Adobe Marketo Engage doesn't sit still. The platform has seen a consistent stream of updates in 2026, with improvements to its AI capabilities, new integrations with the broader Adobe Experience Cloud, and upgrades to its reporting and attribution tools. If you manage Marketo for your organisation and haven't done a recent review of what's new, you may be missing features that could make your team more productive.

This article covers the key Marketo Engage updates in 2026 — what changed, what it means for your day-to-day, and what to check in your account.

Adobe Firefly Integration

Adobe Firefly, Adobe's generative AI for creative assets, was integrated more deeply into Marketo Engage's email and landing page workflows in 2026. Marketers can now use Firefly directly within the Marketo Design Studio to generate image variations, produce background options for email headers, and create visual content without leaving the platform.

This is significant for teams that have been bottlenecked on creative production. Rather than submitting requests to a design team and waiting for turnaround, marketers can generate usable image options on their own, review them in context, and move to production faster. The images are generated from text prompts and can be customised in tone, style, and composition.

  • Generate email header images from text prompts inside Marketo
  • Create landing page background variations without external tools
  • Produce multiple image options quickly for A/B testing
  • Content generated under commercial use terms via Adobe Firefly

Marketo Measure Attribution Updates

Marketo Measure (the revenue attribution platform formerly called Bizible) received updates to its AI-driven attribution models in 2026. The changes focus on three areas: improved accuracy for longer sales cycles, better handling of offline touchpoints, and expanded integration with Adobe Analytics.

The longer-cycle improvement matters for enterprise B2B teams where deals can span 6 to 18 months. Attribution models that treat each deal independently often underweight early-stage touchpoints. The updated model is better at accounting for the full journey across extended timelines.

"Accurate revenue attribution is one of the most valuable things a marketing team can produce — it converts every conversation about budget from opinion to evidence."

The offline touchpoint update is relevant for teams where events, direct mail, and phone outreach are part of the mix. Marketo Measure can now ingest these interactions more cleanly and include them in multi-touch attribution models alongside digital touchpoints.

Dynamic Chat Improvements

Dynamic Chat, Marketo's conversational marketing tool, expanded its AI capabilities in 2026. The chatbot can now be configured to handle more complex multi-turn conversations using generative AI, drawing on your content library to answer prospect questions without requiring every response to be pre-scripted.

Previously, Dynamic Chat required explicit scripting for each conversation flow. The 2026 update adds a generative response layer: when a prospect asks a question that doesn't match a scripted flow, the AI draws from your connected knowledge base and generates a contextual answer. This is opt-in and configurable — you define the knowledge sources the AI can use — but it significantly reduces the scripting overhead for teams deploying Dynamic Chat at scale.

Updated Email and Landing Page Editor

Marketo Engage received incremental editor improvements in 2026, including better mobile preview tools, improved tokenisation for personalisation variables, and expanded module library options in the template editor. The changes are evolutionary rather than revolutionary, but they address long-standing usability gaps that marketing operations teams have flagged.

The mobile preview update is particularly useful for teams running high-volume email programs. Mobile opens now account for the majority of B2B email engagement in many industries, and having accurate preview capability without leaving the editor reduces QA time meaningfully.

What to Review in Your Marketo Instance

If you're a current Marketo Engage user, here's where to look to make sure you're using the new capabilities.

  • Adobe Firefly: Look in Design Studio for the AI image generation option. It may require an Adobe ID connected to your Firefly account to activate.
  • Marketo Measure: Review your attribution model settings in the Marketo Measure dashboard. Check whether the longer-cycle model updates have been applied to your account and whether offline touchpoints are configured correctly.
  • Dynamic Chat: If you've deployed Dynamic Chat, check the generative AI response settings in your Dynamic Chat admin panel. Enable it for specific conversation flows where scripted responses are limited.
  • Email editor: Check the mobile preview mode in your email editor — the updated preview should be available for new and existing templates.
