New year, new credential! Salesforce has today announced the new Salesforce Certified Marketing Associate. This brand new certification allows marketers to prepare for a career in Salesforce marketing and demonstrate their understanding of the platform.
The existing Marketing Cloud credentials are all at a fairly advanced level and require a lot of study and experience to gain. This can be a real barrier for marketers just looking to start their careers. In recent years, we’ve seen a real push from Salesforce to make the job market more accessible with Associate credentials. This new one follows the Salesforce Associate and AI Associate credentials. The Salesforce Marketing Associate certification validates foundational marketing knowledge, including what Marketing Cloud Engagement is and how it solves business needs based on Salesforce best practices.
