Salesforce Marketing Cloud Administrator case studies
Salesforce Marketing Cloud Administrator · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Engagement Administrator credential is designed for practitioners who configure Marketing Cloud Engagement day to day. Salesforce describes these administrators as having hands-on experience configuring Marketing Cloud products by utilizing industry best practices, and as people who understand the data structure involved in subscriber data management and can thoroughly navigate setup. In other words, it is not an entry-level badge for someone who has only read about the platform - it rewards administrators who have actually built data models, connected channels, and kept an account organized. The exam is delivered in multiple-choice format and is organized around the administrator's core working areas: setup, subscriber data management, channel setup, and administration. The Salesforce Marketing Cloud Administrator case studies are 5 cases and about 2,351 words.
