Data quality is everything.
Takeaway:

1. Capture data
2. Model data
34

Data Modeling: how do we store information about marketing
interactions?

With Marketo:
Separate Offers
and Channels.
36

With Bizible:
Offer and
channel both
attributes of
a touchpoint.

Easily analyze offer/channel relationships out-of-the-box.

Problem: Form URL is not friendly. No offer metadata.

Solution: Enrich the touchpoint with more metadata.

Overview: Connect the touchpoint with a campaign
representing the offer.
Touchpoint
● Form URL
● Offer Campaign
Lookup
Offer
Campaign
● Offer Name
● Offer Type
● Format
● Audience
● Persona
● Etc.
Offer URL
● Form URL
● Offer Campaign
Lookup
● Lookup Form URL in Offer URL object
● Populate Campaign lookup on Touchpoint

Step 1: Campaign stores metadata for each offer.

Step 2: Junction object associates a form URL with
campaign.

Step 3: Flow looks up the Form URL from the Touchpoint and
identifies the matching campaign, then connects the Touchpoint.

Step 4: Use formula fields to pull any metadata required
from Campaign to Touchpoint.
Add whatever offer metadata you please!
