Today’s Marketing Keynote managed to fit exciting announcements and incredible innovations into every minute. The future of Marketing Cloud (and yes, Account Engagement too!) is exceptionally bright. Generative AI features and Einstein advancements will be rolling out as soon as next month. Let’s break down what was announced, and what it means for Marketers moving forward.
Every Company Needs an AI Strategy, and Clean Data to Fuel It.
If the message from this week hasn’t been loud enough, or clear enough: AI isn’t a matter of if for your business, it’s when. Practitioners must know how to strategically leverage AI to meet customers’ ever-increasing expectations. Leveraging AI typically means starting with a prompt, using Natural Language Processing (NLP), to produce an output. More than likely, that first output won’t be perfect – and that’s where Marketers come in. By providing feedback, signals, context and meaning back to the AI, the output continues to improve.
- A key definition to know is grounding, or ensuring that the system understands and relates to real-world knowledge, data, and experiences. With grounding, AI understands the important context of how a human would perform the task.
Great Personalization at Scale Is Possible, With Einstein Copilot and Data Cloud.
Today, we got an inside look at what the Salesforce Marketing Labs team has been working on. They aim to infuse AI capabilities across platforms and products for Marketers. With Einstein CoPilot and Einstein for MC Personalization, identifying opportunities for campaigns is easier. Writing campaign briefs and creating content needed to support A/B testing en-masse is now achievable at unprecedented speed. With Einstein CoPilot, Marketers will be able to redefine the limits of creating personalized experiences, at scale. Which, remember, has never been more important to customers!
If the draw to Data Cloud hasn’t been strong enough for you yet, heres something new. The launch of Segment Intelligence should do it. The out-of-the-box Segment Intelligence dashboard for Data Cloud helps Marketers achieve their number one goal: proving marketing impact on company goals. View all of your critical marketing data across tactics, channels, segments alongside real-time revenue results. Then use those insights to identify optimized customer segments with the click of a button.

The last thing Salesforce EVP and GM of Marketing Cloud, Steve Hammond, shared today was the role that ecosystem partners play.
