What is Salesforce Marketing Cloud?

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a comprehensive digital marketing platform that enables businesses to deliver personalized customer experiences across multiple channels, including email, mobile, social media, advertising, and web. Originally known as ExactTarget, it integrates seamlessly with Salesforce CRM and other clouds, providing studios for content management (e.g., Email Studio, Mobile Studio) and builders for automation (e.g., Journey Builder, Contact Builder). Powered by AI through Einstein and Data Cloud, it unifies customer data from various sources to create rich profiles, predict behaviors, and automate hyper-personalized campaigns.

It is designed for marketers in B2B and B2C organizations, from small businesses to enterprises, seeking to align marketing with sales, optimize cross-channel strategies, and drive revenue growth. Key tools like Marketing Cloud Engagement, Personalization, Account Engagement, and Loyalty Management support everything from lead nurturing to loyalty programs.

Its value lies in transforming one-way campaigns into two-way conversations, leveraging real-time analytics, A/B testing, and agentic AI (Agentforce) for higher engagement, ROI, and customer loyalty. By providing a single view of performance and predictive insights, it empowers data-driven decisions and scalable personalization at every touchpoint.
