Less time needed to launch marketing campaigns

“Launching a new brand from scratch with an agency has typically taken anywhere from six to eight months. We recently did it in about two-and-a-half to three months, and a good part of that was due to the ability to coordinate with our agencies over Slack.”

FEEDBACK

Amplify the customer’s voice

In Slack, customer feedback leaves silos and enters channels where it’s visible and actionable. Teams can even automatically port key data like CTRs or NPS scores directly into cross-functional channels.

Lisa Dawson9:19 AMHi @Zoe Maxwell! Recently a lot of smaller customers have asked for content to help them sell Acme to their higher-ups. Would your new nurture drip email be something that would help? 🙏
Zoe Maxwell10:32 AMHmm, kind of. But I bet we could create something specific to small biz. 🙂 Want to chat tomorrow over coffee ☕️ to talk it through?
Lisa Dawson10:34 AMYep, that’d be great. Thanks!
