Check out the NEW A to Z of Real-time Marketing series!
I’ve long been a fan of marketing applications. I like the balance of order and creativity, of analysis and assessment. Dynamics 365 Marketing has changed and improved drastically within the past few years, making it one of the strongest options available, especially for customers already using other aspects of Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service etc.).
I thought it would be fun to do a video series covering the A to Z of D365 Marketing. One feature for each letter of the alphabet. I’ll update this page with each new video, which will start on Monday, April 5th 2021 and end on Friday, April 30th 2021.
