In an effort to make paid search and social media advertising accessible to businesses of all sizes, Microsoft Advertising announced the pilot program for a single streamlined place to manage all of a business’s advertising campaigns. Interested parties can complete the online questionnaire to get early access.
For businesses just starting out with advertising, paid search marketers can enter the business URL and their advertising goals, and Microsoft will automatically create a campaign based on the website content. Before the campaign goes live, advertisers can review key elements like when ads are shown, suggested keywords, suggested budgets, and more.

Microsoft is souping up its CDP.
Advertisers using Microsoft’s year-old customer data platform – Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – to house their first-party data can now activate that data through the Microsoft Advertising platform, the company said Tuesday at its Business Applications Summit.
The first-party segments can also be used to reach audiences through Facebook Ads and Google Ads.
Microsoft Advertising houses two main assets. The first is the Microsoft Search Network, which sees 14.6 billion monthly searches globally across nearly 700 million unique users. The network now has roughly 14% of desktop search market share across the world and 37% of PC market share, which covers desktop and tablets, in the US.
