About

Enterprise marketing analytics platform embedded within Salesforce Marketing Cloud, leveraging Salesforce's dominant CRM ecosystem for distribution

Marketing Cloud Intelligence is a powerful marketing analytics platform that brings marketing data from different sources into a single environment, where it is standardized and organized for easier analysis. The technology originated with Datorama, a marketing analytics company acquired by Salesforce in 2018, after which Salesforce integrated it into its marketing ecosystem and rebranded it Marketing Cloud Intelligence. The platform connects over 170 data sources — including Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, Salesforce CRM, Google Analytics, and Snowflake — into a unified data model, and includes pre-built dashboards for paid media performance, email engagement, and multi-touch attribution, as well as AI-powered anomaly detection and custom visualization tools. Its pre-built API connectors span demand-side platforms such as Google Display and Video 360 and Amazon DSP, paid search channels including Google Ads and Bing Ads, paid social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and TikTok, as well as eCommerce and marketing automation platforms. Marketing teams use the platform to answer questions about where spend is going, what is working by channel, campaign, audience, and creative, and how marketing activity impacts pipeline, bookings, and lifetime value.
