Salesforce Marketing Cloud as we know it is no more, with several new product name changes. Salesforce has been ranked the number one CRM for the 9th year running by the International Data Corporation and is the leader in advanced marketing technology across the globe.
The entire suite of products has included many different tools for many different business needs, further divided by application for B2C and B2B customers. With the acquisition of a new software came more integration, rebranding, and reconnecting with other products. This year, Salesforce took a major step in simplifying, strategizing, and streamlining the selection process for businesses.
In this latest article in our What’s New in Salesforce? series, we explore the changes and updates to the Salesforce Marketing Cloud suite of products.

Related to Salesforce’s April 2022 announcement for the next generation of Marketing Cloud, MC Easy, this initiative brings all the Salesforce Marketing products together under one umbrella. The goal is to make the suite of products less segmented, thereby helping organizations choose the right marketing tool with their partners based on their needs.
Through all these changes, some greater than others, most functionalities remain the same. Packaging and pricing will remain the same as will the features within the products.
