In today’s digital world, advertising is more complex than ever before, and marketers can be intimidated when figuring out where to start. The sheer number of channels and platforms can be overwhelming, and the competition for consumer attention is fierce. To navigate this landscape effectively, marketers need first and foremost to justify their spending to acquire the tool that will help them to launch campaigns efficiently, second how they will monitor the success of their campaigns, and third decide if it’s a tool that matches their marketing strategies in the long term.

As a part of the Salesforce Marketing Cloud suite, Advertising Studio offers a powerful set of capabilities that can help marketers manage and optimise their advertising campaigns across different channels, including social media, display, and email. This is important because it helps businesses reach their customers in the right context and via their favourite platforms including FaceBook, Google, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, and Snapchat.

In this article, we’ll explore what Salesforce Advertising Studio can do and provide some best practices to help you get the most out of this powerful tool.

Salesforce Advertising Studio Capabilities

Salesforce Advertising Studio provides a range of capabilities that can help marketers achieve their advertising goals, including:

Advertising Campaign Management:

With Advertising Studio, marketers can create and manage advertising campaigns across multiple channels, including social media, display, and email. Advertising Studio allows them to execute their campaigns from a single platform and monitor their performance in real-time. With Journey Builder, marketers have a centralised conversation track of their campaigns in the platform, regardless of channel, making use of the customer’s first-party data, partner data, or both when creating audiences to target.

Audience Segmentation:

Advertising Studio offers powerful audience segmentation capabilities that can help businesses target their advertising campaigns to specific groups of customers. This includes the ability to make audiences that look alike. Lookalike audiences find new customers who are like your current customers in some way. This approach is called “lookalike audience” because this new target looks like your current customers. Lookalike audiences can be similar to your customer base in many ways, such as demographics, geography, personality, and so on. Also, getting rid of duplicates. The best way to fight back against sending targeted messages to existing customers is to leave them out of your acquisition campaigns. Advertising Audience gets rid of this overlap, so you don’t keep wasting money on ads that target people who have already bought from you.

Advertising Studio & Journey Builder:

Advertising Studio integrates Ad Audience or Ad Campaign in your journey to create a custom audience for your automated or lifecycle campaign.

Note: Ad campaign works only with FaceBook

Advertising Studio & FaceBook Lead Ads:

Advertising Studio captures filled-out Lead Ads directly in a SFMC Data Extension for use in an Automation, Journey, or Email Campaign.
