Marketo June ’19 release notes are here, emphasizing Marketo’s further integration in the Adobe Cloud family. In addition to giving marketers access to Creative Cloud tools within Marketo, the announcement highlights the company’s efforts to sunset Email 1.0 and transition customers to Email 2.0 by June 1.
