With Campaign Studio, Customers can create emails, send personalized messages, build nurture campaigns, execute A/B tests, and measure results. Campaign Studio simplifies marketing automation and eliminates the need for dedicated, certified staff to execute Customer’s campaigns. As a result, marketing teams can launch campaigns in minutes, not days, leaving more time to focus on the important milestones.
Campaign Factory enables Customer to manage multiple Campaign Studio marketing automation accounts from a central location, helping to scale operations across Customer’s entire business. Campaign Factory empowers business units or brands with a separate marketing automation instance. It enables efficient delivery of Customer’s most valuable campaign elements across multiple teams or clients, while giving complete control and visibility.
Campaign Factory is an optional add-on product to Campaign Studio that enables customers to orchestrate multiple instances of Campaign Studio. Campaign Factory cannot be used without Campaign Studio instances.
