What's Orchestrated campaigns ?

Campaign Orchestration is a newly released module of Journey Optimizer that supports single-step or multi-step workflows that leverage the Relational Datastore to build and segment audiences for the purpose of batch engagement.

It brings a new type of campaigns to Journey Optimizer and help brands run complex, one-to-many marketing campaigns at scale. They are designed for brand-initiated engagement, such as promotions, seasonal campaigns, or account-based communications.

Compared with single-send/action campaigns, they bring orchestration and sequencing to outbound marketing: audiences move through a multi-step workflow together, rather than receiving a one-off blast.

In this blog, we are going to compare Orchestrated Campaigns and understand how it complement traditional Journeys or Campaign in Adobe Journey Optimizer.

Note: This is recently launched module and Adobe has an aggressive roadmap to improve the Campaign Orchestration and address the current limitations. This comparison analysis was performed in Dec 2025.
