrumbs.io/blog/marketo-lead-scoring/
A Sales team reports to Marketing that they receive false MQLs regularly. The Adobe Marketo Engage instance has three fields to track lead scores:
* "Total Score" is a sum of Behavior and Demographic Scores.
* A prospect gets graduated to MQL as soon as "Behavior Score" changes to 100 or greater and 'Demographic Score" must be at least 20.
* All "Demographic Score" smart campaigns are set up using "Person is Created" trigger with no filters.
The Marketo Engage Administrator audits the false MQLs and learns that most of them received a "Demographic Score" of +20 for being in a target "Job Title" and preferred "Country". Their "Demographic Scoring" was not completed. They received -10 for the "Industry" because these false MQLs are from Universities.
Which two sets of actions should the Architect take to stop sending the false MQLs to the Sales team? (Choose two.)
The two sets of actions that the Architect should take to stop sending the false MQLs to the Sales team are to use trigger ''Not Score is Changed'' on ''Demographic Field'' and to create a Boolean field and Smart-Campaign called ''Demographic MQL Score''. These actions will help the Architect to improve the lead scoring and qualification process, as well as to avoid sending leads that are not ready or qualified to the Sales team. Using trigger ''Not Score is Changed'' on ''Demographic Field'' will ensure that leads are scored only once based on their demographic attributes, instead of multiple times based on their behaviors.
