Hippo - Bloomreach

international go to market for Sales & Marketing Cooperation

Implemented Customer Success program

negotiated 2nd largest deal of year

Hippo was a top open source SaaS platform for omnichannel content management. The company had just landed Disney as a new client and wanted a more structured approach to international markets. We developed a customer care program to ensure retention and expand existing clients. This resulted in a 50% increase in annual subscription from flagship clients like Fidelity and saving the Disney relationship after the client complained the product was not delivering. By using an integrated approach (networks, techniques and technology) for remote growth international became a business driver. The company merged with Bloomreach to become a category leader in AI powered customer experience.
