The journey from Marketo to Adobe Marketo Engage

Marketo was founded in 2006, and went public in 2013. It was acquired by Vista in 2016 for $1.8 billion, and then in 2018 Adobe Systems announced it was buying Marketo for $4.75 billion, in what was then one of the largest marketing technology acquisitions.

The purchase was part of Adobe’s evolution from being a creative software company to an enterprise marketing company, allowing it to compete with brands like Salesforce, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP.

Adobe renamed it Adobe Marketo Engage and integrated it within the Adobe ecosystem. It invested heavily in the product, including introducing integrations with other applications. Today, Adobe Marketo Engage is one of Adobe Experience Cloud’s key products.
