What is the easiest way for time zone-specific sending of batch campaigns?

I have my leads segmented in 7 different geographical regions.

Via other (smart) lists I select the required leads that should receive the email, but they still are scattered over the globe. It would be great to have an option saying "send out the email at 2:00 PM - in the time zone (or at least in the region) of the receiver".

Is there a simple way doing so, without having to clone the same batch campaign 6 times?

Diedert, the way I'd go around this is by setting up multiple campaigns for different time zones and use inferred country or region filters to define the audience for each time zone. It would certainly help to have that as a native feature!

Hi everyone

Micheline Farah from our organization has just written a blog post on how to send emails in a single engagement program at the desired time in each time zone - demandspring.com/blog/five-easy-steps-to-regionalizing-engagement-programs-in-marketo/

Hope it helps!

There was a good discussion that took place within this Idea:

There is also an Idea that was submitted back in 2012 that has received an incredible amount of votes/support:

Thanks, Dan. Apparently this is a much sought-after functionality that after a few years still is not on the roadmap of Marketo. I'll find a work-around for the time being. Regards!
