What defines the target audience for a smart campaign in Marketo?

The target audience for a smart campaign in Marketo is defined by filters and triggers. Filters are conditions that help segment the audience based on specific criteria, such as behavior, engagement, or attributes of the leads. Triggers, on the other hand, activate actions within the smart campaign based on particular events that occur, such as a lead filling out a form or clicking on a link in an email. By using these filters and triggers, marketers can effectively identify and engage the right audience for their campaign initiatives, ensuring that the messaging is relevant and timely.

In this context, while demographic analysis, geographic location, and content preference might inform a broader marketing strategy or help in understanding customer personas, they do not specifically define how a smart campaign targets its audience. Filters and triggers are what allow for dynamic, real-time marketing efforts that can adapt to lead behaviors, making them essential for targeting in Marketo smart campaigns.
