Become an Adobe Digital Marketing Expert this April

This article was originally posted at https://blogs.perficient.com/2020/04/15/become-an-adobe-digital-marketing-expert-this-april/

In my previous post, Locked Down? Learn AEM in April, I talked about how PluralSight's #FreeApril program gives you access to great training on Adobe Experience Manager.

For those of us also working with more than Content Management, #FreeApril provides some great training for you too! PluralSight has great courses on Adobe Analytics and Target for you to build expertise on these powerful solutions. Unfortunately, there's not a Pluralsight track on Launch, by Adobe so I pulled from the great free training Adobe has published on YouTube for this integral Tag Management solution.

Getting a Sandbox

To use Analytics and Target you will need a Sandbox or non-Production instance. If your organization already has Adobe, reach out to whomever manages the access to the Adobe Experience Cloud, if not, you can request a copy from Adobe.
