Marketing Cloud Growth Extends The Platform
Today, Salesforce unveiled Marketing Cloud Growth, a new edition tailored for small businesses to drive efficient growth through CRM, AI, and data integration. Marketing Cloud Growth integrates marketing automation with sales, service, and commerce functionalities on Salesforce’s trusted customer platform, Einstein. Furthermore, Salesforce announced that marketers can leverage Data Cloud at no cost, enabling them to access trusted first-party data crucial for AI-driven, personalized customer experiences.
Why it matters: Studies show that 51% of marketers use generative AI to streamline tasks like content creation, copywriting, and market data analysis. However, without high-quality first-party data, AI-generated content lacks the accuracy necessary for businesses to trust and utilize it effectively. AI has significant potential to benefit small businesses, which spend nearly 11 hours per week drafting emails—time that could be saved through AI-driven automation for content creation, personalization, and optimized customer communication timing.
By consolidating CRM, AI, and data within a unified platform, these innovations empower businesses to deliver compelling, interconnected customer experiences.
Steve Hammond, EVP and GM, Marketing Cloud, Salesforce perspective: “Marketers want to leverage AI to fuel creativity, drive efficiency, and grow their business, but often lack the necessary data for accurate, trustworthy results. By consolidating CRM, AI, and data within a single platform, these innovations empower businesses to deliver the compelling connected experiences customers expect.”
With Marketing Cloud Growth, small businesses gain access to Data Cloud and generative AI directly within their workflow, integrating multi-channel marketing with sales, service, and commerce on a single platform. New customers can easily start leveraging data and generative AI to:
