MARKETING
Core Cloud

One customer journey, every channel, in real time.

We implement Marketing Cloud Engagement, Account Engagement (Pardot), Personalization and Marketing Cloud Growth — orchestrated on top of Data Cloud for true 1:1 activation.

(01) What it is

What Salesforce offers on Marketing Cloud.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a suite covering Marketing Cloud Engagement (Journey Builder, Email, Mobile, Automation Studio), Account Engagement (Pardot) for B2B, Personalization for real-time web/app experiences, Marketing Cloud Intelligence (Datorama) for analytics, Loyalty Management, and the newer Marketing Cloud Growth and Advanced editions built natively on the core platform and Data Cloud.

(02) Why now

What we hear from Marketing Cloud leaders.

  • 01Pardot, Marketing Cloud Engagement and Personalization run as silos — no shared identity, duplicate sends, wasted spend.
  • 02Marketing Cloud Growth / Advanced on Data Cloud is on the roadmap but no one owns the migration plan.
  • 03Attribution and campaign ROI live in spreadsheets, not Marketing Cloud Intelligence — the CMO can't defend the budget.

(03) Key challenges

Where Marketing Cloud programmes get stuck.

01

Marketing Cloud Engagement, Pardot and Personalization run as silos with duplicate audiences and no shared identity.

02

SQL-heavy Automation Studio scripts and legacy Journey Builder flows are fragile and undocumented.

03

Migration path to Marketing Cloud Growth / Advanced on Data Cloud is unclear.

04

Attribution and campaign ROI are stitched together in spreadsheets rather than Marketing Cloud Intelligence.

(04) Automation & AI areas we deliver

(08) Editions & licensing

Which edition fits.

  • Marketing Cloud Growth

    New-generation edition on the core platform + Data Cloud — best for mid-market B2C/B2B.

  • Marketing Cloud Advanced

    Adds advanced journeys, Einstein and Data Cloud entitlements for enterprise programmes.

  • MC Engagement / Pardot

    Legacy but still widely deployed — use when Journey Builder scale or B2B nurture depth is essential.

(09) Migration paths

Legacy → target state.

  • 01MC Engagement + Pardot silos → Marketing Cloud Growth / Advanced on Data Cloud.
  • 02Braze / Klaviyo / Adobe Campaign → Marketing Cloud with journey and template migration.
  • 03Legacy Datorama dashboards → Marketing Cloud Intelligence on the current data model.
