Adobe and Marketo, an Adobe Company, Recognized Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

San Jose, Calif. – Adobe announced that Adobe and Marketo, an Adobe company, have been named Leaders by Gartner, Inc. in the “Magic Quadrant for Multichannel Marketing Hubs” (April 2019) research report. For the second consecutive year, Adobe was recognized as a Leader. Evaluation criteria for completeness of vision included market understanding, marketing strategy, sales strategy, offering (product) strategy, business model, vertical/industry strategy, innovation and geographic strategy. The report evaluated 21 vendors, and Adobe and Marketo were positioned in the Leaders quadrant, which we believe highlights leadership across B2C and B2B marketing (see blog post).

According to the report, “Gartner defines the multichannel marketing hub (MMH) as a technology that orchestrates a company’s communications with and offers to customer segments across multiple channels. These include websites, mobile, social, direct mail, call centers, paid media and email. MMH capabilities also may extend to integrating marketing offers/leads with sales for execution in both B2B and B2C environments.”

“Delivering compelling, personalized experiences at every moment is the key to successful Customer Experience Management (CXM),” said Aseem Chandra, senior vice president, Strategic Marketing, Adobe Experience Cloud. “With Adobe Campaign and Marketo Engage, Adobe Experience Cloud is the clear choice for B2C and B2B marketers looking to excel in CXM, offering the unrivaled ability to plan, orchestrate and measure personalized customer experiences at scale.”
