Quickstart Marketing Cloud Next Setup

1. Writes a phased plan before building. The plan covers Marketing Cloud Next enablement, the Data 360 foundation, identity resolution, the email channel, user permissions, a third-party package install and verification.
2. Enables the needed products and assigns permission sets phase by phase.
3. Fixes permission problems that block setup. In one case it fixed a Data 360 connector permission bug that was stopping Marketing Data Kit deployment.
4. Deploys Marketing Cloud Next data kits, loads synthetic records, and builds unified profiles and segments.
5. Creates sample campaigns, flows, CMS content and landing pages. In one case it also drafted a journey in Marketing Cloud Engagement.
6. Verifies licensing for related products, such as Feedback Management.

Identity Resolution comes up most often in this work, followed by Distributed Marketing. Next: Configure Marketing Cloud Next.
