Why Salesforce Marketing Intelligence Matters More Than Ever

Marketers aren’t short on data—they’re buried in decisions.

With every platform, channel, and touchpoint generating its own metrics, the challenge isn’t access—it’s clarity. From websites and search to email, ads, and social, the noise has never been louder. And cutting through it to make the right move? The right decisions? That’s the hard part.

Not much has changed—except the urgency. Without a unified, intelligent approach to marketing data, businesses will keep running into the same problems:

• Disjointed data from multiple sources
• Lack of near-time visibility into performance
• Wasted ad spend on low-performing campaigns
• Inability to measure true marketing ROI and attribution

This is exactly why Marketing Intelligence is not just relevant—it’s essential.
