Salesforce today announced that new marketing features are now available in Starter Suite and Pro Suite in Latin America and Europe. The company also announced that Marketing Cloud Growth is now available in those regions. These innovations enable growing businesses to unlock, unify, and take action with their data by using Agentforce to engage customers on their terms.
The new marketing features in Starter Suite and Pro Suite that enable growing customers to create personalized email marketing campaigns from within their Salesforce CRM. Marketing Cloud Growth, a new edition of Marketing Cloud helps growing businesses connect marketing automation with sales, service, and commerce.
All of these innovations are built on the Salesforce Platform and Data Cloud, which unlocks and unifies a company’s data, giving every marketer a 360-degree view of the customer to drive automation and analytics, personalize engagement, and power trusted AI agents.
Why it’s Relevant: 73% of customers expect better personalization as technology advances, yet fewer than six in 10 marketers can fully personalize familiar channels such as email (54%) and mobile messaging (57%). AI is here to help, but most businesses struggle to build the trusted data foundation they need to deliver to create consistent, personalized experiences across customer journeys, and only 31% of marketers overall are fully satisfied with their ability to unify customer data sources.
Zoom in: These new marketing solutions are built on the Salesforce Platform and are grounded in unified customer data and metadata through Data Cloud. This enables growth customers to unlock their trapped customer data and deliver more personalized interactions with autonomous AI agents across sales, service, commerce, and marketing functions.
