Adobe Experience Manager and Adobe Campaign: An Integration to Remember
Discover How Integrating AEM with Adobe Campaign can Enhance your Omni-Channel Marketing Practice
As an Adobe partner, we at Munvo recognize that content creation lies at the core of any productive marketing strategy, activity, or cross-channel initiative. While businesses often use their campaign management applications separately from content management tools, a simple integration between Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) and Adobe Campaign can substantially improve their overarching marketing operations.
In fact, this combination of Adobe products can help your company deploy consistent and highly personalized omni-channel experiences tailored and targeted to consumers across all industries. It’s no wonder that Adobe once likened AEM and Adobe Campaign’s compatibility to mixing chocolate with peanut butter.
In light of Adobe’s adaptable technologies, this article will draw from Munvo’s Adobe expertise to highlight the different ways that you can use Adobe Experience Manager with Adobe Campaign to better streamline content creation processes and accelerate campaign time to market.
Find out How Adobe AEM and Adobe Campaign Integrations Can Improve your Marketing Operations:
Maintain Consistent Practices
Time and time again, we have seen Munvo’s clients benefit from the integration of Adobe Experience Manager and Adobe Campaign. Underlying this success remains the capacity to create, deploy, and manage content that is both clear and consistent. By leveraging AEM’s email templates and drag-and-drop capabilities, in conjunction with Adobe Campaign’s personalization variables, you can optimize your marketing practice to create compelling email journeys.
This integration serves to help your business capitalize on easy wins through the real-time synchronization of various Adobe tools and applications, such as advanced data and charting through AEM Forms’ Interactive Communications.
Keep Customers Interested through Personalized Digital Experiences
It’s no secret that real-time personalization is crucial for getting contemporary consumers to pay attention to – let alone engage with – your business’ marketing materials. In the ongoing pursuit of effective customer relevancy, marketers are under increasing pressure to manage an unprecedented volume of complex campaigns, each with a wide range of personalization options.
By combining Adobe tools, you can facilitate the deployment of advanced omnichannel experiences at scale. Not only does this interactive use of AEM and Adobe Campaign give users access to new personalization features that would otherwise be unavailable, together they can guide marketers to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of real-time personalization
Deploy Campaigns Quickly and Efficiently
We’ve all heard the saying “time is money,” as well as the more assertive marketing mantra “to create three times the amount of content in twice less the amount of time.” An integration between Adobe Experience Manager and Adobe Campaign can increase the velocity of just about any campaign’s time to market. By harnessing the Digital Asset Manager tool from AEM to host image/video assets from Adobe Campaign, you can take advantage of flexible drag-and-drop functionalities. In particular, the combination of AEM’s Digital Asset Manager with Adobe Campaign prompts the use and creation of templates that lock in the structure of your email, and so, better enable their drag-and-drop capabilities.
You can also utilize the powerful publishing and approval workflows to augment delivery time. These workflows in AEM ensure that content is fully approved before it gets pushed out to customers. In other words, you’ll have the capacity to deliver approved messages first authored in AEM directly via Adobe Campaign. By integrating the two, you can optimize the process of developing and disseminating [1]
Take Preventative Measures to Avoid Potential Errors
It’s time to minimize your manual mistakes. The rate and reoccurrence of human error is entirely manageable thanks to Adobe Experience Manager’s integration with Adobe Campaign. With AEM’s integration, you’ll have access to all the Adobe Campaign tools, assets, and pre-built templates necessary to compose personalized email messages without discrepancies. User data is, essentially, pre-populated to facilitate form submission, so that you and your creative team won’t actually need to learn how to use Adobe Campaign to develop highly personalized emails.
Thanks to the AEM and AC integration, businesses have reported a substantial drop in errors from 3-10 per week (approx. 16 hours of weekly reconciliation and rebuild time) to only 1 error every two weeks (less than 1.5 weekly hours to recuperate and rectify issues).[2] After all, error prevention is the key to expediting effective marketing materials to consumers.
Deliberate and Divide Tasks for Strategic Teamwork
Although collaborative campaigns can get chaotic due to versioning, quality control, and operational task division, the integration of Adobe Experience Manager and Adobe Campaign enables colleagues to work together in perfect harmony. Your creative and marketing teams will be equipped to consolidate data from different systems, and ultimately, unify and personalize your company’s website, emails, and marketing materials.
This integration then allows for efficient metadata storage, handle versioning, and image resizing in response to various devices. It also simplifies the process of transferring content directly from Adobe Campaign to AEM without a hassle, while reusing AEM assets without the necessity of copying files from one system to another.
