New features of Google Marketing Platform

Starting July 24, 2018, the DoubleClick and Google Analytics 360 Suite brands have been replaced with Google Marketing Platform. As a current user of these products, you immediately have access to Google Marketing Platform, including:

• New product branding. Across the product interfaces, help centers, trainings, and other materials, you’ll see the new names and logos for all Google Marketing Platform products.

• Platform Home. Platform Home will be a centralized place for user management, administrative control, account snapshots, and billing across the platform. For current Google Analytics 360 Suite users, this replaces Suite Home.

• Integration Center. The Integration Center in Platform Home helps you get the most out of Google Marketing Platform by showing you what product integrations are available and the benefits they bring. You’ll see existing links between products and opportunities for new integrations.

• A common product switcher. Seamlessly navigate across all of Google Marketing Platform from a common product switcher in the header of each product. You’ll see products you currently have access to in the switcher.

Changes to Google Analytics 360 Suite products

Individual product functionality, such as Google Analytics or Optimize, remains the same. This also includes all existing integrations across products - no action is required from you to maintain existing links. Billing for Google Analytics 360 Suite products will continue as normal.

As of July 24, 2018 you'll see:

New Google Marketing Platform features: You’ll see the new Google Marketing Platform features listed above linked from the new common product switcher.

New Platform Home URLs: The URL you use to access Platform Home has changed from 360suite.google.com to marketingplatform.google.com/home, and the help center has changed from support.google.com/360suite to support.google.com/marketingplatform. This has happened automatically, and all existing links for Suite Home and the 360 Suite Help Center will redirect to the new URLs.

Updated naming for advertiser and publisher products: You’ll see updated naming for Google’s advertiser and publisher products throughout your accounts.

Within Google Analytics, for example, all report names and related metric and dimension fields reflect the new product names:

• Acquisition reports for AdWords use the new Google Ads name.

• Acquisition reports for Google Marketing Platform products are grouped together and use the following names:

  • DoubleClick Bid Manager reports use the new Display & Video 360 name, and metrics and dimensions refer to DV360.

  • DoubleClick Search reports use the new Search Ads 360 name, and metrics and dimensions refer to SA360.

  • DoubleClick Campaign Manager reports use the new Campaign Manager name, and metrics and dimensions refer to CM.

• DoubleClick for Publishers behavior reports use the new Google Ad Manager name, and metrics and dimensions refer to GAM.

You’ll see similar naming changes across all products.
