What makes HubSpot different?
Marketing Hub – Campaign Builder_2x

Launch campaigns quickly

Use HubSpot’s Marketing Studio, Content Remix, and Breeze Agents to quickly plan, generate, and repurpose content across email, SMS, web, social, ads, podcast, video, and more using AI - all consistent with your brand voice. Plus, track milestones, collaborate across teams, and keep leadership in the loop with HubSpot projects and dashboards. Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Agentforce Campaigns, on the other hand, are more cumbersome, don’t support as many channels, and don’t include marketing project tracking natively.

Marketing Hub - Personalization Agent Suggestions

Deeply personalize experiences

Use Breeze to easily build, enrich, and activate segments using your marketing, CRM, web visitor, and external data with HubSpot Data Studio and Data Agent. Then, generate content variations by segment, analyze segment performance, and visualize customer journeys - all within HubSpot. With Salesforce, you need Marketing Cloud Next, Data Cloud, and Marketing Intelligence - all separate products - for similar functionality. Even then, Salesforce doesn’t offer tools like HubSpot Data Enrichment or Customer Journey Pathfinder natively.

Marketing Hub- Journey Report

Unify data & operations

HubSpot helps you manage the entire customer lifecycle from acquisition to retention across channels with powerful tools that work for customer- and account-based marketing. Plus, we’re innovating for emerging channels with built in tools for AI search optimization, podcast, video, social, and more. Salesforce, on the other hand, requires separate products and doesn’t support these emerging channels. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is designed for B2B. Marketing Cloud Engagement is a separate product product designed for B2C. And Marketing Cloud Next is yet another distinct product that is not yet ready to replace either.
