Overview of Dynamics 365 for Marketing October ’18 release
Dynamics 365 for Marketing delivers comprehensive capabilities for creating and running multi-channel campaigns which will generate leads. With Dynamics 365 you can turn prospects into business relationships- move beyond email marketing and connect sales, automate processes, and make smarter decisions to maximise your revenue.
The October ’18 release has new capabilities such as account-based marketing and deeper integration with LinkedIn. The app will also support more languages and be available in more areas, allowing you to utilize Dynamics 365 wherever you are based.
The key areas of investment are designed to help you optimize marketing:
- Integrated intelligence in the marketing app means you can create custom dashboards from Power BI. These analytics can be combined with social listening, which keeps track of your brand mentions on social media, to provide a comprehensive picture of your campaigns allowing you to evaluate their success.
- Personalized marketing experiences will be available, which helps close more deals as specific accounts (that are more likely to produce revenue) are targeted.
- Content management is supported at block level, with role-based editing privileges. The new calendar feature provides a quick overview of scheduled events to help your team plan better.
- Deeper integration with external Microsoft services like LinkedIn
