With Microsoft Dynamics Marketing you can unleash your marketing potential. You can easily plan, execute, and measure campaigns from start to finish. Bring your marketing vision to life—engage customers across channels, build pipeline, and demonstrate the impact of your marketing.
Now you can spin up your own free 30 day trial of Dynamics Marketing - just go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/marketing-test-drive.aspx and we will get you started quickly.
Click either "Brand Manager" or "Campaign Manager" under "Microsoft Dynamics Marketing" (1) and then click "Start TestDrive"
You are presented with the TestDrive offering - a guided click-through showing some of the features in Dynamics Marketing. To start the test drive click the yellow dot (1) and follow the steps
After the test drive you can click "Start Free Trial" (1) to spin up a free 30 trial of Dynamics Marketing
Fill in the information (the below screens is from a danish trial experience, my native language - you'll be presented with dialogs according to your language)
When the information and authentication is done you are taken to the admin area of the Office 365 tenant.
IMPORTANT
You'll notice that the "Marketing" link in the blue navigation bar (2) is inactive.
You will need to access the Dynamics Marketing Settings page to set a default currency and accept the license agreement in order to activate the "Marketing" link
To access the Dynamics Marketing Settings page, open a new tab in your browser and type:
https://(your tenant name).marketing.dynamics.com
A minimum requirement is for your to provide the currency (3), and accept the license agreement (4). When that is done you can click "Submit" (5) without being presented with warnings
You are now ready to pick the role you'll play in Dynamics Marketing (eg. Media Buyer) (1) and start your Dynamics Marketing experience (2)

Hi
I can't access the Dynamics Marketing Settings page. The browser says "Server not found". And I was very careful to enter the correct address. Am I the only one? - Anonymous

After you land in the initial 0365 Admin Center page where 'Marketing' is inactive, close all browsers and wait for MS to send the 'welcome to MDM' email and then click on the links in the email to log in again. It takes a few minutes for the MDM instance to provision. - Anonymous

Hi!
I´ve made the registration for the trail version and I have access to Office 365, but the "Marketing" link in the blue navigation bar does not appear. What have I done wrong? - Anonymous
