Marketing Agent

Marketing Agent that automates marketing workflows using your data and tools.

The challenge

A campaign brief turns into weeks of drafting, resizing and localising before anything ships, so only one or two variants are ever tested. Claims drift from what legal approved, brand review sends work back late, and the message that actually won is rarely fed into the next campaign.

The outcome

Azure AI Search grounds the copy in approved brand guidelines and proof points, Azure OpenAI generates channel-native variants and localisations, and Azure AI Content Safety enforces claim and accessibility rules. A marketer approves before anything publishes, and the winning variant feeds back into the playbook.

Build This Solution

01 — Architecture

End-to-end architecture

A brief and the brand system are loaded from SharePoint and the creative library, grounded against approved proof points, and turned into channel-native variants by the Foundry agent. Content Safety enforces brand, claim and accessibility rules before a named marketer approves and the campaign is scheduled.

02 — Workflow

Process & decision workflow

How a brief becomes measured campaign output — ground, draft, adapt, check and measure, then branch. On-brand, cleared variants schedule and publish with a holdout for testing, while a new or regulated claim goes to a marketer and legal with the source evidence attached.

04 — AI

What the agent consumes

The capabilities the agent applies to every campaign, and the line it does not cross.

AI capabilities embedded in the agent

  • Audience segmentation
  • Brief interpretation
  • Retrieval-augmented generation
  • Brand-voice adherence
  • Multivariate copy generation
  • Localisation
  • Claim verification
  • Accessibility checks
  • Image and asset tagging
  • Test design
  • Performance attribution
  • Workflow orchestration

AI responsibility boundaries

The agent drafts and adapts; a named marketer approves anything published and legal reviews every new or regulated claim. It uses only approved proof points and brand assets, never invents statistics or customer quotes, and respects consent, opt-out and advertising rules on every channel.

05 — Personalization

Personalization & evolving process

The same methodology applies to every agent in the catalog. Tune the audience, the campaign template, the brand rules and the value model — the page structure stays identical.

Audience & brand profile

Define the segments, regions, languages, tone of voice, brand system and regulated categories in scope. The personas are the campaign marketer, the brand owner, legal review and the performance analyst.

06 — Impact

Key outcomes & business impact

Starting targets for the value case — validate each one against the customer baseline during discovery.

  • Time to campaign−60%A grounded first draft exists the day the brief lands.
  • Variant coverageMore channel and audience variants tested per campaign.
  • Brand rework−50%Guardrails catch off-brand and unproven claims before review.
  • Claim traceability100%Every proof point links to its approved source.
