Pardot – Marketing Cloud Account Engagement

Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (formerly known as Pardot) is a Salesforce product that helps B2B marketers improve conversion rates, deliver qualified leads and automate their marketing and sales processes.

Creating meaningful connections with prospective and existing clients plays a critical role in any B2B organisation’s marketing efforts.

    With 9 out of 10 B2B buyers stating that online content has a significant influence on their decisions, marketers need to craft dynamic messaging, personalisation and relevant conversations that cut through the noise, and ultimately fill their pipeline with high-quality leads that will convert.

    When you’re able to truly understand the success and effectiveness of your marketing and communications, you can gain invaluable insight into user behaviour, and get your message in front of the right buyers, in the right place, at the right time.

    In April 2022 Salesforce announced Pardot’s name was changing to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (MCAE). This is part of their ‘Salesforce Easy’ innovation goal. You can find out more about it here. We use both Pardot and MCAE interchangeably here.
