Earlier this year we did a piece which explored what Marketing Cloud Growth is and who it was for. In a nutshell Marketing Cloud Growth is the the latest marketing automation product by Salesforce. If you have worked with Salesforce for a while then you’ll know that this is the latest marketing offering. So how does it compare?
Currently, Marketing Cloud Growth is targeted towards smaller B2B customers only, so really it’s mainly comparable to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (Pardot).
In the Summer ’24 Release, Salesforce announced that Account Engagement Growth customers in the AMER region could get access to Marketing Cloud Growth for no extra cost. Hinting that this might be available for other regions and customers in the future.
