How Do Agents Generate Campaign Briefs in Marketing Cloud Next?
Accelerate go-to-market with AI-generated campaign briefs that align audiences, offers, channels, and compliance—directly inside Marketing Cloud Next. Standardize inputs, reduce draft time, and hand off briefs to creative, ops, and sales with confidence.
In Marketing Cloud Next, agents generate campaign briefs by collecting structured inputs (business goal, offer, audience, channels, constraints), retrieving context from CRM and content libraries, and composing a governed outline—objectives, hypotheses, segments, message map, journeys, assets, timeline, KPIs, and compliance notes. The brief is exported to tasks and journeys, enabling creative production and activation with traceable owners and metrics.

Define → Discover → Draft → Validate → Package → Handoff → Launch & Learn
- Define inputs: Business goal, product/offer, budget, timeline, KPIs, constraints.
- Discover context: Pull audience, past performance, approved assets, and disclosure rules from Salesforce & libraries.
- Draft the brief: Agent assembles objectives, segments, messaging, channel plan, journey sketch, asset list, and test plan.
- Validate: Auto-check naming, UTM/taxonomy, consent flags, suppression lists, legal copy, and data minimization.
- Package: Generate a shareable doc plus checklists, tasks, and a starter journey canvas.
- Handoff: Create work items for creative, ops, web, and sales enablement with owners and SLAs.
- Launch & learn: Publish, monitor KPIs, log learnings; agent proposes next experiments.
