Marketing Cloud Next: website, LinkedIn, AppExchange

I am now a Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Next Consultant, earned in the first window the exam was offered. I want to explain why I sat for it that early, because I think it matters more than a badge on a profile. Marketing Cloud Next is not a version bump on Marketing Cloud Engagement. It is rebuilt on Data Cloud. Your marketing data stops living in data extensions inside Marketing Cloud and starts living on the same unified customer profile as Sales, Service and Agentforce. That one architectural change is the whole story. It also means a lot of organizations sitting on years of MCE investment are about to be advised by people who learned the platform the same week they did. I have spent 25 years in this ecosystem. I know what MCE actually does in production: the journeys, the data extensions, the automations nobody ever documented. Now I am certified on what comes after it. And the honest advice is usually not "migrate everything now." It is a sequence. Get the Data Cloud foundation right. Keep MCE running what it runs well. Move deliberately, and only where the work earns it. If you own Marketing Cloud Engagement and nobody has given you a straight answer about what happens next, I am glad to talk it through. No pitch. #Salesforce #MarketingCloud #DataCloud #MarketingCloudNext #Agentforce

Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Next Consultant, in the first window the exam was offered. Here is the part that matters: MC Next is not a new version of Marketing Cloud Engagement. It is rebuilt on Data Cloud. Your marketing data moves onto the same unified customer profile as Sales, Service and Agentforce. Which means the sequencing question is not "when do we migrate." It is "is our data foundation ready for any of this." 25 years in the ecosystem, certified on both sides of that line. If you own MCE and have not been given a straight answer about what happens next, my inbox is open. #Salesforce #MarketingCloud #DataCloud #MarketingCloudNext

Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Next Consultant | Data Cloud & Marketing Cloud Architect | 16x Certified, 25+ Years | Founder, Seas The Cloud

I take organizations from Marketing Cloud Engagement to Marketing Cloud Next, and I build the Data Cloud foundation that makes either one worth having. 25 years in the Salesforce ecosystem. 16 certifications, including Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Next Consultant, which I sat for in the first window the exam was offered. Most of what companies call a marketing problem is a data problem wearing a costume. Duplicate contacts. Systems that disagree. One customer living as four records in four places. So I work in a specific order, and the order is the point: Data Cloud first. Every system resolved into one customer profile you can actually trust. Marketing Cloud second. Engagement built on that profile, and a clear read on where MC Next fits. Agentforce third. AI agents grounded in the same data, so they answer from your real customer history instead of guessing. I run Seas The Cloud, a female-owned consultancy in Palm Beach, Florida. It is deliberately small and deliberately senior. There is no bench of juniors learning on your budget, and the person you meet on the first call is the person doing the work. I will also tell you when the answer is "not yet." For most organizations looking at MC Next right now, that is the honest answer, and the firms who will not say it out loud are the ones to be careful of. Enterprise-proven, from independent physician practices to Labcorp. If you own Marketing Cloud and nobody has explained what happens next, that is exactly the conversation I like having.
