Marketing Cloud Intelligence

As a modern marketer, you communicate about your brand every day across different regions, channels, and campaigns. Throughout the customer journey, you’re engaging with audiences on a variety of platforms, including email, mobile, social, programmatic, search, web, CRM, e-commerce, and point of sale. You’re using a lot of different technologies to engage your customer in a personalized way. This can often lead to a disconnected customer journey. What you need is a single source of truth for all of your marketing and customer data—a centralized system of record where you can store and pull near real-time insights about your customers’ needs to help shape campaigns and optimize customer engagement. 

With Marketing Cloud Intelligence, you have this kind of connected transparency for your customers. You can use AI-powered insights, automate cross-channel reporting, and connect all of your marketing data in one place. Finally, you can create alerts, schedule, permission, and share dashboards with internal and external stakeholders, which enables information sharing and collaboration. Together, these provide the tools, time, and insight to optimize marketing campaigns, in near real time, while driving ROI and growth.
