“The future of marketing is the customer journey,” said Scott McCorkle, CEO of Salesforce ExactTarget Marketing Cloud. “Marketers need to understand the complete journey people have with their brand, and how to measure and optimize its impact on their business. Marketers now have the ability to get a more complete view of their customers, identify where they are in the journey with their brand, optimize every point of interaction on that journey, and measure the impact of all customer communications.”
The new features will be made available in Q3 2015.
