What makes HubSpot different?
Marketing Hub – Campaign Builder_2x

Launch campaigns quickly

Plan, launch, and iterate on full-funnel marketing campaigns fast with HubSpot’s Marketing Studio, Content Remix, and Breeze Agents. Easily generate and repurpose content across email, SMS, web, social, ads, podcast, video, and more using AI - all consistent with your brand voice. Salesforce Marketing Cloud Engagement, on the other hand, is primarily focused primarily on mobile messaging (email, SMS, and push notifications). It does not include marketing channels like social, ads, or messaging. And Agentforce Campaigns are more limited and are built on a separate product.

 

Marketing Hub - Personalization Agent Suggestions

Personalize with ease

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, Personalization, 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.

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 Engagement is designed for B2C. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is a separate product designed for B2B. And Marketing Cloud Next is yet another distinct product that is not yet ready to replace either.
