What is a marketing scenario?
First, let's make it clear what we're talking about. Marketing scenarios can be anything of (but not limited to) the following:- Content personalization
- A/B testing
- Marketing automation (such as newsletters)
- Ads and social media integration
- Content analysis
Personalization
Personalization helps you avoid irrelevant communication and unifies the customer journey. It's a complex task for which we use a marketing automation tool Pardot to collect and aggregate customer data.

A/B testing
A/B testing is an excellent method to evaluate personalization, for instance. Or just to test the best approach to target your audience and drive the best conversions. Kontent.ai is a headless CMS, so it doesn't come with its own A/B testing functionality. But thanks to the microservice architecture, you can connect it with the best-of-breed A/B testing tools and get way more accurate results than with traditional CMSs that offer this functionality out of the box. A/B testing is one of the topics tied to content modeling less closely, but it still requires adjustments in your app. To get started with A/B testing, you always need to know what you're going to test – be it different versions of a submission form or different kinds of voice and tone, for instance. As for the tools, we at Kontent.ai mainly use Google Optimize. It serves to analyze which version of your content performs better. And, based on the results, you can then optimize your app.
