For those who don’t know me, I’m Tom Ryan, Founder and CEO of MarCloud Consulting. Recently, I hosted a Marketing Cloud webinar that demonstrated how to run your entire marketing approach via integrated Salesforce products. In essence, doing all your marketing through one comprehensive platform.
To clarify, by Salesforce products I mean Sales Cloud and Marketing Cloud, including Pardot aka Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (MCAE), and B2B Marketing Analytics. With these tools under your belt, you can support the complete customer journey. As proof, in the webinar, I showcased a full journey from MCAE, to Sales Cloud, to Marketing Cloud Advertising, to B2B Marketing Analytics.
If you missed the live webinar, you’re in luck. I recorded it to share with the world in this blog post. Here’s a breakdown of the video contents:
- Explaining the (confusing) Pardot and Marketing Cloud name changes
- Theory behind managing the customer journey and inbound marketing approach
- Campaigns, including things like hierarchy and how these tie in with Analytics
- Four demos:
- UTM parameters solution - for adding first and last touch tracking on prospect records in Sales Cloud
- Sales Cloud integration with MCAE (Pardot) - how sales teams can use features to the advantage of both marketing and sales
- MCAE to Marketing Cloud Advertising integration - how this can be used by sales teams to build advertising audiences for marketing campaigns
- Analytics - looking at the multi-touch attribution report and why it’s important
