Story
PPL grew campaign execution faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, utilities teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Marketers and ops were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Slack put lifecycle marketing on Salesforce. Salesforce is the enterprise customer relationship platform for sales, service, marketing, and customer data, with Slack as the collaboration layer. PPL keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so marketers and ops do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier lifecycle marketing. Campaign execution is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join marketers and ops without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
