Determine Which Contact Model Works Best

Cumulus Bank and Financial Services are an international company with a full audience of nearly 10 million contacts shared across 10 countries and five operating units. Although the company is new to Marketing Cloud Engagement, they have a large team that plans to build moderately sophisticated journeys over the next year. They estimate that they’ll need approximately 150 attributes in the data foundation within Engagement to satisfy all potential campaigns over the next year.
